| There is still a long way to go yet before this team looks top four IMO. With Westwood bollicking Currie in the first half, then Bridge doing the same with Laithwaite, they look grumpy, out of sorts and lacking direction. London put everything into the first half, but were knackered by the second, dropping a pass to allow one Evans try, then passing to Atkins to allow him a free run to the line.
I think Myler played, I certainly heard his name on the tannoy. Asotasi didn't really do much more than Riley and there is no sign of his fabled 'off-load game' yet. Russell did indeed provide some spark to the team, and Ormsby was a menace with the ball, always energetic, always handing off, and good value for his try. One nice bit of class from Monas to make a try and Laithwaite also bust a tackle to make one as well.
Bridge fashioned a couple of tries, but we also had one of his daft off-loads plus a missed tackle to allow a London try.
An awful lot of work to do still for TS, and with a team that has at least two out of form players.

| We still look like a team without a leader, no one is standing out to lead.

| O'Brien looks better every match. Needs a long run at 6 just like Lee Briers got at start of his career. Everything else up for grabs.

| Kicking - the wind was very strong and many of our conversion attempts were from out wide. Ratch hit it too high and it often got caught in the wind
Rhys - yes I want to see him on a wing for now.
I'd like to see him have a run against Salford.
Ormsby was strong but him and Atkins b%^^$ed for the (3rd?) London try.
Atkins still has a lot of work to do - he was pushed off a couple of tackles but at least he got on the try sheet so that will have helped his confidence.
Thought Laithwaite had a good game and could have gone in for a try himself but unselfishly gave it to Rhys.
There does seem to be some friction i the came - saw the Bridge / Laithwaite incident.
Russell - I'd like to see more before making a judgment
Still not convinced about our halves though.
Waterhouse played well and Westwood did his usual job.
Hill played well.
Credit London for their first half performance but we just didn't look at the races. Thankfully we're at the start of the season, not the end because we'll get stuffed by several of the top sides - oh we did- by Saints.

| Just got back now, firstly it's a cracking stadium with everyone freindly. All the Broncos staff I spoke to had a smile and were a credit. As we left the stewards wished us a safe journey home. When was the last time a steward at the HJ wished you a safe journey home.
As regards the match, we started well but had a 20 minute spell in the 1st half when all our 13 stunk. In the 2nd we totally turned the game around, Rhys Evans should start on the one wing with Joel on the other, Rhys will score tries & is good in defence.
A better game for GOB, when Russell came on & Ratch went into the halves we were a better team. Russell was okay and made one Tomkins type break beating 2 or 3 players only to slip and get tackled, very early days for him but I think he could turn out good. Bridgey was good and gave a genuine 100% . Hilly played big minutes and was huge as was super Ben & Trent.
There was approx 500 Wire there & we all had a good time, I sincerely hope Broncos stay up and if they do I will Deffo go again next year, a quality day out.
Oh and lastly Wire Yed was leathered, he had 6 pints before kick off.

| Personally thought gaz o'brien was fantastic today, had a hand in most of the things we did well going forward and seemed to be the main voice organising the line in attack
Ratch and o'brien halfbacks from now for me, maybe Myler can come back when we've got more confidence and we're making the holes for him to run through but today didn't think he offered much
Agreed on the ground staff all very polite and helpful, decent little ground, easier to get to than stoop, great day out

As is most of the away followings at London. Nice to see you before the match too, Yed.

Not really a problem in early March. In fact, our best team now is unlikely to be our best team in August to October.

I'm of the same opinion.
On another note, GOB has said himself this his is make or break season as far as Warrington are concerned, to his credit he appears to be doing all he can to make it.

Nice meeting new folks off the forum, sorry I was rather loud and inebriated.
I even tried getting a new song going for Gene Ormsby
To the tune of Geno - Dexys midnight runners
I'm sure people know it.

haha we went back to Euston and went to Euston Tap which is just outside the station. Got the 7;30 back into Bank Quay.
Did you go back to Birchwood?

| Just wanted to echo what others have said about how friendly and helpful all the stewards and staff were at the game yesterday. Unfriendly Londoners? Certainly not at The Hive, at least!

| It's my second game there now, I just wish some of the old Broncos fans would come back and help fill it up.
I think it's a cracking stadium, really generates an atmosphere, the whole arrangement from the two bars under the west stand and the food outlets dotted around to being able to swap ends makes it a fan friendly stadium, £3.80 for a pint in a London stadium is more than reasonable.

| They need to start marketing.
I preferred the Stoop to be honest - a shame they don't have the band and the post match presentations etc. any more. I always liked that.
Beer was good though and the food.

tbh it's a very hard sell when a team is losing week in\ week out.
I get the impression a fair number that used to go have already decided to see their rugby elsewhere and have given up on Broncos or see the current deal as just a way for the RFL to get through to the new structure.
Lots of marketing has already happened, but as far as I can see there just isnt the appetite and unless Broncos win a few and look like they arent for the drop then I fail to see how this will change.

| Some good trys scored, when was the last time one of our wingers scored a try like Ormsby's? Some good and hopefully confidence boosting runs/scores from Atkins. GOB looked good and took the ball almost into the defensive line before passing very good plays.
