| I expect us to line up as:
Darnell
Jerry
Turner
I Senior
Uate
Gaskell
Frawley
English
Kruise
Seb
Mellor
Wardle
Bruno
Taai
OBrien
Matagi
Ollie Roberts
A decent team and SHOULD be good enough to come back with 2 points. Then a fresh start to our season next week for me against Wakefield and can push on in the right direction.

| A win and we could move up to 9th, London are good at home on that pitch though. I don't care about performance, 2 points and no more injuries is key

| Sounded like a great result from the commentary on radio, nice to hear we were quick out of the blocks. The key to avoiding relegation/making the 5 is going to be winning games against teams we are similar too, and we have just done that twice. Wigan also winning, there is going to be very little margin for error this year as below saints and warrington there really isn't so much between sides.

| A good two points, much needed. London didn’t really offer much creativity, apart from once- their tries were just scored from our missed tackles, and speed.
It was always going to be tough on that pitch. We were certainly the better side, but We will need to be better individually in defence next week.

| good to get an important win , we started so well and never really looked in danger of losing the match... though did get a deja vu feeling when they got a try after half time to narrow the gap to 10 points!
but that resilience that was lacking early on this season seems to have been fixed.
mcintosh still has alot to learn at full back, sometimes wonder where our full back is when theres a break or chip through.
plenty of giants fans making a good noise, the stadium if you can even call it that is championship level at best certainly not sl standard, poorly run operation for me, willing to pay £5 for parking cant even do that...ah well they miss out

Me and my group thought the ground had a lovely little set-up, bit harsh to criticise it when up until this year it has only needed to cater for crowds of below 1,000, the 2 temporary stands have certainly made it seem like a perfectly acceptable venue for the crowds/level they are currently at.
Thought the Giants played well yesterday in attack but still need to sort that defence out and all too often London seemed to cut through it with ease but they aren't a bad side either.
Good following from Hudds too, not sure of the crowd numbers but from the main stand and walking about it looked at least half the crowd were supporting the Giants, good noise too.

| Yep - also thought stadium was good.
Good atmosphere and plenty of staff on the bars.
Friendly fans, sunshine, plenty of space for kids to play, a win - what more could you ask?

What exactly about it “isn’t superleague” sounds a bit snobbish when actually We got a seat, under cover, without paying a ridiculous amount of money which is more than many other SL sides offer. Even one of those with money and trophies.
The facilities were decent, and the staff weren’t jobsworths.
Nice little place - I liked it.

| Shouldnt take any of it seriously Jools
If taking pop at Wigans points reinstatement /Woolfords job prospects /giants supporters on facebook for claimed non attendance etc aint enough --then why not at a team that in fairness are trying their best to compete with teams with much bigger attendance figures and facilities
After all if you get it wrong you can in all fairness always revert back to a previous identity

Like I said on the Broncos site London didn't miss out on your fiver the car parking was over subscribed you have to buy a ticket through the Broncos site prior to the game.

Its good enough for where London are today. Small crowds and it can facilitate travelling support.
The benefits are rent isn't to expensive, the operation is based there with juniors and first team all training there, the Gyms there & the plastic pitch is all weather. It suits London today. We could go back to Harlequins, maybe Brentford Football, but they are too big, breaks the set up and comes at a cost. The owner is pulling back on his costs.
Well done on your well deserved win. You blew us away first half and did enough to take the points. I suspect you are now looking up rather than down as your performances improve.

Ignore him, every Giants fan i spoke to were very complimentary about the setup down there and thought it was excellent for what it offered.
A lot of other clubs could take a leaf out of London's setup in how to treat supporters and make their experience a positive one.

| will say again that setup and ground is not super league
just like castleford and wildcats arent
if super league wants to attract blue chip sponsors and get a bigger sky tv deal which is on the horizon then this wont appeal to them
its more like a part time sport which rugby league could actually become if the next tv deal is a bad one.
good day out but you could go upto the ymca laund hill, lockwood and its not far off being like london just less the 3hr 40mins drive

| Don't talk silly it's nothing like that !
You have seemingly got a problem with either the London club maybe your not happy they are in super league? or the ground itself, which for the level it is currently catering for is perfectly adequate for hosting 1,500-2,500 fans which is probably about the crowds London will get, for the price you pay at most grounds you got a seat which was covered, a large indoor bar, 2 outdoor bars, lot's of toilets to choose from, plenty of refreshment options and a good view of the action on the field, not quite sure what else you were hoping to find unless you wanted carrying to your seat and food and drink served to you on a silver platter, but at Ealing there is everything and more that all grounds offer.

You keep saying it’s “not super league” but you haven’t said why.
So.... why?

the ground not the club
it was just amateurish for me , cant park in the ground then first thing you get when you walk in is portability toilets... got same again this friday at wildcats mind!
we are trying to sell the game to sponsors and sky for a new deal dont forget , this is the biggest thing in rugby league in a long long time could make or break the sport. fail and it goes part time , then these type of grounds are fine

| in 18 months or so that ground has improved beyond all recognition to when the Broncos 1st took up residence, portakabin toilets maybe but at least they had the nous to make sure they were there meaning their were plenty of toilets for people, again what do you expect them to have in the short space of time, lack of funds, not expecting to actually be in super league ? as i said there is everything there most people expect to find at any sporting venue and again i fail to see what your issue is as considering it was literally a field with a fence and a few seats a couple of years ago to a 4 sided, well facilitated venue now .
I think your either been a wind up merchant or you think your a bit of a snob who had to slum it to watch a game of rugby.

So it was amateurish Because you couldn’t find a parking space?
Plenty of parking - you needed to open your eyes.
The toilets were fine-didn’t need to use portobility toilets- plenty of proper toilets in the blocks- /buildings, the toilet facilities in the ladies I used were just as good as at the JSS.
Think you are just picking fault for the sake of it. Jog on.

The portaloos are probably for the construction workers. The stand has only just been built and isn't finished. On the other side of the stand are toilets at the end of the main stand.

Crowds tend to drop dramatically when London play lesser teams. It's unfortunate that some opposition aren't attractive for whatever reason.
