How many stupid penalties did we give them? The lack of discipline is ubelievable. Rinaldi loses his cool when he knows we need the posession and nearly gets sent off. Clubb does!
When they run on the last the players are asleep - twice!!!
The playoffs are now totally beyond us. May as well get a new coach in now to bed him in for next season but these players have let themselves and the club down badly. powell will be the one who pays the price though.

This just gets worse and worse every week

Why would you spend to the max and have a below par boss!! I cant understand it. He wont go either.

Good God. A disastrous result & season over for us I fear.

With regards to Rinaldi, I would wait and see what happened. I was disappointed he threw a punch and then ran away but there was more to that incident. Plus he had a good game, probably our best player today.

Beyond belief really, a top level club (supposedly) and we have a youth level coach

This. As in interim measure. He was absolutely seething behind the posts.

He seems to have a passion to win! I just don't see that in Powell. I attend a forum at the Stoop late last year and he did not strike me as a guy who can motivate.






Is alex Murphy still kicking around up north, now he could motivate a team! Get him in the sheds for next week.

If you can't be a very poor Widnes side questions have to be asked and heads roll. This result is just not acceptable for a club like London have have assembled a squad at double the price that Widnes have asembled there's at.
Heads need to roll and Monday morning at the latest.

should of been after the Salford game. Its been left too late now. The season is over.

It is Monday here in Singapore and no news that Powell has been sacked!


Come on Hughes get your finger out! Do i have to wait until midday over here.

I am a ST in exile and expect to see an improvement in coaching when I gat back in June!

I really cannot convey how poor today was. Going through the players I can only name 1 or 2 who aren't good enough and that's the hardest thing to understand.

Widnes may be poor but not on a scale of London over 5,500 turned up to see Widnes today, we can see a team spirit which is beginning to appear, and one thing Richard Silverwood wants reporting for his shocking performance today. Was nice to see the row of away support coming to support there team

5.5 K in your first year back

You must feel like a big cheese in the region with Wire 5 miles away with a poor 14k, Saints 10K plus and Wigan 20K

like you have any place to talk about attendances

like you have any place to talk about attendances

There were only about 15 of us there today and half were posters on here. Some people question if this forum is a fair representation of the support of the club, I think it is.

I think there were more than 15! of us Bronco supporters LOL

Match was a disgrace, the errors we make, penalties we give away, we could have beat Widnes, but no when we were so close we make silly mistakes which is unforgivable for professional players to make.

Gower had played at the highest level and though there were doubters about his age when we signed him he is giving everything, something has to be done or we will end up with attendances at home dropping so low it will be become a joke.

Game could have gone either way. luckily for my team it went our way. typical game with 2 teams that are struggling. chin up guys. keep fighting. good luck for the rest of the season.

Cracking 5th post...looking forward to more of the same.

Sounds very cliquey Listy



Bit of a bad day for you - you're favourite team (Rhinos) and Broncos being beaten

it was pretty dire to be honest.

The only players who I thought were okay were Melling and Sarginson. Dixon and Rinaldi were alright off the bench but Rinaldi blotted his copybook with the handbags at 24-24, which fired Widnes up and they got back in the game. We were in the ascendancy up until that point and I think psychologically it had a fair impact.

No acknowledgement of the fans by Gower who was once again the first to storm off down the tunnel. He's also always the one laying in to players behind the sticks when a try has been scored, yet he's missing tackles left right and centre. Far be it from me to suggest he's got an attitude problem.

Special mention to the Widnes fans who booed Silverwood off despite having won the match, incredible chutzpah

Positives - watching league in the sun with beer in hand, Kaufusi and Gower, and Dixon off the bench
Negatives - one of the teams was mine and we lost a game we should probably have won, Clubby probably having an extended leave of absence, Howell limping off
Much as I'm not happy about Powell as coach - primarily because we can't defend, which he has to sort out, and doesn't seem able to - he can't be blamed for Dorn dropping the ball from kicks and in the tackle, or for Clubby's brain explosion at the end, errors which saw us concede 20 points (I think). We did score 30 points again, and that should be enough to win, but isn't.

Scoring the points isn’t a problem for us; it's just the other stuff in-between which is an issue. Yesterday’s defeat was a crippling blow; or a disaster if you prefer.

I (again) notice that the majority (all?) of the oppo's tries came through our right-hand side defence. I haven't added up the season totals but I'd guess that 70% of the tries against are scored through that side of the field.

I (again) notice that when Witt makes a tackle, the oppo push through where he would have been in the defensive line - I wouldn't be surprised if this has happened about 5 times this season; see first and last tries conceded this season for examples. This isn't entirely Witt's fault but a communication problem behind him - nobody pulls defenders across and Witt himself is lazy at marker (or, as Rooster Booster has previously noted, he's a lead candidate for "dead marine"icon_wink.gif.

The good news is that this is obviously fixable (though it needs the coaching staff to be aware of the defect). A vocal communicator needs to be put in charge of the right-hand side defence (as per Gower on the left) and I would move Witt out to defending at centre. The bad news is that I don't think there's a clear candidate to step into 3rd man in on the right who will bully his co-defenders and keep them alert. Howell exacerbates the problem with his poor defence so I'd scratch him altogether, leaving Bailey to move wider or Colbon to come infield ... Anyway, we can't go on with Howell-Witt-Bailey on the right-hand side - the oppo will continue to feast.
