Magic XIII

We are - Blackpool and the early season encounter at POR count for nothing now

Funny, I was on line with them and they were forward. I think the fans were applauding another excellent performance from their team rather than the ref - then again Dewsbury were by far the better side and had there not been a bent ref and two dodgy forward passes would have won by a country mile. Get over yourself.

You mean Mason Caton-Brown you cock ?

On 10 mins that was a 70 nil game, we fluffed a gimmee and from there on it appeared we took the foot off the gas. Fair play to Swinton they showed the desire they had last week v Giants and got back in the game. I thought we were comfortable. Oldham , next week, week off then Bulls away, and then the big one, Fev at the Bash.

No, based on what I saw v Broncos

Agree, it was a double take moment, I was amazed he didnt see red.

Nice thing for London is played 7 of 11 away so far, so only 4 more away (inc HKR and TO, plus Hornets and Bulls) plus Bash (important game v Fev). Last 2 games we have been spot on, men against boys @ Batley and tough professiona display v TO on Friday.

Have to say from a Broncos perspective, only Lillicrop played anything like. The halves were awful.

Couldnt agree more - show ponies sit in the stands, grafters and team players give the fans something to cheer. Two players laughing and joking in the post match bar last week dropped this week. F off from me. I want to support a team who turns up for the shirt. not the pay packet.

Harsh We just gave away needless penalties, and that was reflected in 2 team warnings. Then again Fev were no angels, as highlighted by the Thackray trip - I had do double take that one ! There were good signs from Broncos but mostly undone by pens and the errant Jarrad Sammut. You cant defend for 60+% of a game and expect to win. The depth of the squad will be tested as Cunningham was assisted from the field leaving the only recognised hooker Foster who's on loan from Leigh. Already missing Battye, Ackers, Spencer, Barthau, Offerdahl, Channing, Grant, this is another big loss.

I'd be interested to hear more about this ?

..... even when played within the rules

Hornets or dare I say Headhunters were out for one thing and one thing only, grubby cynical unsettling rugby league. It took the referee - who incidentally warmed up with the Hornets - about 5 missed head shots before he penalised one. Head shot count Broncos 2 - Hornets double figures. Kear and one for the Hornets thugs got binned and then with 7 to go Kear was clotheslined, so one more to the bin. Other than cheap head shots their other speciality was time wasting, feigning injury. Broncos struggled with the grubbiness and need to harden up and stop the basic errors if we are to make the top 4.

Lights are no problem - played Yowies last year no issue.
