| They might try hard but some of the defending is dismal. Especially left side.
Said it last season will say it again foe this season macani is a nightmare, he has no positional awareness in defence and seems to be zero communication with him and his centre.
How many times last year did we see him stood 15mtrs in field looking at the back of his opposition no?

No one supporting London can say the game was entertaining and this is off the back of the Catalans game which was equally poor and a mildly more interesting game against Wigan. It really can’t go on. It’s no good for the club and no good for SuperLeague.

| All we are currently doing is proving why we shouldn't be in SL. I am also yet to be convinced Cake is actually a coach. I think Rhys Lovegrove added a lot last season.

What do you think about the Meadows Campagnolo pairing. Not sure either has shown they are above Championship standard. Clearly its difficult when we are so physically mis-matched with opponents but even so. o Leyland and Butterworth have been more likely to break open the line than them. We don’t seem to have a general driving us around the pitch it’s like Groundhog Day for the last two seasons before Norman and Whare turned up.

Totally agree...that was a completely miserable experience .....I've said it before but this season may be be a very very damaging one for Broncos
Any new fans are going to be put off for life
The best thing that can happen now is that no new fans turn up...crowds stay as low as possible and a new start in the Champ
I would far rather have paid my £20 to watch that Broncos team play a Batley or Widnes today
I won't be back this season.....
Wimbledon is an absolutely awful place to get to on every way ...by car, tube or train

Credit to the players. They did their best, we can ask no more. The mismanagement over the years is hurting the club yet again.
Edited to say the club might want to look at the ticketing system. Having spent £20 to look into the sun, I wasn't too pleased to be greeted by flashing lights and beeping noises telling me my ticket was invalid. Credit to the steward who quickly worked out I was genuine and not trying it on so let me in. Wouldn't have been a good first impression if I was a new fan though.'"
Think there must have been a glitch in the system.
Bought a pair of tickets, first one went through ok , second one came up as ‘ not valid for this fixture’, but the steward tried it on a different scanner and it was ok.
Got the impression it had been happening all afternoon

Computer was trying to tell you something mate. It was saying you really don’t want to go in there.

It’s really annoying because it’s been clear over last 3 home games that are quite a few RU fans, occasional fans and dormant fans who have been coming back to see us in top flight and are served up that. Players are clearly trying but everyone could see our recruitment was not SL standard and not enough through the door. It’s obvious that these fans are less likely to return when we lose so badly. It’s one step forward, two steps back all the time with the Broncos. Gawd knows what happens next season.

And yet today Thameslink to Haydons Rd was running today, Northern Line to Tooting Broadway was running today. I ended up getting to the game on the latter and left on the former.
Don’t know about trains from Waterloo to Earlsfield.
I don’t know about driving into London, I avoid doing it as much as possible.
Wimbledon might not be perfect but has more transport connections than many places we’ve played at before.

Fair enough. These things happen. Hopefully only once though.
Probably worth adding I spent the match with Wire fans I met in Toulouse back when we played them at Carcassonne. They tell me Wire rested three and were missing a fourth due to a bereavement.

We’re missing a few ourselves- not that it would have made a lot of difference……

| One thing I did find interesting was the presence of a small playmaker for Wire. (Albeit a back up.) I'm told their third in line is very young, very highly rated and vey short by pro RL standards. Are we begining to see the high tackle changes already influencing what clubs look for in terms of height in some positions?

We could definitely do with Bienek but the sad truth is no it wouldn’t have made much difference.

Yes he was very short. Yet we still struggled to put him to the ground.

For a professional sportsman he was very short. Leon Hayes I believe. About 5 foot 4 and half inches. I looked him up as I was interested when I saw him. Actually looked shorter, but that was because of the giants around him.
