Thought it was an interesting game, not the best contest but saints played some good stuff, there was some great bits of play and it was heartening to see London not give up, they improved as the game went on and would have pushed a few lesser teams quite a bit closer

I enjoyed the match. Ok there was only going to be one winner, saints looked to stroll through for try's at times. But there was positives for London and they never gave up. Nothing worse than watching a losing side giving up so for me still a contest to watch.

Why not have them two teams?
Wigan vs Warrington this year... Boring as hell
Warrington vs saints only one winner.
Catalan vs leeds and giants. Walkover scores.

Nobody can predict what's going to happen in a game. Even the 'top teams' provide awful entertainment.
Well done London for showing courage and not giving up. Rugby league how it should be.

The difference being you have no idea if Wire v Wigan is going to be boring or one sided but a top team versus the worst side in SL is a forgone conclusion.

Thought London battled well. Had saints 26-30 but I will credit the broncos for that.

Disagree there. The essence of rugby league, and any sport, is the contest. When there is no contest, there is no point.

As in the game where they played away at Leeds, I decided i would stick with it until Saints got a couple of tries, and once it was obvious there wasn't going to be a contest it went off. I have turned off two games this year, and both involved London.

See to me, rugby league is more than just a conclusion. I like to see what's on offer, wether a team will under perform because of an opponent or a weaker team will show spirit and fight for pride. We all know Warrington will probably lose in the grand final again but I'll still watch it.

I watched it & was not as bored as I thought, as I don't support either side it was interesting to watch the young kids from around the league on loan at the bronco's. I thought they did some excellent work as individuals but they are just not a team & lack the experienced head out on the pitch. But it was rugby league & that is the only reason I have Sky so I don't miss it no matter who is playing, besides don't tell me there has never been a one sided miss match screened before in any sport?

Leeds vs London a few weeks ago? also a SKY sports friday night blockbuster.

Maybe they think it will be some what of an exhibition, so they know there will be some good trys scored. People loved to watch the great Brasil football teams hammer teams. To most RL fans it was probably a boring contest, but who knows how non RL fans reacted to it.

One thing I have to say, thought the ref had a very decent game last night. Didn't recognise the name, so I guess he's just coming through.

IMO the London Broncos are improving week in week out and it will not belong until they get a win or 3. They have quite a few young players who with the right nurturing will make a decent career in the game. The problem is that the coach (Tony Rea) is not the coach to do that and they have no senior players who they can use as role models.

Enjoyed the game. Not the best game ever, as London were clearly outclassed, but they made a decent fist of it, were not disgraced, and it was good watching their collection of young uns and lesser lights busting a gut and achieving a creditable scoreline.

Yep, those of us who have stayed with the club, are soldiering on largely because of the players attitudes, far superior to last years bunch of wasters, moaners and quitters.

I have a lot of respect for Rea, in many ways he is Mr Broncos, but as a tactician he's hopeless, to be fair I guess he hasn't a lot to work with and he has instilled a spirit in this bunch.

Losing by only 30 points a game now......Catalans at magic is there best chance of a win other than maybe the last he game of the season v Bradford if the bills are already down.

`there`? Sounds like your now an ex fan.

I thought you had "gone " Just from the Broncos board then ?

Sky certainly did their best pre match to present this as a contest and Saints a club in crisis. Sadly, the game was as one sided as when Saints sent their kids to Bradford that Easter Monday.

As for why was it on SKY, maybe when the schedule was put together in January they were expecting London to make marquee signings instead of being a collection of NRL never weres and Londoners who never will be (as harsh as that is to say.)

I'm watching the Catalans game ATM and the commentary is almost unbearable. I thought Sky had released Ben Proe, he's one of the worst commentators I've ever heard and listening to him stammering his way through nothing more than a basic visual description of the play is reminding me of this guy:

Hopefully we never have to suffer this guy on Catalans games again and they get Rod Studd or Bill Arthur, who are both capable commentators.

Made all the more galling by the hudds cas game earlier today.

When they could have televised that.......

I feel like that guy was screwed by a lack of punctuation on the telepropter, it feels like what he is trying to read doesn't flow or tie together

Yep.
The Broncos "faithful" on the forum now resembles an old persons home, with many reminiscing about their favourite games, whilst ignoring the fact that the club are absolutely buggered. Not only buggered in fact, but also doing irreparable damage to the game in the SE at present IMHO.

When I started following them in 2002, they had arrived in Brentford with a 3,200 average attendance.....if they had worked at that and added say, 4% a year, year on year, they'd be averaging 5,300 instead of 1,128 as they are now, which would deliver them 1,100,000 great British pounds in ADDITIONAL ticket revenue this year alone, somewhat replacing the need to take any more of the idiot Hughes money and putting up with his insane management decisions. Rather than "build a business" he has chased the dragon.....and of late, he has financed an utter shambles of a business and a sports club with no interest in taking advice from anyone until it's too late.

Still, the good denizens of the Broncos Board would prefer to wax lyrical about the "good old days" and ignore the imminent destruction of the club......so I decided to leave them to it for 60 days.....I will continue my apparent "destruction" of that forum at the end of June....

alas, no.
Bad grammar/spelling aside, I am a Broncos fan and as such, will follow them until they (or I) die..

Fun at parties... you must be...

Were they not fed up of your endless ,tedious statistical drivel every time they actually try to discuss a game that they attended?

On closer inspection, you'd see that I used stat at the start of each thread to highlight what was coming in that weeks game.
On the topic of discussing games "they" attended....if you are referring to away games, then there are 3 regular posters who attend, of which 2 worship at the altar of St David of Swinton and who try to glean positives from anything when in fact, reality is what is required.
Back to statistics........because unfortunately, they are the factual matter that explains why the club is dead in the water. London are on to be the first team in 19 seasons of SL to have a higher points against total than an average attendance......but let's discuss everyone's favourite London game instead of mourning the death of the game as a possible professional sporting option for kids south of the Watford Gap
