This could be the beginning of the greatest comeback in the history of London!

Sarginson over, 34-22.... 10 to play

Looks like you are quids in!

After Sarginson goes over the home fans getting restless, can't believe how Dragons have dropped off!

kick on last from half way by soward, bounces to dollapi goes forward then pass to sargy. great try. soward kick 34-22

People knock Sarginson but when he sees an opening he goes for it! Great Try!

Are you at the game mate?

WHY do we start off so badly?

So you can have the chance to stage a magical comeback.

This amounted to a stunning second half revival by the London Broncos. They almost secured a draw. Under the wise leadership of Jamie Soward, many members of the team begn to tackle their opponents and utilise a wide passing game, which complemented the superb kicking of Soward. This resulted in several tries for London.

This all augurs well for the Challenge Cup match against Sheffield, and the semi-final which will likely follow.

We started badly, but we had alot of new of new players. They didnt give up at the end . We might win one more game.

Sorry to be negative, but we are really now at the stage where we celebrate close losses?

A game of two halves.

First half: [iCatalans 28 London 4[/i

Second half: [iCatalans 6 London 24[/i


Had the game gone on for 5 more minutes London may have snatched a draw, or even a one point win.

The pattern: Wakey, Salford, Les Cats: we start playing when they are 24+ ahead. Good teams would have drilled us into the ground. Though two of the Les Cats players should have been off for tackles on Dorn and Soward.

But the game didn't go on for 5 more minutes, and London didn't win. I thought everyone knew that it was the final score that counted, not some strange aggregate of the two halves. London lost. Again. No amount of fantasising changes that.

Exactly. Why don't these numpties understand this. I watched Easts nil St George early this morning, a bit of the Lions game (George North weclome to the NRL) and then amateur RL with North Herts Crusaders beating St Ives Roosters 48-18 after being down 10-12 at half time. Off to Hemel v Rochdale tomorrow. The Broncos have much to learn.

+1

You take a very [ia priori [/irationalist approach to the event. From a man named Euclid I would expect no less. Nevertheless, you need to immerse yourself in New Age philosophy, so as to expand your cognitive horizons.

Tony Rea has said that a London Broncos win is just around the corner. It is a win waiting to happen.
So like Tony when I am out for a walk I look around every corner, just in case, and then I look up to the sky and see a silver lining in every cloud.

Vous parlez comme un vrai Francais. But my background philosophy is based in stoicism. To further mix sources, regarding my last post, Quod erat demonstrandum.

Was there. For the first 10 mins or so we had decent field position but never looked like scoring and kept making errors. Catalans then put their foot down and accelerated away. Couldn't help but think that in the second half they took their foot of the pedal and put the handbrake on, to let us have slight sniff.

Positives were that we didn't fall to pieces in a baking hot evening. However I have srious worries about the future with all the rumours of players leaving.

I am very proud of the monumental effort from the team in scoring four late tries.

Fully agree! it was not a win & constantly starting off so badly is not acceptable! But I do respect the way the team came back in the second half. Jamie Soward has made such a difference.

It's not good enough & Rea has to take the blame! Looking at him at times yesterday he would not motivate or encourage me. As a club we got carried away with the few wins we had at the end of last season under him and thought he would help us turn the corner??

Sheffield Eagles are organised and also a determined group of players, Mark Aston has done completely the opposite to what Rea does not seem capable of! What a fight we have on our hands! Perhaps Jamie Soward should be in charge of training at least he will motivate then.

Shades of Dorahy and Dean Bell at Wigan in the 90's! The club seems watertight in that there is very little in the way of rumours or genuine info about the state of things reaching the public....I.e. what the real malaise is, coaching? Management? Players? All three? Something else altogether?

how did Rhodri Lloyd play (I see he was down to play on the BBC site) ?
this is a bit of an audition for him at centre, given the weakness we (Wigan) currently have there.
