RL set to Daft Punk. What's not to like !

looking at the vid centres and wingers still not working together fully, and getting pulled out of position opening up gaps!
But did not look too bad

thought the same. Their fist and last tries were very reminiscent of the last few seasons.

True. Hopefully that will come in time sooner rather than later, as the players get to know each others game/mannerisms in game.

Great start so far considering the team have just met in the last week!lol...Hoping for some exciting stuff from Scott Moore. Gutting that Sammut didn't happen for entertaining Rugby League. But with Moore, Bishay and the NRL young lads, hopefully some pulsating Rugby for new fans to watch at The Hive. Cannot wait!

Let's hope the visas get sorted quickly as the first 3 games of the season are eminently winnable if we have the full squad available.

Amen to that!

It was a massive part of the game last year with the wingers getting sucked in by the opposing centre, all down to experience really. Good that we have two reasonably hard friendlies before the season though, previously playing the Skolars has not been a decent enough challenge in reality.

choices choices go to Leeds or go to Pompey watch the Royal Navy

You're getting the delusions as well!

Lol, glass half full, than half empty Sir! Try it.

18 posts and you come out with that!

Does that invalidate trying to be positive?

No, just posting some positives amongst all the negatives.

I actually believe that we will finish dead last with no points and will see 2014 deliver the lowest average attendance for a SL team in the Capital. The beauty of the "it's not a tenancy, it's a partnership" arrangement that took 18 months to put together is that nobody can be blamed when it all goes tits up......TK is on a win/win with 13 more games to clip the ticket on his stadium and if the crowds are bad, he still collects the rent on Underhill and the fees for carrying out the administration, DH invests less money than he has had to in previous years with the added bonus of even less investment in the 2nd tier next year and Gus gets 12 months to find a new job.
The only people getting mugged are the fans, who in some cases seem quite happy to be f()(ked over just so long as they can cling to their SL dreams for 13 more home games. There will be less of them in 2015 for the visits of Batley and Halifax, at which point TK will have to decide if gates of 800 for his RL tenants is worthy of further long-term investment.....I suspect that the club will be on a level footing with the Skolars within 5 years.

...but hey, I was trying to be positive, so let's pretend we have a snowballs chance v Salford at home, with one Mr A. Morley on 113 NRL and about 270 SL games in the first grade, which is more than, or very close to more than London's entire squad will have that day.

A morley is also 36

Paddock, u already said you are up at magic weekend, you coming down the hive at all?

Not as things stand!

Hey ho mate, if we win a couple of games then hope you will change your mind!
You are obviously still interested as you are posting so much, so hope you are not totally lost to the London (SL) cause.

They could win all 27 as well as the play-off matches and the Grand Final and I suspect PP's stance will change little. It has nothing to do with the performance of the side.......something some on here fail to grasp.

Gutters!!! you just cant resist it can you. It was a post for paddock not you! Let paddock reply if he feels the desire.

If you want to ask Paddock something, then PM him.

nah mate no need, bit like when I asked bronc a direct question you chose to answer on his behalf!

you have a strange idea of how a public forum works as opposed to Private messaging or emailing......and I didn't answer the question for PP, I simply opined that the results on the pitch were not the cause of his angst. Happy to be corrected by the man himself though.

A good work out for both sides, and whilst I was on the right side of the result I am hopeful things will be better for you guys this season.

Plus for me in Cambs I am more likely to get to your games than my own teams so I am officially adopting you.

Woderfull. Another voice to back the lads efforts.

for all bar the Dragons matches. Sorry.
