Sun 31st Mar: SL: London Broncos v Huddersfield Giants KO 15:00 (Sky/SuperLeague+)

[NRLandSL]

Leyland and Meadows without a doubt London’s best halves pairing. Campagnolo is a great player aswell but Leyland and Meadows have been superb this year.

Why don’t they want to kick on last tackle 

Small in-goal, skiddy surface. I don't blame them.

When you say early promise I assume you mean the initial crowd numbers? 

I said at the start of the year that by 6 winless home games in we will be way under 1000 home fans a game again....probably nearer 500

I know I won't be going again this year....rather watch Skolars in the Southern league and see a relatively competitive game. Plus I'll pick some choice northern games to go see

The only close-ish games we can even think of envisaging would be if teams do a 'Saints' and send down a youth squad because they fancy a bye and don't need the points 

That’s a myth the Saints team that went down there was good enough to beat most teams in the league. 
 

St Helens: Welsby; Swift, Naiqama, Percival, Grace, Richardson, Fages; Lees, Roby, Thompson, Paulo, Peyroux, Knowles.

that’s the team that lost to a drop goal.

Yeh but that’s a pretty negative mindset. They kicked once and scored . If you don’t roll the dice you’ll never know 

[NRLandSL]

So good for London to have Walker back, he’s there best player IMO.

Just conservative. I like it.

[NRLandSL]

Huddersfield looking very disjointed in attack today.

I’ve jinxed it

Bloody Hell the commentator loves Marsters.

”Too Big, Too Strong, Too skillfull, the incredible Esan Marsters” repeated a good 3 times

All he did was run a line mate

Far too easy. Looks like Hudds are starting to pull things together a bit more.

Shame that Lolohea's forward pass wasn't spotted.

[The Blues Ox]

I think when its so clear like that the VR should be able to judge on the forward pass. Also can we get rid of the live call, its ridiculous.

[Archie Gordon]

Broncos getting some poor calls.

[Jinking Jimmy]

A London player is tackled without the ball but both referee and touch judge miss it and a knock on is given.

Hudds way off their best. London with lots of energy deserving to still be in this.

You get the feeling hudds need 10mins spell to blow it away b

Not so sure. Watching all the SL games on Sky this Easter, I was impressed by the secure and safe way fullbacks and others handled high kicks on the last tackle both contested and uncontested. Very very few mistakes, so running on the last tackle well worth trying.

Another awful call! Macani is up playing the ball with oppo still pushing him down.

Not obvious to me, it was a rising ball and that can look forward from some angles.

Near the line they would be grubber kicks . Roll the dice , especially if you’re struggling , I don’t think conservative will get you far . IMO

True. How many times has the issue of forward passes been discussed on here. It's a sort of four- dimensional geometrical puzzle: x, y, z axes, plus t for time.

Not sure VR is much use without decent feeds.

Now that was definitely a try for me but again the footage was dodgy and the outcome would have been whatever the on-field ref said it was.
