Promised much, delivered little.
Some games I really enjoyed, and some dead rubbers watched by one-man-and-his-dog at the end of the season.
Hendo seems a reasonable coach, a decent straight talking bloke, and is obviously doing a lot more at the club than just the head coaching job.
Also some small signs that the club might finally be starting to get it's act together, but we'll see if that continues.
The less said about Ealing the better.

David Hughes said at the start of the season we'd assembled a squad good enough to get back into Super League and many believed him....same way they believed him when he said the name change was a good idea, as was the move to the Hive and there are some who believe the planning consent at Ealing is a 'shoe in".

I am starting to think that he might not know what he's doing??????

Bring on 2016.......relegation dog fights are what we need to brig the fans back!

Its fair to say we didn't have to much luck with the coach going, players walking out, injuries to senior players.....

Hughes has said we have the best squad(or similar) in the league for next year. I listened to a Rammo interview only last week.

He obviously wasn't aware of the Leigh signings from the Reds!

Is Hendo a good coach? Next year will tell us. Its his squad his pre season his tactics... He is enthusiastic, bought into London rugby, but untested

Sad the season started and ended with a wimper, at Widnes we always looked like a gambler chasing his losses with ever more improbable plays. The team (or maybe the whole set-up) was in disarray at the beginning of the season.

Enjoyed the competition this year I think Bradford were the only team we did not beat at some point. To be a London coach you need to face a lot of hard truthes about the club head on, but keep chasing the dream that London OUGHT to be the biggest club in rugby league. Hendo seems to have got it.

The move to Ealing indicates the decline is continuing though, can't see us remaining fully professional for too many years longer. The club has found Branson, Lenagan and Hughes to give it a crack so maybe there are more out there, and I think the three of them are all still in their 60s so not out of the frame for a retirement project! Branson net worth now $5 billion.

So still enjoying watching some RL, being a stubborn sort they will probably have to fold to stop me coming.

We need a Lenagan and Branson co ownership... Does anyone have their number?

Like a lot of people - a disappointment. It started with a car crash and finished with a damp squib. Give Hendo a full season and let us see what he can do. At times it was a bit like De JaVu all over again as a big Yorkshire pack would bully our team of triers and they would run out of steam well before the end.

The tackling technique needs to improve, learn the lesson of dual reg and get someone who can read a game and direct the team round the park. These are basics that have undone this team time and again.

On the plus side Morris is a gem who we will do well to hang onto. Hopefully we will have more luck with injuries and the club will finally realise that the fans are its biggest asset.

I hope that the game at the Olympic Stadium will wake up some in London as to what the game can be in the capital and that a group of business with nous will take the club over with a long term plan to build a real club. Nil Desperandum.

Well I didn't get to a single game for the first time in nearly 20 years. Only one I saw was on Sky at Blackpool v. Sheffield. Enjoyed that but it flattered to deceive.

What else to say? After the disastrous early weeks, things sort of stabilised but that's about it.

To sum up, a big disappointment.

However, next year is next year. I've bought a season ticket at the geriatrics special rate and hope to get to a few games when the weather is warm.

I would not bother with either of those. Branson was only involved to promote Richard Branson, remember it was under his watch that we sold thousands of tickets for the Challenge cup final, but failed to garner any contact details from it.
Lenegan, whilst he had a bit of an idea about marketing the club, he soon cleared off when Wigan became available, left David Hughes in the lurch.
Now if you are going to pluck names out of the SKY, ( No pun intended ) I would go for James or Lachlan Murdoch.
We however have to get on with it, with David Hughes.

Who knows, maybe the Trailfinders people will like 13 a side and want to buy in? Not sure what other hope we've got?

Maybe I should buy my first ever lottery ticket?

OTOH, don't fancy buying the club only to be subjected to a hail of abuse from you know who.

Any new owner would get a clean slate from me.

Except maybe Gerald Ratner.

& even he would probably be a slight improvement on the incumbent.

