Think he was a bit harsh on some of them, Perry.

Maybe too much stick, not enough carrot...

In that case he may have only being reading quotes from this forum!

If he'd read out the email I sent them after the Wigan game there could have been a mass exodus..

Well, at least he's saying the right things so we should be grateful for that I guess.

He's being professional about it which is what you would expect. But funny how that would suddenly transpire on Monday

smoke and mirrors......aka bull!

Obviously his wife has just found out she's pregnant

It is the mid-season review. He reviewed and decided to go, simples. Shame we could not say goodbye.

To be honest I'm just grateful he is being professional about it. Let's face it he could have said a lot worse. And I suspect most of us would have agreed with some of it too.

What Perry said.

The only cost has been to the Catalans owenership and management - exactly the same as London's history (though many other fans continue to erroneously believe that the RFL has poured 'millions' into London ). Cats had the big advantage over London of being in an established RL area - albeit one that had suffered from lack of investment for years. In that sense, Cats are not really an 'expansion club' at all.

This is terrible. but not wholly unexpected news. Gower has been our best player by a country mile and i for one will sadly miss him. Whilst wishing him well. this season is a dead loss. Even if we beat Sheffield does anyone believe we are capable of beating anyone else?

i think we have a mass clear out - try and keep hold of a few - Bailey for one, and i would keep Dorn for another year despite what lots of said on this site and start again and try and have a better 2014 (if there isone). if the club folds in 2015 - we can at least go out on a high!

While I agree a mass clear out may be required you have to ask yourself two things (i) the current squad are not performing consistently to their potential so unless that is addressed we will not necessarily see any improvement (ii) are we actually going to be able to attract better players than those we already have given our funding situation and where we are in the licensing cycle.

I suspect the quality of the squad next season won't be fundamentally any different than that we have now. It might have better balance if some of the more obvious weaknesses are addressed. However, I doubt we will be able to offer long term contracts and thus will lose some of our better players.

You'd either have to wear a pair of platform shoes or have a quiet word with Tulisa

Gower's last SL game & Bishay's first. Little did the fans know that this game would be Gower's last Broncos game. Great image.

a very telling photo (in more ways than one)

You mean cos of the rows and rows of empty seats?

exactly.

How sould destroying it must be for professional sportsmen torun out to a near empty stadium. In wendyball, playing behind closed doors is a punishment. In London RL it has become the acceptable normality.

Growlers tackle looks a little high

We should expect Craig Gower's real opinions of the club to be revealed before too long by his mate Ryan Girdler.

Quote ="Partisan"Read article 6 about Gower, very interesting....www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 2ny83.html'" Interesting point about the February meeting with Bellamy at Harrow. It shows that Gower desperately wanted London to succeed, but that eventually he reached a point where he had had enough of the incompetence of Tony Rea, Gus McKay, and David Hughes, and of the team mates who won't make tackles. A losing culture, or a culture of losers?
