It's those who would have rather seen RL in London die than watch us play in the last 6 years that some people have a problem with.

The C word raises its head, the last fallback of every batelooney conspiracy theorist on the internet since the day more than one person had an opinion which somebody else disagreed with.
pray tell oh sage of everything, who the members of this clique?, how did one join them?, what were the rules of their club?, was there a funny handshake involved? did they input hours of unpaid work simply to bask in the glory of a CEO's glare?

Oh you try to come over as so clever Homer! LOL! and it never works!
The Clique always liked to feel it was only they that knew what was going on at the club, but when others on the forum said they knew different LOL, what did they do!!!! start to ridicule and many at that time stopped supporting the club because of it.
I do not know everything, if I did I would contribute to every thread on the forum, I only enter into debate with
anything I do know a little about and when I have an opinion to express, which is what forums are about.
No Paddock Punter, I don't believe one can be a clique, there tends to be a few! and they always stick together always agree with each other!!!!! No transfers Homer sorry, you are either in or out! I think with David Hughes and Gus there are no cliques, could that be why some are always willing to knock them?

Couldn't agree with you more! after having heart surgery twice.
A lot of colleagues in broadcasting and media who visit the board keep saying to me, why do you bother even going on the forum? my answer is as it is the club that I love, they say don't respond to them, but why should I?
It would be great if we could all agree that we will never all have the same opinion and just accept, yes debate but then leave it at that.

Stop always trying to have the last word.

| Enough Guys, this is getting boring (talk about two bald men fighting over a comb... )
Plenty of positives to take from the game. Thought Liam Colbon had a good game and Gower still looks the class act we know he is.
Do hope we get the defence sorted out quickly. Conceding 34 points is what we did on average in every game last year, so we are on target!

we looked better with ball in hand than we did last year, its some consolation. I don't think we dealt with Roby at all well, as others have said he made the difference.

We looked like a proper football team, which cant be said about some of the sides in the past.
Only issues are things that can be addressed on the training field and given how much of the team has been rebuilt its no biggie.
Depth and variety of runners was particularly impressive

| Quote ="Colly2"On to the game. 5 Saints tries, all 5 through the Broncos' right-hand side defence. Roby and Lomax were lining up Melling and Witt time after time. Please, sort out the right centre spot - Colbon was great, Melling was a disaster. Witt has plenty to work on at 3rd man in too.'"
Watched the tries again on video. Looks like I credited Melling with 2 missed tackles that actually belonged to Rinaldi (who found himself out of position) and Witt (who was picked out by repeatedly by Lomax and Roby).
So, apologies to Mello - not a disaster, just a little suspect at a right centre.