I'm not sure they'd be interested. They both show far more interest in News Corp operations in the US than anywhere else, and James is virtually a full blown American these days. Neither seems to have any affinity for RL, unlike their dad. I suspect that as soon as Rupert pops his clogs Sky won't show much interest in Super League Europe any more.
In the same way the the Broncos need to plan for David Hughes money drying up, RL needs to plan for Sky money drying up.

i'm with you.

Like every other poster, started with a bit of hope after the car crash of the year before - then another car crash, Blackpool, high then too many lows, a few positives towards the end, Dewsbury was beast away game i have been to for years then widnes.......................................................

Featherstone on Good Friday was my favourite away game this season. Widnes my least. So disappointing.

Even that wouldn't deter some on here I expect.

I started the season wanting two or three big ugly props and I ended the season wanting two or three big ugly props, next season will 'prolly be the same as for some reason London NEVER employ coaches who appreciate a good prop.

We got Thackeray but sadly lost Slyney due to injury.

I note Krasniqi has just signed a contract with Salford. The worlds best coach must see something that Joey didn't see.

I always liked Krasniqi's heart and application on the pitch, but I've heard rumours that he could be a bit difficult off it.
However handling talent and getting the best out of them is part of the coaches job, though obviously there are limits to how much slack they can cut one individual.
Be interesting to see how he gets on. There are a lot of ex Broncos players who didn't look up to much playing for us, but who are now doing well elsewhere.

Thats the nature of slipping down the order though isn't it.

Our best will leave, and the way things are, lets face it, it won't have cost Salford a Kings' Ransom will it? What would we have been paying him?

So for a tiny fraction of their salary cap they get an additional squad member, who can plug gaps for them when needed and who knows maybe they can develope him further.

Always liked Krasniqi too, never took a backward step. One thing I've noticed is how much better physically developed our lads appear to be after joining Northern clubs - take Dan Sarginson for example.

Rob, Wheeldon at Cas is the one for me that reinforces your assessment. He was a fat slob at the Broncos.

Omari Caro remained steadfastly crap though.

Surprised he hasn't rocked back up at Broncos.

The Season started with some optimism but as usual this was misplaced. A launch of sorts, quite low key but a launch none the less of the new kit and the squad. A shirt that once again started to look like a rugby league shirt. Then the pre-season friendlies started. Some encouragement at Catalan and then reality.

Most of the senior players around which the team was expected to be built upon were crocked or left. The Coach left, the usual northerner who went back almost as soon as the ink was dry on his contract when he discovered his bus pass didn’t work. The two on-field captains injured in the second game, neither to return for the season. The ‘prize’ half injured the year before and not available until mid Summer. A lack of props, oh a lack of props. Seven of the senior group missing so it was the kids that were expected to deliver. Would it have been any different, yes it might have been a lot worse. We could have limped through with 2016 having to be yet another complete start.

Instead the assistant coach steps up, sounds familiar, but one with a strong grounding and experience in the game. Maybe things could improve though the words of warning regarding the weeks to start to turn it round suggested this was a long term project and not just this season. Calamity at Leigh in the cup. The corporate hospitality shifted from cuisine to pub grub. Jubilee Line was closed more often than not and an unwanted familiarity with the Northern Line was developed. Wes stepped up as captain and it has to be said has been solid and occasionally inspiring throughout.

Some extra signings were required, Kear and Thackray aren't a bad start, but too many dual registration fixes, a year long loan that wasn't which robbed us of a good hooker. Often dominated up front, not quick enough around the ruck and sometimes short of ideas. So we have blooded a number of young players, one or two showing they have bright futures. Other youngsters have held it together probably being over played this year. The back line has been consistent and reliable all year.

A number of games with good wins, number of wins but not convincing and a number of games where we were outclassed by a bigger team who did the basics better and sometimes looked fitter! Another year of hoping next year will be better and we will finally turn the corner.

Good stuff that, Reiver. Very fact-based. Thanks.

I think Reiver summed the season up perfectly, well done.
