crowd was down as 2300 ish!!!! more than I expected, but certainly did not look like it

Lets hope a win like that can tempt a few people out on This night

as for le dracs being physical! (does not always mean dirty) then bring it on, as long as we stick to what we did yesterday, and let Clubby/kuafusi/Bryant put some big hits in again and see what happens
Basic rugby and keep hold of the ball, and not too many free mtrs with penalties
Lets Catalan try to get physical and take the penalties off them if it is dirty

Well rounded performance last night from the London team. Wakefield were awful and your boys picked them apart and made it look fairly easy. The big test will be backing it up against the Dragons on Thursday.

Great performances all round, particularly Gower; and Clubb never stopped, his MOTM award was well deserved, so many positives to draw from the game

No postings from Listy or DSWG yet, I wonder whose head is hurting more

2300 looked about right to me, the stand that you couldn't see on TV was pretty busy, and decent travelling support from Wakey.

Gower was superb, been a while seen I've seen a kicking game of that quality from a London side. Hopefully we can take some confidence from that and back it up against Catalans.

I'm still stunned.

Well chuffed with yesterdays performance......great stuff guys, more of the same please.

Don't think any player had a bad game just some had more outstanding ones than others. Having Cobon back certainly helped defensively - great quick thinking to pass to Dorn for his try!

Gower was the key man and our kicking game was great helped by the fact that the forwards got us far enough up the pitch before we kicked so that the backs had time to follow up and get to the ball!!!

Can the forwards do that amount of work every week though or will they burn themselves out?

A very simple 'low risk' gameplan which cut down the risk of errors which worked well on this occasion. Even stopped the silly penalties. Hope we have a plan B when we need it.

Don't know if Witt got injured but i think he stopped kicking when we started scoring on the right side and as he curls the ball right to left he probably thought someone else would do it better on that side.

Great result for the Broncos though and hopefully we can start playing with confidence now.

Two missed tackles all game. Incredible.

The best defensive display I can remember. Well done again.

Looked back at the records we nilled Huddersfield 24:0 on 8th March 2008 which I hadn't remembered, but then went to Leeds on 14 March 2008 and lost 48:0 which I do remember! Guess this marks me out as a glass half-full man!

So in my new optimistic mood for you guys going to Leeds this time if we lose by less than 72:0 things are improving!

Agree with you Blazing. Had a chat with CG in the bar. Came across really well and wasn't aloof like I expected (does look like a hard-case which makes a change for a London player). Great day...nobody let the team down (not even Mistress Ganson)



It was great to see Hemmings having to praise our team (he must have nearly choked) and Stevo trying not to sound biased towards us.

So proud of the London boys today...hope we can put in same effort against the dastardly Dragons on Thursday.

PS Thanks for the concern re my head. Its not too bad after 8 pints (luckily, I didn't have any wine in the fridge to celebrate with when I got home)

No need to add anymore to whats everyone has said here.



Good solid team effort.


Great to see we kicked to both wings for a change, seen to confuse Wakey as our normal game plan was never to kick to Dixons wing before. Colbon and Sarg work well together i think, they seem to talk to each other which is a good thing due to whats gone on before.

Strange about Witt and the kicking, a maybe this has highlighted a problem that we lack another goal kicker.

As for Catalans game, they are a big side so would it be worth a punt of sticking an extra forward on the bench..????

If not should we stick with same 17 and then rota some players for the Leeds game..??

Please tell me it was eight pints of lager, not vodka

Lager it was (although the Lager served up in the Stoop is more akin Cats pee)

Mind you, Cats pee is probably lower in av

Great win, best defensive performance Ive seen in ages, Bournemouth boy's nursing a major hangover (and he had to go to work today!!) - excellent kicking game, simple but effective, Gower's best game yet, Clubb getting close to his best, Dixon and Sarge excellent, no weak links at all. Felt a bit sorry for Wakey as nothing they tried came off but the way we played I think we'd have held them off any way! Back to back home wins!!


Roll on Thursday, c'mon London!!

I thought Cook was excellent, particularly in defence. If we can keep him fit, I think he will perhaps begin to prove his promise

Stunning performance by the whole team.
Can't believe our defence can improve so much in a week. Hope Rob Powell continues training in the same way.
Well done to the players & staff.

Watching it back again - Gower outstanding.

Also Ganson was extraordinarily tough on Wakefield, he gave them next to nothing. Hilarious!

Totally agree about Gower and to think of all the doubters and critics he had when we signed him, he has really risen to the challenge so far.

Ganson, the game is going more and more like wrestling used to be on ITV Saturday afternoon's, the crazy score lines.

Well played guys, Im pleased for Rob Powell (despite it being us) and despite the thrashing I loved coming down to the Stoop, great home fans, good stewards, great bar etc etc. Loved it.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

Marvellous improvement in defence.

Without wanting to be over critical!!! Are we to reliant on the kick to score tries? In the past I was of the thought it was Hudds down fall that they relied heavily on the kick within the attacking 20. I’ve always felt there is a reliance on and element of luck with a kick. Are we happy with out attacking options with the ball going through the hands?

Could Dorn be used like Mac uses Burrow at Leeds? Of the bench adding a bit of speed. When he came on against The Reds during what was a woeful performance he livened it up.

RE 1. Relying on the kick everytime is not going to work. If we get near their 40 metre line on tackle 5 it is the best option if we have a good kicker(which we do) and the backs get forward to challenge for the ball. We should either score, get some advantage (knock on, drop out or we catch it ala Dixon)or tackle them on their line - all advantage to us.

Any chance to run at the line upto the 5th tackle we should be doing but after that - back to the grubber or air kick towards our waiting players who can catch it and score or maybe some other advantage.

Its what Saints and Wigan do and it works!

RE 2. Not sure I even want him on the bench at the moment but i think thats how it will be ATM with Robertson at FB. Injuries to other players may mean Dorn will have to start.

Fantastic to see such an improved performance. Some impressive play, great to see Kieran get his first try on top of it all.

Cant recall any of our tries at Widnes coming from kicks. Think Saturday might just have been an anomaly in that regard.

Who cares?
There's an advert on TV over here for a betting firm...it shows repeated last plays from the NZ Warriors.......every single one is a kick for THE BEAST......it is the "signature" play of the team. It makes little difference if you know it's coming....defending against it is near impossible.
A few more games of this tactic and then you can start to mix it up on the 5th in their 20 or 10...........but for now, if it works, then use it!
IMO that is.......and sorry for commenting on the game and not the marketing....
