London Broncos coach Rob Powell said: "We defended really strongly today.

"I thought our energy levels were good and it was a bit of an arm wrestle.

"We were looking for a reaction and the players gave it a go. I know the fans want to see us trying different things and I really thought we did that today.

"Now we need to show this type of form more consistently."

You would have thought we'd won the game...

Pretty much sums it up.
We are a terrible side that is clueless once we get past 1st reciever

Even more bizarre is that we neither drive it down the middle and feed off off-loads nor chuck it around.
If your going to drive it up em at least follow it up with support runners - and our wingers had the ball 3 times. Once on an interceptions.

We scored after 6 odd repeat sets in their half and the. Did pretty much nothing positive going forward for the rest of the game save for a lucky bounce try.

Hull coach said it was his team's worst performance in terms of completeing sets all year. Our coach said it was our best defensive effort all year - yet we still lost.

Says it all

From the BBC website report

Tries from Ben Crooks and Richard Whiting gave Hull FC victory in a scrappy game against London Broncos at Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium.
London took the lead when pacy young winger Kieran Dixon scored his first try for the club.

Pretty much. The lack of support runners when trying to run up the middle is generally baffling to watch. Basically our attack is just hold on to the ball for 5 tackles and hope that the Gower/Dixon kick to the corner comes good.

reasonable crowd on today. slightly improved performance from what i've heard, which wouldn't be saying much

No. Didn't you read RPs comment: "I know the fans want to see us trying different things and I really thought we did that today." Maybe he was referring to the third option of giving it to Rodney to head back towards the posts for two or three steps, which must have been part of most sets.

First try?

RP praises his team for a lacklusted perfromance and just claims how good we were in defence. which in his defence he was right on that subject when in past no matter now bad the other team has been we still leaked points...But Why 'O' why wasnt he more annoyed with the lack of effort in attack..

Now compere his comments to the Hull's coach, hes won the game and he snot happy and has had a go at his team and wants more from then. think i have any idea which coach i like coaching my team.

I couldnt get to the game and had to put up with listening to Radio Humberside, who to be honest weren't their normal bias selves today, but even they said if Hull if had been playing anyone else but Broncos then they would have gone in at halftime having let in at least 6/7 tries.

They also like a few on here picked up on whats been said, that theres no runners off the ball, no one seems ready for an offload from our big forwards and that we always seem to kick to the same wing or play to same wing where Dixon is so it was easy to read what we do on attack.

Radio Humberside are biased towards who ever is playing Hull FC.
They only care about Rovers on there.

Never played his best hand today. Someone who was paying more attention than I said the strongest 13 were never on the pitch at the same time.

Thought Hull were there for the taking but our halfbacks were very poor today. Gower made a number of errors, seemed to get caught in 2 minds about what to do with the ball a lot of the time, don't know if its 'cos he's trying to do too much or if he got a bang on the head on one of the times he got caught late by a Hull player after kicking! When he knocked on after Hull's restart following Robertson's try any momentum and any chance of winning the game went! Witt has all the tackling ability of a blancmange!

We were too slow at the play the ball as per, and too predictable in our general play. We have 2 real sprinters on the wings today and they got hardly any decent service! When they did get a chance to run with the ball they scared the hell out of Hull!Shame Caro chose to go inside when 1 on 1 with their fullback in the 1st half, I'd have loved to see him try and get past him at full pelt!

And WTF is going on with Dorn? I'm guessing he's not injured - did he play for the u20s again?

Really think we threw 2 points away, I don't think we'll get a better chance to turn over a top 6 team this season, would have been a real lift to take into the next 3 games, 2 of which (Wakey, Widnes) we should be looking to win.

Lost count how many times he was taken out after his 5th tackle kicks. He always got up & got on with it though.

I have had enough of this now. I don't bother getting up at stupid o clock to even listening because I just get down even listening to it.

What has Powell have to do to get sacked, he is obivously not the man for the job. I am back in the UK for the next stoop game, I don't know if I am even going to attend because I have never felt this down in 10 years of support for the club!!
