Its a complete disgrace that he's still head coach, and its disrespectful to all the fans who spend hard earned cash on season tickets and travel. I bought a season ticket in good faith, the club are taking the mickey out of this great sport and their loyal fans. We are easily the worst side in the league under RP and going nowhere.

From the outside looking in, i really can't see how and why Powell is still the head coach. Its clear he has no idea about coaching, tactics, and he can't motivate players. Why is he still your coach?

Motivation is what bugs me the most. There are many teams i.e Widnes who are not up to standard but the coach gets them to put a shift in and hence pick up a few points here and there and often the big scalp.

Effort gets you a long way in a physical sport like RL even if you are not particlarly gifted or tactically aware.

You're right. Look at Cas - absolutely woeful against Widnes last Monday, yet look what they did yesterday to Hudds. And they're still missing Chase. Teams pick themselves up after a drubbing. We don't.

What is hard to bear is the fact that we haven't won games that we should have won, such as the home games against Bradford and Hull and the away games against Salford and Widnes. That is what really grates.[/quote]

Salford 44-12 London a game you should have won.....take your tablet, that will make you feel better!!

Red Mountain - I was talking about that game in the context of our season. Previous to our game, Broncos had lost four games the last of which had seen a decent performance against Hudds. If Broncos were going to turn things around, it was reasonable to expect that they could start with a further improved performance against Salford and possibly a win.

However, as we know, Broncos were absolute rubbish at Salford (I was there) and for me, the writing was on the wall for Broncos from the final whistle.

No arguments from me or anyone on these boards....Salford are a much better side than London. Well done to them.

The funniest thing having actually gone to the game, the highlight being seeing at least Lovell scoring try and getting drunk again, we have a benchmark now, we know its bad, let's get on with it, let's just make it our season goal to actually complete a set of six and finish with a tasty punt , at least next year we can move on in front of 800 people next year and carry on enjoying the beer

Re: v BRADFORD : Thu Jul 12, 2012 8:45 pm  

Is Lovell going to make SL level? He has the size for a centre but has he shown anything to say he has the ability?
