I’d question that size is an issue as his defence has been consistent this year and held his own, at time made try saving hits- do agree better kicker, got pace, decent passer and unlike meadows he has good pace

1st half lots of game management- 2nd half struggled to get field position

London only went down in 2019 on points and had a whole host of players brought in so very different to this year and everything to play for but couldn’t compete when the ref disallowed the try at Huddersfield leading to our relegation

Reckon about right as stadium is a 14000 seater and 2 sides full

I do agree they have let the players down by not building a stronger squad so they cannot compete in a fairly equal footing - shame as broncos want to have this ‘home grown team’ but don’t support them by providing strength in depth!

There is not a single player in the broncos team who capitulates- what an insult! The money may not have been spent which refers back to my earlier point - you can only develop SL players by giving them exposure! I listened to James meadows and oli leyland speaking and they are honest about the journey and full credit as, unlike some of the top flight clubs who bring in young/new players, they don’t have experience around them to allow them opportunities to learn, they are doing it tough with a smaller set of forwards and no lightening quick wingers to prop them up. Capitulation is the further thing from any player in that team

Bet they haven’t - seen their 21 man squad and looks full strength

Would love to see London pull one over but not likely as the team has still got less super league appearances within the whole team combined than Wellsby who is only 24. Got to remember this when slating London. You cannot magic up experience as by its very definition it can only come game by game. if you listen the the players and coaches who are interviewed they are very honest about their situation and are taking it a game at a time. If they had wanted to seriously compete then Hughes had to spend proper money which he didn’t. Good luck to London today

Yes because people are not interested in small town rugby teams - this is our capital city and they are doing things tough

Not this year though

The RFL have always paid lip service to developing the sport in the south, provided ineffective development officers who don’t care one way or another! They want it to fail and I wouldn’t be surprised if IMG had been provided with the remit before everything was published with the message - sell it that we need London, set London up to fail and then sit back and say - we knew it wouldn’t work as there is no appetite in the south! It’s a joke!

Was there and felt like right amount- if it holds 8000 defo not more that 3000 seats spare imo

I’m not sure why you suggest Leyland is not comfortable under the high ball but do agree that need some more pace and attacking option in the half so Leyland for meadows as he brings threat to the defence line with his ability to intercept - Toulouse last year and fearhestone the year before, and works well with Lovelle so that would make sense - not sure about the others mentioned but having seen boafa at Newcastle he has pace but not sure of his defence or ball skills and think leeshaw is a good signing

But the chalked off one was never even close to being a try - if a touch judge cannot see a known on when they are in front of the play they should not do the job- not a TMO moment and never an on field try decision - went on to be several more TMO moments

Typo - dire
