Well I have to say I quite enjoyed my first Broncos game. I suppose from reading posts on here and about crowds in SL in general I had fairly low expectations but the people who were there were pretty vocal and the players can't complain about the support they had taken the pitch and coming off at half-time.

In terms of the performance, the first try was pretty soft but they defended kicks pretty well after that (or did enough to put Leeds off). One or two out defence is fairly solid but it seemed to be when Leeds went wide they had more joy - more space and the one-on-one tackling was not so good. It seemed as the game went on Leeds had more territory so by the 5th tackle they were looking at grubbers/chips to the in-goal area whereas we were having to kick long for territory. Soward is pure class though - that chip and chase where offloaded to the young lad was nicely done. Shame about the kid fumbling but I thought he otherwise showed up pretty well, made a few metres in contact and kept going.

Now to the ref. He seemed to miss countless forward passes! Being a newbie maybe I'm not used to it but if the ref is constantly 10m away "reffing" (use the term loosely) the offside line, then how can he see whether a pass is forward or not from the play-the-ball. It's clearly how you have to ref League but if you're not up with the ball you'll miss those marginal calls all day long. Maybe his touch judges should help him out a bit more.

Overall I enjoyed it - would like to think that kind of performance could be a baseline to improve but it sounds like inconsistency is a huge problem so maybe I got lucky on a day when we were more up than down!

Glad that you enjoyed your first game Mooro, just hope we continue in Super League and you become a loyal fan.

Why when referee Roby could not hear the video ref on his earphones, did Ganson not put the decision on the screen.

Just read on the Daily Mail, Leeds fans saying what a great game Roby had as referee compared to such as Childes and Thailer, what a Joke!

A creditable showing and a marked improvement on saturday - I think that's all we could expect given we were playing Leeds, who hardly got out of first gear.

Impressed by Soward and Kaufusi. Sarginson had his best game in a while. We had enough of the ball to make it a competetive game and I think we wasted enough possession when we could have made it even closer.

You got it GF!!

Big, and unexpected, improvement from all concerned. Maybe one or two players trying t put themselves in the shop window after the disaster of Saturday (and the whole season)?

Agree about some of the fans celebrating though. Shows how far we've fallen.

Great turn out by the Leeds fans btw, they brought more than most do at the weekend. I cheered the players off because it was some effort in those temperatures. The players are not the cause of the problem but the symptom. The culture of the club starts from the top, a fish rots from the head.

Roby was dreadful! If there was a call to make for either side he got it wrong most times!

Glad you enjoyed it - you can't ever leave , you're one of us now!!

I think there's some merit in clapping the players off after that display. Let's face it their confidence was probably shot to pieces after the Wigan game. The general response from our fans was to say keep your heads up, you're better than that, keep going. I think that's a positive message.

FWIW I hold the club management far more responsible for our current woes than individual players.

Think the lads put in a good shift last night - from my vantage point in the armchair. Leeds never got into a high gear, did what they had to do but yes, it's a plus not getting hammered. This season is an official disaster zone so you've got to take whatever small pleasures you can. What was with Kaufusi last night? Where's he been hiding? And that little chip and run from Soward, great stuff - shame it resulted in nowt.
Was that Mark, tipping Guru, Rammond waving his beer about in shirt and tie? As for the drum....think he needs to get something with a bit more oomf, that one sounded like someone banging against corrugated iron
