I fear this is going to be another London "collapse" in the 2nd half. Widnes the better team so far indeed

Been on holiday so only catching up on everything Broncos related today. I think this has to be a hugely positive & promising week, I agree that in an ideal world there would have been a huge announcement made at Australia House, but seems to be enough stuff filtering through which is good enough for me! I very much agreed with something Matt Shaw said on their Podcast, in the past it always felt like London was a team, and this appears to be the start of us being more of a club. Very happy also that we're staying at Wimbledon, is a great stadium IMO. But I do think the 5pm kick-off does no favours really, particularly when football seasons are ongoing. Move it to 6 or 7pm and you'd get football fans after their 3pm games IMO. 5pm doesn't directly clash with as much things, but also doesn't give people time to get there to continue their day.

Lack of size cost us ultimately IMO. The final two Sheffield tries were very poor to concede and if I recall correctly their first try also came after a prop - Maybe Wheeldon - broke through the middle easily. We have two what I'd all big props in Bienek and Worthington, both of them were watching from the stands. Not choosing Worthington in the 17 with Bienek injured was a weird call for me. As was the decision to take the 2 considering it "only" put us ahead by 4. Losing O'Bierne to injury again, and Lovell to a HIA also didn't help! I was also towards halfway so can't really comment on the try decisions for us with Tindall in the corner, and their 2nd try. Be interesting to see on the highlights. Good day out regardless, I think with a few signings we'll be fine in terms of staying up. Home games this year we have won 2 out of 5, and lost two others by only 2 points.

Will be another stadium ticked off watching the Broncos at home on Sunday. Top of my head it'll be the 6th one for me. Agree with the above poster that it's a pretty strong squad, should be a good game!

To add, on the most recent ShowMeTheMoney show, Gledhill didn't state the exact date, but did say media have been invited down to London for an event in May by Hetherington.

Yes, recognisable as the current top Basketball team in the country playing in Stratford

Anyone who has been to a game at Ealing and a game at Wimbledon will surely be of the opinion that Wimbledon is far better.

Presuming the Wigan loanees are decent, it is a good pack. With lots and lots of untested outside backs. No idea who will be on the wings and in the centres. At a guess: Walker Wing Centre Centre Wing Polselli O'Beirne Bienek Davies Worthington Lovell Hursey-Hord Adebiyi Wigan Loanee Wigan Loanee Monk Winney

So I've seen that he was in the country already, as he had originally signed for Rochdale Mayfield. Which on the face of it seems odd...? This is a player who's at a good age, played at NRL, in a feeder system and left to join an amateur club in England? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think this is a common move for a player of this ilk? Please correct me if I'm wrong. He signed for Mayfield alongside Jack Wright who seems of similar pedigree winning the Queensland Cup last season. Could he be joining London too perhaps?

I took out a "4020" membership for the upcoming season, and received an email this morning with the details. So seems to be business as usual. Main concern now would be the team. I think we only have 2 backs currently, decent looking pack though!

But if the plane kept crashing, you'd think that something needed to be done differently! In all seriousness, it's a fair point, in an ideal world I'd probably agree. But I do think keeping the status quo does nobody any good, and by that I mean replacing Castleford with Wakefield etc, not making a dig at any club in particular. As you say, the game isn't flushed with money and if one Grade B club can potentially benefit that in the future, I'd say it's worth a shot. Big picture, we know that a Super League full of northern clubs doesn't make money.

Yep, precisely.

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered, but what is the benefit of this for Sky? On Friday night they had a NFL repeat on one of the usual channels, it was Action or Arena, why would they not put the live Super League on?

IMO, the strategic plan here should be to help France compete on an international level. And if choosing a French B graded team over an English B graded team helps with that, then I'm all for it personally.

Yep. They were quoted on the SkySports article
