I think this is the lowest I have ever known this club to be. When you have even the hard core fans giving up and not returning then things are bad. I urge every one to email the club with their dissatisfaction and let them know how we feel about not going to anymore games, the team performance and more importantly the coach. This is a team with losing ingrained into it and needs a new coach to change the pattern. If DH and RP still refuse to change anything then we can only assume DH wants to run the club into the ground but is afraid to say so and has RP aiding and abetting him to do so. Or are there any other reasons for this club avoidance of facts. Can any one say what is going on, Does anyone care any more?

Do you know what's weird?

A fan from the Fulham days used to be all doom and gloom about the club and say that people accepted player and coaching mediocrity and he wouldn't be going to another game.

That was Rupe.



I accept that a lot of what he said was off the mark, but the underlying message is the same today.

Watched the game yesterday and couldn't believe how confused and slow we looked...

I personally think RP has to step aside now. I'm not a fan of sacking coaches for no reason or too soon, but he's had a lot of time in post and hasn't even come close to delivering. I can't think of a sport where a team in the top tier division can go 14 months without winning an away match..it just isn't good enough.

Issue is, can we afford to sack Powell, pay compensation and then afford a new experienced coach? Seems we're running on a lose at the moment...can't imagine Powell is on a strong salary compared to other SL coaches.

If I were the Board, I'd get Powell in and ask him point blank.....what is your vision? What is your plan? At present I can't see it...he's blooding youth at the moment...but the senior players aren't guiding them enough.....and the Coach is responsible for ensuring they do.

Powell, what is the big picture?

Until we can see the vision, we can't buy into it....especially with a team thats getting pretty much molested every week.

I see the younger lads are getting some good results at u20 and u18 levels.

They have been getting results for a few seasons now and there have been good individual performances - but look what happens when they are asked to step up - they get RP coaching them!

It is the paradox. At youth level we're going from strength to strength. The amateur game is in rude health down here. Rugby league in London is not failing - The London Broncos are, and it's due to the comprehensive mismanagement of that club.

I said it weeks ago.......when the club left the Stoop on April 5th for it's "Superleague-walkabout", if they didn't get a win before June 9th, then the club could be looking at a further embarrassing attendance figure for the wooden spoon decider.
Losses to Leeds, HKA and Bradford already...if they fail against Hull FC at the weekend, how many of the 1,829 who watched the loss to Catalans will bother coming back?
If this clown is still in charge, then I would say, not many 5.314453125:5
