Is the idiot Hughes or Mackay ?

Most enjoyable for years? Don't know how long you have been going or what years mean. So was it better than when we spanked Warrington at the Stoop or beat St Helens. Don't know if you travel but HKR last game last season was pretty good winning to avoid finishing last

| The score didn't reflect the effort and endeavour of the players, the forwards were rarely dominated, a relatively low eerror rare and the first 30 minutes I genuinely thought London could win.
Salfords tries generally came from a lack of understanding or communication and the fact the Salford fullback would give Usain Bolt a run for his money(how quick was he). The heads never went down, and i think that with the new additions to come and more combination plays in the training ground understanding each others game there's yet more improvement.
I've watched plenty of London games, From Griffin Park to yesterday and I will say it was (result aside) one of my favourite games. The stadium although small (an admission of accepting failure just for GF) is brilliant for RL, you're so close you hear every hit, you hear the player chatter( of which London did a lot also encouraging) the ref talking, it's amazing. The noise bounces around the stadium, I didn't see them but I know Rammo and PC Plum were there because I heard them, it had a really upbeat feel to it and everyone enjoyed it home and away fans alike.
So Paddock, Euclid, GF and all the other none attending detractors, yes complain about the top men all you want, most of us just want to see 80 min of entertainment and we got that, don't dare call people sheep for wanting to be entertained and going and enjoying it.

I agree. Gigot has very quickly worked out the size of the pitch when looking for 40/20s, kicking long etc, but we need someone with a very delicate foot inside the oppo 20 - Drinkwater?
On Gigot's kicking game, I think this is one reason why both Widnes's and Salford's back 3 have made so many metres against us. He turns the back 3 around but they get to build up some pace on the kick return because our chase isn't as good as the kick.
Yes, Cunningham looks fantastic IMO.

I still think you should get out more so that you can understand the results of a game, every game I have been to and watched on Sky supporter's think they have got a raw deal from the referee, if a team looses by a small margin you could probably say that the influence of the referee could decided the outcome of the game but to loose by 26 points to a team you need to beat to avoid relegation is not down to refereeing decisions it is down to a team which is not good enough on the day.
How long will the teams enthusiasm last if they are beaten by 20 plus points each week, we have seen it over the last 5 seasons there is lots of enthusiasm for the early games of the season but after loosing by a large margin each week that enthusiasm soon goes away.

I should have put idiots, I admire D H for keeping the club afloat with his money but anybody who puts the millions into a business he has and makes decisions such as making the towel head coach and keeping him in that position when the club is loosing every week to me is a person who business decisions should be questioned. His business decisions should also be questioned over the CEOs he has employed since Nick Cartwright left. How many supporters have walked away from the club over the last 5 years because the club has gone from a supporter friendly club to a club who does not care about it supporters. The point which rammed home that the club did not care about the supporters was when the team stopped coming into the bar after the games.

| Get behind your team Wantawin, PP & Gfx - These kids need your support - draw a line in the sand. They were pretty good yesterday and Brian Noble made a point to shake every players hand.

Was it better than when we beat Castleford in the C C semi final at Headingly, was it better than when we beat Saints at Knowsly Road for the first time in super league, was it better than when we drew with Leeds at Brentford when Liam Botham kicked a penalty in the last minute of the game, was it better than when we were 20 plus points down at half time and came back and beat Leeds in Perpignan.

Nobby will always shake the players hands after a game, Tony Smith or Warrington will always do this as well it does not mean that they players have have played well they are just gentlemen of the game.

I think you need to understand that RL score lines are not indicative of mass beatings but often attributed to mistakes through lack of concentration from something as simple as not being ready as a team when there is a quick tap restart. 12 point deficits can be reduced by mopping these simple mistakes. Also, did you see the 3 forward passes yesterday? What Stand were you in? They were big mistakes in the game while the scoreline was still manageable, but left a mountain to club when the speed and strength of Hansen came into play.
I think you need to get out more, especially to The Hive.

I think I have seen enough Super League games over the last 18 years at home and away and on Sky to understand what a rugby league result means there is a saying which comes to mind when reading your posts "don't teach you grandmother how to suck eggs I was probably watching rugby league when you were still a twinkle in your Dads eye.
I can remember when Eddy Wearing was commentating on television with his favourite saying that was a great up and under s or being a southerner my knowledge of rugby league is pretty good.
After supporting the club in the ground moves since super league started and on the road games there comes a point where you can not be bothered any more. I am sure the Hive is adequate for its purpose and will be great when we are playing in the championship but you keep on going on about going to the Hive to watch a game will not convince me to go to a home game the only games I may attend this year will be away games.

Same here. Been watching Rugby League from here and the NRL for 20 years, so don't you dare come up with sweeping statements. Even so, I would take on board other people's ideas regardless of how long they have watched the game, their point of view is still valid. It's called being open minded and not being arrogant to think your view is the be all and end all.
Try the Hive one day, then spout off.

Just pointing out that highlighting how long someone has watched the game does not make their point less or more valid. Being open minded regardless is what forums are about. Last thing I want is to push people away from this beautiful sport. Hope you do visit The Hive one day and you let us know your thoughts.
Till then, best wishes pal.
