Sun 3 Feb: SL: London Broncos v Wakefield Trinity KO 3pm

[Old Frightful]

Brough in the sin bin!

I remember being as surprised when I found out Frank Carson was Irish.

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

4 mins left and the scrum, c'mon Broncos!

And Kear goes in, 8 try drubbing of Wakey

[Man of Kent]

Kear seals it

[Futtocks]

Elliot Kear gets the Broncos over the 40-point mark.

[MZH]

Sounds like a decent performance from the worst team ever seen in the top flight.

 

 

 

And London have done ok as well.

[Man of Kent]

Broncos hit 40

[Chris22]

These are exactly the kind of games London need to win to give themselves hope of survival. Home games against the likes of Wakefield, Salford, Hull KR and Huddersfield.

No doubt it will be a battle, but they seem up for the fight, already confounding predictions of a winless season.

[Old Frightful]

4 mins left, London scrum on Wakey's line.

Kear scores.

Those betting on Wakey to win wshould have saved their money and put it on Brough getting a yellow.lol

[Man of Kent]

London 42-24 Wakefield FT

A sheer delight to see London’s hi-tempo, expansive rugby pay immediate dividends in Super League.

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

Great win for London, I think most people have vastly underestimated London and some being very disrespectful.

Onwards and upwards and this win will get a lot of publicity.

[Futtocks]

Brough getting the ball pinched off him a few minutes earlier probably started the kettle boiling.

[gingerjon]

Well, that's two more points for the season than I thought we'd get ...

[EssexRL]

[Cheshire Setter]

Well done London.   This season is shaping up nicely even after only one weekend.   More excited than I’ve been for a few years.

Looking at the London team I just can't see a SL team. I'm all for the underdog and I know teams prove the pundits wrong but IMHO this is the weakest team I've ever seen in the top comp.

I cannot see anything other than a big Wakefield win on paper of course the game is not on paper! Not being cocky but really comparing the teams Wakefield should triumph.

there isn't a single London player who would get in the Trinity side, in any position.

Wakey by 30. With the squad they have London won't win a game all season.

Be very surprised if he didn’t. He’s only scored 5 try’s in the 2 pre season games though so he’ll want to rectify that dip in form no doubt and get 10 vs London.

I can see Wakey winning by at least 20 points.

Some rich pickings in the pre match comments on this thread.

[muckymunksy]

Didn’t that world class winger waki have do anything

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

The bookies must be loving wakefield fans at the moment, easy money!

[MZH]

I don't want to sound too hypocritical because I also thought Wakefield would win today and only had London down to win 5 or 6 games this year at best (that could still be the case).

But looking back in hindsight there are some cracking posts early in this thread.

EDIT: I see OF beat me to it.

We’ll done London. 

It’s great being the underdog. ?

Can’t wait for next weeks top of the table clash should be a cracker.

 

[Cumbrian Fanatic]

Terrific win by London, it may still turn out to be a difficult season but this is a great start and shows that they can be competitive. Hopefully they can build on this and just as importantly any new supporters enjoyed the game and will return with others.

[Futtocks]

I like Wakey, and am very glad they have dragged themselves back up from a bad place in recent years. But I really wanted the Broncos to win today.

[WakefieldCityLoyal]

Very disappointing performance by Wakefield after going 12 - 0 up they thought it was easy and didn’t complete a set after that.  Well played London looked like they would score every set and a lot fitter.  Shocking performance from the Trin classic how not to play a newly promoted club.  Saints at home next.
