Not sure where to begin with in that one but you are aware Leeds played half a side against London because of the Cup Final that day? No Sinfield, Peacock, Maguire, Burrow, Moon, Delaney, Leuluai, Jones-Buchanan etc. Plus, Leeds were away that day whereas they were at home to Leigh. Leeds beat London 54-6 at home, for the record, which presumably by your logic clearly proves that London were vastly inferior to Leigh (who went down by only 13 points at Leeds).

From the limited amount of times I saw London and Leigh last season, I would have lumped on Leigh, home or away, if they had met.

Mate non of us on here are under the illusion that the win against Leeds was down to anything else, it was however still a win. I agree with you that we probably would have struggled against Leigh last year. But it's London broncos, the squad we have this year is a country mile better than last season so cannot compare. In all honesty I think the season will rest on opening few weeks. Because Leigh were so dominant last season momentum and confidence was all in their favour. This season coming their will be some more competition so Leigh will not go through the season with what was it 1 loss.
Challenge cup is another dynamic as well don't forget.
We could turn out to be as poop as last year, but the championship will provide some entertaining games.

In reality last season on our bad days Leigh would have turned us over, on our good days nope, the home game against catalan where we pulled back 20 odd points in 10 mind showed we could perform

I fully expect it.......i didnt say "I bet" or "I'd wager that". Any bet would need to offer odds due to one party needing one result and the other needing 54.....if you cant see that then stay away from a bookies.......i have made a prediction. Like last year when i and others struggled to find a bookie giving odds on us being winless all year, if i fancy a bet, i'll do so with professionals who understand risk and not enthusiastic amateurs.
as for the win v Leeds. ........it was a win agains a sl side.......something that leigh or a y other champ side managed in the last few years. The claim was they held the champ clubs held tbeir own, the truth is that they lost.........

See, i have predicted what i think will happen and everyone is waving betting slips at me, but i have also reported what did actually happen and im being hit with unfounded opinions.......all this and its 11months to panto season.

:tmc2shca

For what it's worth, Bradford for one, have a large squad and it seems that they are likely to rotate the players with the aim of keeping the best 17 fit and raring to go at the 'business end', aka 'middle eights'. If we assume that the bottom four in SL will have been busting a gut to [i:tmc2shcaavoid[/i:tmc2shca being the bottom four and putting out their best side, even if not fully fit, it does seem a reasonable tactic.

Whether that is the [i:tmc2shcabest[/i aren't all going to be necessarily the best 17 available. This does suggest that the semi pro sides won't have to face the whole of the Bulls 'top' side and they could be, to some extent, more vulnerable. That said, being full time is a pretty big advantage.

Fiver to charity then?

[url=http://www.gamblersanonymous.org.ukcheck out this charity.....maybe you could help each other[/url

Maybe if we just say London will/wont lose a game against part time opposition, hows that? So its gone from 54 games to just 18.

Other than proving you have a gambling problem, I fail to see what you're trying to prove here......but no doubt you think it's worth pursuing even though you fail to grasp the basics of laying odds.

Ive never mentioned odds. I see it more as a friendly wager in which I stand to gain nothing but a charity of our choices is the sole beneficiary.

I actually won such a bet a few years back in 2011. I predicted, much to the annoyance of our Oker cousins who used to populate (some would say pollute) the NRL forum that we'd get 200k+ for round 1 of the NRL....not one of them paid up, so I donated $250 anyway. Once bitten and all that......but good luck for the season. You're going to need it

Gotnofax only one person offered you up a bet, maybe he should have called it a wager, between 2 people but it's quite obvious you are not willing to take part or stand by your words. That's fine, just say so.
Nobody suggested going into a bookies.

He dint offer me a bet. He hounded me for an unfair bet.......given I simply conveyed my opinion and didn't say " I bet the three pro teams will win all their games against the other 9" his offer and subsequent hounding have done little other than point to him having a gambling problem. Others have chipped in......as I say, its a bit early for panto season.

Good god man, the bloke posted one suggestion that he would offer up a wager of £50 for charity that your predictions would be wrong, not sure if you noticed but it was you that started on about odds how is that hounding you. Quite obvious you have no faith in what you were suggesting it's ok. WHat has any post in Dec 13 got to do with anything apart from your self importance good grief man or what relevance does it have to do with this topic?.

You wouldnt have to worry about me paying up.

Only on phone as travelling but given I was the first person to release the news other than the barnet fc board, apparently......id hardly call that an own goal

give yrself a big pat on the back for how clever you are Gotno

Will do

Predictions for the Middle 8 anyone?

Or is this thread titled 'Gutterfax's ego'?

Gutter fax.

I've been reading these forums for a while now and I have no issue with you at all. Sometimes it's good to know the stats etc. so we can see what the club need to improve on and how we measure up to previous years et al.

My one point is that if someone gives you a bit of grief or doesn't like a post because it relates to marketing (and is off thread) can you just accept that is their opinion and let it rest?

There is no need to remove yourself from the boards/threads, just keep on topic and don't engage in petty point scoring. That way everyone is happy.

Anyway, as I said, I have no problem with you.... I just think it solves a whole lot if we just get over it all.

We're all Broncos fans, we all have and are entitled to an opinion......and a fans forum is where it should be aired. Lets just all accept that and stop going off thread with silly disputes.

Oh and if I get grief for posting this from anyone, then guess what? I'll just let it go... that's life.

All the best everyone.....So to get back on thread, I think London should get into the top 2 of the league... will struggle in the Middle 8, but won't be ashamed by any batterings... although we'll play at a lower level this year, a winning run will build confidence (a huge part of what we missed last year) and could help us massively against SL teams in a one off game when it matters.

Peace Out!

Already did mine....it's others who seem to have issues putting their down.

...no, that's the FORUM'S name...didn't you get the memo?

One thing that we all have forgotten and yep I know it will be a new thread but we will have a whole new raft of match officials to shout at this season and blame for every decision that does not go our way, oh and ignore when the decision goes the way we want.
