No effort, no guts, no passion and no pride! Have I left anything out?

It's a disgrace that we're paying these players to play rugby, you'd of thought they were all youngsters that had only just started playing Rugby League, but they aren't. And they have no excuses. Wigan were very good, but we didn't exactly put up a fight to stop their momentum, just let them play their game and we had no input.
And I didn't mean to come across saying that the ref favoured Wigan, he didn't favour them, he was just awful in every aspect of his game. Didn't know what to do half the time.

Alibert gets worse every time I see him, he's so out of his depth it's untrue.

| Well at least they are good teams so there should be quality rugby on view. I wonder what I was doing back in feb/march cycling 45 minutes each way to watch the likes of Salford and Widnes stuff the current bunch of pansies wearing the club colours.

| Not going back to the Stoop again this season.
We are a set of very poor physical specimens with tiny, tiny hearts. I have no problem in losing games but I have a massive problem when professional players allow themselves to be bullied, wander around with their heads down and make it clear that they have no enthusiasm or energy for the job put in front of them.
The players were an absolute embarrassment. But so too were the fans. 800 or so out of 3600. And then the very few people (3 or 4?) booing are drowned out by warm applause as the Broncos trot off.

| Its so disappointing when you consider the heart and enthusiasm they showed
against the Bulls compared to yesterday. Yes I appreciate the difference in the quality of the opposition but that performance yesterday was undoubtedly one of the worst I have seen from London. And thats saying some thing considering the last few years efforts.
We were saying the first half looked little more than an opposed training session for Wigan. Or should that be unopposed
Credit Wigan though and this Tomkins chappy was as Willow says worth the admission alone..

No we wont, believe me we have a production line of talent at the club, some of our young players from the 19's down to the 16's are as good a crop of players we have had in years, Sam is a brilliant player and will leave a big hole, but no one else in our game has a player of his talent, don't worry about us, we are in safe hands.

| As disappointing as yesterday was, it's worth bearing in mind that we were without Robertson, Randall, Lee, Clubb, Channing, Fusi, Melling, Sarginson, JO'c and Colbon (tho who knows what the situation is with Colbon...surely he would have played yesterday if he was fit?)
I doubt there's another team in the league who would have beaten Wigan with so many first choice players out.
Just our luck to have Radio London featuring us (Brian Barwick was there too).

Without his efforts in 2005 we wouldn't exist....he wanted to continue supporting us as well as Wigan but as usual, the RFL made the wrong call there...his Sports Cafe business continued to sponsor the club though.......he is anything but a turncoat.

| Is there any truth in the rumour that on Tony Rea's first training session last year he asked the team to take up their normal playing positions. All of them promptly ran under the posts.

| Wigan were very good, and we just....weren't. I would get angry about it but weren't we all rather expecting something like this? I put three quid on us before the game at 7/1, I need my head examined.
I would say a total clear-out of the squad is needed, but we've done that before and it's yielded the same mediocre results. How do you solve a problem like us?

we had 10 players unavailable, even if we had a full side we would still have lost by plenty!

Yes but of those unavailable, only half would actually have made an improvement anyway. That's a bit of a red herring.

| I think we certainly missed the 5 that played in the Bradford game, though doubt anyone would disagree that we would have been beaten anyway.
Sadly, it just reinforces the gulf there is between the top and bottom teams. We simply don't have the strength in depth in our team (or the quality for that matter).
£1.7m is not sufficient to pay the costs of a top 8 team in London, imo.
On a side note, IL was of course at the game. He told the Wigan players to mingle with their fans in the Kings Bar, which they did.
My sister got Sam Tomkins autograph. Who knows, may be worth money one day.

It's not the fact that we lost, or would have lost - it's the spineless way the team sent out to represent London performed! Seen plenty of heavy defeats over the years but it was the total and utter non-performance on Saturday that still sticks in my craw!
