| I am really upset about losing this great man who is the heart and soul of London Rugby League.
He has been badly let down.
In the backs he has pretty much a full suite of reserve/academy players with his first choice fullback and wingers (Mataitonga, Dixon and Duckworth) never available.
At half back in the main he has again untested kids.
In the forwards he has a reasonable set of backrowers but the smallest and youngest front row in the competition.
That is down to David Hughes and Gus Mackay and the full year of faffing around.
If you look at the players who first played Super League at the Broncos or left in recent years we could have had a team like:
Dorn, Dixon, Sarginson, Sykes, Caro, Soward, T.Leuluai, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, T.Lee, Clubb, Bailey, Vea, Cook
But in 2009 and 2013 Hughes wobbled.
We should be able to give Tony a send off this weekend.

| His later spells as coach were not great - but none should forget he got us to two play-offs, no-one lese has come close........................ He also, as others have said, cared about London and did everytjing he could to make it a success. If everyone else had put in the same effort, i exclude Nick Cartwright who also worked hard, we would be in a very different position.......................................................

| I agree Tony is a great bloke, if you cut him in half we would see London written through him, I repeat a great ambassador for the club, a great talent scout and above all a gentleman and I wish as fans we could have given him the send off he deserves akin to the one we gave Nic (yes Lister Nic is spelt correctly) . He got London out of the mire many a time, in my mind his coaching wasn't great but in every other field he was the consumate professional. Well done Tony.

Why would we want to do that?
Now Gus on the other hand ...
