Sun 4th Aug: SL: London Broncos v Catalans Dragons KO 15:00 (Sky/SuperLeague+)

[48C North Stand]

Catalans by at least 30 especially if young Sam T assists the ref with his decision making and the overall application of RFL policy on the field. 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Catalans b y 30+.

[Tommygilf]

Attendance looks dire, possibly 3 figures?

750 or so?

Expect it will turn out to be 1800 (est).

[Archie Gordon]

Great start from Broncos.

[Segovia Carpet]

Referee Sam Tomkins having a poor half so far

[Archie Gordon]

Has become a whistle fest, sadly.

[Odsal Outlaw]

A quick google suggests that London is France’s sixth biggest city with between 300-400k expats. Clearly easier said than done but I wonder if a concerted effort to market this as their ‘big one’ for the year could bring in any of that group. Almost look to turn a potential low of the season into a potential high.

[Old Frightful]

London draw first blood after 36 mins.

6-0.

[JT RL]

It’s an hour and a half to get home. 
Frustrating.

Anyway .. what a cracking game .. super attacking rugby

Good first half from us, tackling hard is always good to see.

Are we still allowed to suggest Sam Tomkins seems somewhat in favour of a Catalans victory?

Well I’m sure some of the 400k French may be from the Catalan region or maybe some of the 40k Spanish!

Catalans will win this, but their attack will need to improve dramatically if they are going to do anything in the play offs 

[Old Frightful]

Fantastic try saving tackle by Josh Rourke was it?

[Click]

Wondering if we will get 1 game involving us that there isn't any technical glitches. 

[JohnM]

So THAT'S David Hughes, is it? He's not keen on IMG, it seems.

[Click]

It's a real shame we didn't have Rourke fit from the start of the season. I honestly think we would have won one or two of our closer games with him rather than Walker on t he field.

[Old Frightful]

Commentators praising Samkins for stopping play when a London player was injured.

Aren't refs supposed to do that anyway?

[bratman]

Cmon London!

[Old Frightful]

Catalans player runs behind his own man but no penalty given.

His whistle must have run out of battery
