Miller split them open again and goudemand scores

The pace is something else.

Some offload that. Deserving of a try

[StandOffHalf]

Lovely offload out the back from Walker and pick-up of the dipping ball by Storey to fall over in the corner to score.

[JDR]

Well-timed pass from Smith, definitely his strength IMO.

[Chrispmartha]

A good win Sinfiels was excellent, even taking into account the opposition 

[Chrispmartha]

Only 2 penalties in the whole game

[Damien]

London really are woeful.

I think that’s a tad harsh, they certainly give it a go, they just don’t have the players to compete at this level.

[ATLANTISMAN]

Leeds are woeful a decent team would have been 20 + more 

Anyway doesn't matter NRL Europe here we come

So why haven't those decent teams put 64points plus on them?

Not yet....

The worst thing about the Broncos are the patronising comments on SKY.

"London will win a game sometime"

And what a great second (unconverted) try. It's a lot like saying " Your house has burned down but the Garden Gnome is ok"

A team of try- hards more suited to the lower half not the championship does not cut it. 

The ownership of the club needs to change by next season.

You will never find someone willing to put anywhere near as much money in as the current owner. Without him London wouldn't exist.

What use is made of his money is the question, an experienced guiding hand for on and off field decision making is vital.

The first para is spot on.

On the second, he doesn't seem interested in hiring a business operation. 

If he left at the end of the season, almost nothing would come crashing down because the one thing he did build - the scholarship/academy - doesn't exist any longer.

EDIT: To add: even when he did have very good people involved in the rugby operation - thinking Ward, Langley, Eccles plus Powell in charge of youth - he somehow managed to lose most of them; and not to bigger jobs, they just moved on from the club.

Oh yeah, making the owner understand that they need to behave differently is crucial. However he's probably still reeling from the Gus whatshisname era when he let him run things.
