Fri 16th Feb: SL: St Helens v London Broncos KO 8pm (Sky/SL+)

[Henson Park Old Firm]

Looks like it's going to be a point a minute type of game.

[GeordieSaint]

Great 40/20 for London. 

[JonNgog]

Feels more like a one sided Challenge Cup tie. London look like an average Championship side… which I guess they basically are. The half backs look fairly handy though.

[GeordieSaint]

Bad pass from Miloudi then plus the winger being a bit too deep. Should have scored then. 

[JimBronco]

The difference in speed and awareness is so clear. Saints speed at the play the ball in the Broncos half, finding gaps in defense easily and team mates off the shoulder with those nice little short passes to send them through. Broncos giving it their best but lacking the imagination and creativity to get past this solid Saints defense.

Great to see Wingfield back. He’s going to be a belter. 

Beautiful pass from Lomax.

[JT RL]

London performing to the expected standard, but how bad are the commentators? Cliche after cliche … Tes even said that London would have to have the ball to be competitive > Doh!.

Tes doesn’t seem to understand that London will only score by throwing it around, miracle pass, etc etc

It’s going to be like this every week for London. Hopefully the commentators will learn what to do

The tired old moan about Barry and Terry again.

It's Barry co-commentating, Terry isn't even there. If you're going to jump on the bandwagon, at least know which is which 

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

Just lulling them in....we'll win the second half

[Henson Park Old Firm]

Haha, commentators telling London's management what to do.

[Old Frightful]

Ooof!

If this continues my team will be rocketing up the league table...

[GeordieSaint]

T-R-Y London… 

[Henson Park Old Firm]

Try!

[Archie Gordon]

Nice!

Have a test run of the bunker system *before* the weekend, you say? Don't be daft.

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

Comeback is on

[Hughsehhh]

London aren't bad here. Based on last night, they'll beat Hull FC

God, I really wish they had got rid of Barrie on commentary. Listening to him as a London fan is painful.

I am not sure why the ref/TJ's haven't stopped the game.. Kershaw clearly was holding his head after that tackle. I thought they had to stop it for head injuries?

Moaning about Barry and Tez is now a bigger cliché than the verbiage that emits from their mouths nowadays

[JT RL]

London looked small against/at Fetherstone, they look tiny against Saints

[Hughsehhh]

Refs been good. Not seen him before but marshalled things well

[GeordieSaint]

Solid win first game of the season. London were better than I thought - effort mainly.

Spot on I am afraid, Oli Leyland had a great game for London, but on the whole the effort was there but the ability was not. Not a great game to watch unless your a Saints fan. Rugby league is a social darwinistic sport where the strong devour the weak and the final score here does not lie.

For London, I feel a player such as, Dennis Moran, Mark McLinden, Jamie Soward, or Jarrod Sammut would make a difference and snag a few wins against some of te lesser sides. Problem is though money is tight with no main sponsor.

Depresasing night

We got Miloudi instead
