[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

You say you can understand why it was done, then speculate as to why it was done?
Here's what the CEO has to say on the matter with the important bits in RED. The bit in large print explains where some of the marketing budget was pi55ed up the wall...

Quote: Dan Stains woz God " Mackay can now explain some of the background behind the reversion to the Broncos. “At first I was privileged to be appointed CEO of Harlequins RL,” he admits.
“But I soon found myself explaining to people that we were not the union club. And even then they’d say ‘but you beat Wasps last week’.
That convinced me the name wasn’t working.
“We consulted fans and players – 90 per cent wanted London in the new name and 60
per cent wanted Broncos.[size We also engaged a creative company with the brief that we didn’t want London Broncos as a title,[/size purposefully to get people to think differently. But ultimately we opted for Broncos, despite all that had gone before, and to be honest it’s what our chairman David Hughes wanted.”
How did Mackay feel about that? “I was

I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg |

How you think you are helping this club in going on and on and knocking everyone and everything I don't know. Can't remember the last time I saw a positive or Well done post from you. You had the chance to redress the balance on the dig at the Evening Standard thread but I see you chose not too.'"
Those of us who are Positive Dan have to hope that we can move forward and that changes will come, but whatever is said or done now will not make any difference with a very very small minority. |

We played well for much of Saturday, our main problem is being way too reliant on Gower too much of the time (and he is still a class act). Our support play isn't great, only Rodney was instinctively running the support lines on Saturday when Gower was tearing holes in Widnes's very weak defence. We really could have done with Dorn out there as I think he would have scored a few as that is what he does well, obviously there is some issue there, whether he has fallen out with Powell or whether Powell just doesn't have confidence in his shakey defence and lack of confidence this season). Hopefully a win will bring a bit of confidence, because in that last 10 - 15 minutes we really lifted and started to pump away, we just didn't capitalise on our chances and made some errors we shouldn't have.

Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 -
Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader.
Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward.
Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I?
Update on Quins Mogs :-
Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo.
Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas.
Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9.
Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg |

Well said Homer. As much as I am fed up with the downward spiral we are in, I still get to see elite RL in the capital.
Every now and then something good happens like when we beat Leeds home and away (and I did enjoy the nilling of Wakey, even though both teams weren't great).
If the rugby is poor, I at least enjoy a few beers with mates and other like-minded rugby nuts. Things are not so bad. |

Good post KF. Agree with that....Rodney will get better when he regains his confidence and I think we could do with Dorn as he does bring an extra dimension to our attack. |

One of the main problems this season has been Witt, he has been poor and the gap has not been filled. The same can be said of the centres, a new coach will have a lot to do.

how worrying is that - even the players dont recognise an under acheiving coach. Different team last year and still lousy results. Oh dear
