Are London dark horses.

[philcow]

They have signed some good players and have recently put together a few good wins is anyone else thinking this?

[Michael Bates]

No.

[The Phantom Horseman]

They have finally made some decent signings and seem to be improving steadily.

Toulouse were really poor against them though (fielding a very weakened team that day) and by all accounts Widnes were their own worst enemies.

Whare and Butler are good signings, we'll have to see how Norman goes but we didn't really get out of second gear to beat them comfortably at their place.

I’d certainly give London a decent chance of top 6, but they wouldn’t worry me to much. Whare and Norman are decent signings.

[Steve Slater]

Widnes are my dark horses now that Gilmore is back from injury.

Widnes are really moderate in my opinion, they have virtually no genuine middles and are easy to steamroller.

Definite playoff contenders, but I've not yet seen anything that should worry us.

Not sure that Batley look as good this season, but I wouldn’t be writing them off, and they always raise their game against us. 

[Michael Bates]

Batley came closest to beating us in the league so far. Let's not forget that our half back combination was Dean and Hall that day after Taylor dropped out in the warmup, and also James Vella clearly had them in his accumulator.

I'll forgive Fev for that one.  We were totally dominant and should have run away with it. Ford went off after 7 mins with what looked like a broken arm. We were clueless without him, just could not turn the enormous amount of pressure we had into anything.

We're down to one functional half. London will fancy their chances next week.
