Why would Sky want to televise this fixture, it will do nothing to either promote the sport and even less for their viewing figures



If the Broncos were an animal, now would be a good time to visit the vets

Saints
Wakey
Warrington
Huddersfield
Leeds

next 5 games. Could all go backwards from here and could be lucky to pick up 2 wins from them.

Sky absolutely baffle me putting them on twice in a row. Against sides in form too.

A crowd of 1,036 allegedly.

I'd have thought it was around the 800 - 900 mark personally.

George Griffin and Mike McMeeken were the only positives tonight.

Depressing to see such a poor Super League team, genuinely feel for the Broncos fans. The Championship can't come quick enough for them, one step back and two forward.

Your quotes make it sound like you don't want other clubs daring to enter your elitist "big four" bubble at the top of the table.

Perhaps you should be celebrating that a team like Cas is turning in good performances and being competitive this season and upsetting the applecart.

As for the fans, we're enjoying the ride. It's nice to be aiming high rather than focusing on scrabbling away from the bottom. We're certainly not expecting to win every game but we do believe that we can win every game. If we can maintain this level of performance across the season and primarily finish in the eight, it will be job done.

For London, performances start with the coach; the team doesn't look motivated at all. Young kids getting battered isn't good for morale.

I totally understand them putting the London v Cas game on. As I understand it all clubs are guaranteed 2 home games on TV and when the tv schedule was being done it would seem like one London stood more of a chance in than others.

I can't for the life of me understand putting on the Leeds v London game. Was always going to be a hiding and a non-event, even with 6 or 7 Leeds first choice players out/rested.

So far they have three more games for the Broncos listed in the games to be televised on the Sky Sports website. They are against St Helens at Langtree Park on 1st May (no doubt another hammering in prospect) and then against Catalans at MW and finally on 30th August in Perpignan. Hopefully they will see sense and not show any more than those already chosen involving London.

agreed, this should end now.
Why don't they show a TOP game from the championship instead... HA HA HA

Should have been Huddersfield Vs Warrington this week as the second game. Not complaining though as I got to watch the game live as I couldn't be bothered getting the time off work to travel to London on a Thursday!!

Bet Richard Lewis is in tears right now....bless the tennis geek/snob !

or maybe not.

Why is that?

more fans...

The Broncos situation is an absolute shambles. The owners should be ashamed they've let it come to this...

Loved the Moby d1ck comment

I, for one, am glad to see someone different in the top 4 at the moment. Whether they will be at the end of the season or not, who knows. TBH Cas don't have a brilliant squad (only carney, huby and Clark stand out for me), but they do have brilliant coach who has got them playing some fantastic rugby.

If Powell's time at fev is anything to go by then cas will do great all season until they get to a final and choke

Sky have always based their TV games on last seasons results, London beat Leeds and draw with Cas that's why they choose those two games.

I can't see why they don't just persist with playing Mikey Bishay and Woodburn-Hall, signing rubbish like Drinkwater and Farrer is making things even worse.

Don't worry, we will have a whole mini-league of these types of games next year to look forward to.

Sky usually schedule the games before the season even starts. They would have looked at the fixtures and picked out London and Cas playing in March to be an early relegation mouth waterer. How wrong they were. The only predictable thing about the opening 5 or 10 games of Super League are their unpredictability.

Not really a surprise. Tony has done some good things as coach, albeit not for a while. However he made no real effort to build up youth development down here in his first spell. Brian Mac did that. Tony has always preferred to ship someone in tbh. I watched several Broncos youth games at Aldershot last season but didn't notice Tony there, I saw Rob Powell there once when coach. Brian Mac did turn up last season to watch London v Leeds. Very different approaches.

In his defence Tony is aware if the damage that can be done to youngsters pushed in too often, particularly in awful teams. He has referred to Olu Iowefenu and Josef Sozi as examples. I'm not sure that defence works re Mikey mind, he's not 18 any more.

The biggest worry is that games like last night do little to quieten the expansion disenters.

"Rugby League in London" is very different to "London Broncos", yet people regularly (deliberately?) confuse the two.

There is no denying that the London Broncos are extremely badly run, but don't let that hide the fact that some amazing work has been done in the capital and SE. It would be a tragedy to lose this on the basis of the cock-ups by Gus Mackay and David Hughes.

Sadly RL down here is not in a good place. The development officers have largely gone. Few amateur teams are stable. The oldest amateur team in London is only 2 or 3 years old believe it or not. Few have a good junior set up, this has definitely declined in recent years. Largely due to the loss of South London who were strong here. Broncos managed to lose Phil Jones, who did an outstanding job.

There are bright spots - outside London but Medway are an admirable club. Oxford are working on a youth set up whilst Hemel continue to build quietly and financially soundly both on and off pitch.

Truth be told my concern is that the Broncos fiasco is distracting attention from the fact RL is wobbling at all levels in London.

The RFL face some huge calls. The talent exists down here. Whether the sport has the desire and / or money to develop it remains to be seen.

Why not. Donny v Fev on Sunday was ten times better than that dross last night.

Im the same as one of the previous posters , I gave it till half time then off it went.
