It was tough to watch tonight. Brian Carney made a good point, saying too many players just didn't care, just couldn't care less, could have played in a dinner jacket as they didn't want to get dirty.

This team should be in the Top 8. Where is the no excuse culture the best sides have? Huddersfield were very disappointed in their performance after scoring 50, but that's the attitude you need.

good post Ronnie. I would also be disappointed if I were a Giants fan, but I think that mentality is one that our supporters have never experienced. No doubt a small merry band will still be clapping the team off if we lose to Hull next weak. We should boo the team on and boo them off as at present the team are a complete disgraced.

Anyone see the shots of Powell? hiding in his seat, picking his nose. The bloke is an embarrassment. He has to go.

Towel out of his depth by a very long way.

Spot on, the problem being this couldnt care less attitude is slowly pervading its way through our small fan base, myself included. How long can this pathetic situation continue?

Powell sitting picking his nose, scratching his head and looking the clueless thing he is has made up our minds of avoiding the game next week. We will not spend around 8 hours on the road and a fortune on transport to watch this shower of muppets doing absolutely nothing. It has now become where either the towel is thrown out or the club are going to end up without even hard core fans. A disgraceful performance is an understatement and I dont know how much longer I can carry on watching ineptitude like this it makes me sick to the stomach. I think I have to stop putting myself through this hell and just accept DH does not have any bottle, RP does not have a clue and the LB should no longer exist - on performances like this every week we do not deserve a place in SL. On paper a good team and with a new coach maybe could still be a good team, with Powell we will stillbe in the same palce at the end of the season, boring, usless and inadequate

Next season we will have an aussie coach who hopefully will add some quality and we will not believe how bad we were this season. Now brace yourselves for the long grind to avoid the wooden spoon.

I won't be bothering again this season. The whole half hearted approach from everyone from the top down to the playing squad. No wonder attendances are woeful.

I'm done with this club
I didnt go to Orient and wont be going again-This is a woeful team

I'm not going to Gillingham - too far, too expensive and I can't get motivated to watch it - the people around me at Leyton Orient put me off (super pessimistic and cynical flat cappers, plus one guy with his son who behaved like they were stereotypical football fans), and I have better things to be doing with my time.

If the coach was cheaper and didn't set off almost 4 hours before the match started I'd have considered it.

I was all up for the long journey across to Gillingham, but after that performance, not a chance.

I have travelled to away games in the past, but that was to watch a team that tried, they may have failed, but at least they tried. That cannot be said of those playing today... farcical!

If Powell gets sacked this week I'll go to Gillingham. Otherwise, no chance.

I'm tempted to post my season ticket back to the club.

I'm still going to go because I don't want to see Super League disappear in London, but right now I don't feel like I'm going to make effort to take people with me, to spend money at the club on merchandise etc or to participate.

And it's only my first season, but between the way it appears to be run and the general negativity (maybe justified) amongst supporters in the crowd (bloomin' flat cappers!) I'm seriously turned off.

The saddest thing is that the club don't appear to give a damn about the fans..... If I still lived in London I would probably go, but then again, If I still lived in London I'd probably be barred from games

Good post bro and I salute you. I must admit, its quite embarrassing reading the posts of our so called supporters who are all throwing hissy fits as we are having a rough season. You lot should be bloody ashamed of yourselves and in no way should you ever class yourselves as Rugby League supporters or supporters of London Broncos.

I am happy to accuse some people of having their head in the sand but at least they are positive in the future. Instead all I see is morons wanting to return their season tickets and knee jerking to the point where we should fold. Humiliating.

Define a "rough season"?

On the pitch played all the other teams.....beaten Wakey and Castleford.....lost 11 other games. Those losses have seen 69 tries conceded.The Players look (apparently) bereft of ideas in attack and clueless in defence...the coach is out of his depth.
Off the pitch, the efforts to date would seem to be worse than any attempted in previous years....shirts late arriving, no sponsors, lowest average attendance in the history of the superleague in London, asking for advice on facebook

.....the list goes on.

As I say, I would probably still drag my to games if I still lived in London........but not for much longer if they keep on messing everything up

Does anyone know why the Chairman retains a coach who is incapable of coaching a a team to anywhere near its maximum potential?

The team has not won an away game in 14 months, and the team defence is leaking at a huge rate. Some of the young London players do not know how to tackle. The failure of the coach is obvious even to a blind man. David Hughes has paid a lot of money to recruit some high quality players (e.g Gower, Robertson, Kaufusi), but he has not recruited a competent coach. So given the fact that the coach has been seen for more than a year to be incapable of doing his job, why does the Chairman retain him?

I cannot comprehend this situation.

Poor effort

I read an interesting article about Steve Kean the Blackburn football manager yesterday discussing why the owners keep him on as head coach when its clear he is out of his depth. They have just been relegated and have had protests at the ground for a significant part of the season.

The conclusion of the piece seemed to focus on Kean being a yes man and "their man" (the one they installed against all odds)

DH has had a numerous opportunities to get rid ie post the Reds game, Bulls game, in fact most games.

I cant work out why DH hangs on to Powell- it will take ages to turn the club culture around when he is gone- to many of the players will be used to losing

as its being ignored because it might be about marketing,,,,I repeat here!

Has someone hacked Lister's account ?

MatthewVose For a first season you have gone through a time which is something like never experienced before and hopefully never again or it will be the end of Super League in London.

But I will never Judge supporters our own or opposition we all approach watching the game in a different way! We pay our good money and that is our choice! I will Never Forget that first game at Fulham, Mums Dads Kids and even Grandparents sat together, not a clue about the rules of the game but loving what rugby league brought to them rather than football, I can still see their faces we need to bring that back again, it is not living in the Padt! it is what our great game was built on a Family Friendly Sport!

Yes I am down at present with the way the club are doing things but I live with Hope this can't continue someone will wake up before it is too late and do something to save Our Club and Super League in London. Hang on in There!

yesterday was shocking. Utter disorganisation, amateur standard play - lower level amateur at that, lazyness, players obviously uninterested, no heart, nothing. I cant believe Rob Powell still has a job. It's a joke. That team does not deserve to be playing in Super League.
I'll be at Gillingham, my daughter is in the minis festival in the morning and the Broncos game is our, err, highlight of the day. As I said to 'er indoors last night I'm worried that just as I'm getting my girl into RL she's going to cotton on to the fact how utterly abysmal the Broncos are and it'll put her off for life. She'll be seeing us get whupped next week and she'll be seeing us get whupped the weekend after that as well. Thank God I took her to Dewsbury for her first game!

For me the real sadness was the utter predictability of it all. We all knew it would be a humiliation - Sky did, bookies did, Huddersfield did, fans did, and sadly it seems the players did.

Nope. Yes, this season has been a complete disaster but boycotts and tantrums won't influence the club.
