Well that was enjoyable. Result helps of course. When I saw our Interchanges I thought we had a chance. Some true physique and impact off the bench. And great to see Lewis back, I'm a big fan and he had some big moments; impressive in his first game back. Played some good minutes for a Prop; just short of 40 I believe.

Had we not conceded today we would have jumped above Hull; okay that was asking a bit much.

I thought London played very well today and whilst the kicking wasn't devastating, it was pretty effective; the kicks to Kershaw especially as Hull were pinned near the line many times. Thought Kershaw was clever on the last tackle in the corner late on. I was expecting the ball back to Leyland for a Kick for Kershaw to challenge. Instead Kershaw ran the last tackle. Didn't quite make the line but ensured Hull started their set 2 metres from their own line, rather than potentially making a big gain recovering our kick.

I'd like to think the majority of these players will return next year in the Championship. Add a few Southern Hemisphere players and we should be very competitive. Not sure any of our team is a certain Superleague starter elsewhere. If they enjoy playing in London, I'd suggest every player is at least open to discussions on another season.

Just maybe this Superleague season has layed the platform for starting the next season in a strong position; it would be fourth time lucky at Plough Lane.

Two things that stood out for me yesterday:
Meadows's improvement in defence.
Sid's performance.

Much deserved win. Good to see the players getting a reward for their undoubted effort.

Hull fan, thought you were excellent yesterday, loved the way you played the game and got your tactics spot on. Thought Meadows was excellent.

I have to be honest and didn't know much about Eccles, so did a bit of research this morning, the job he has done is nothing short of amazing from bottom of the championship to were you are now.

I wish we have that level of coaching and fight/heart your players have, hope you can hang onto him and most of your players and build for the future.

Congrats on your win. I was at your place in March watching Wire. Found your fans and stadium to be great. Hope it kickstarts your season.

Derek Beaumont has chipped in following our victory over Hull FC and used to take a swipe at IMG.
I have to agree with the man.

The thing is, if there had been relegation, we would have reacted brought in a new coach and 2/3 new quota players, the one positive about our situation is it has allowed us to play some young kids and take our time appointing a coach.

Hopefully they will move to 14 teams and you will be in.

If there had been relegation and we had not been slapped in the face by IMG.
We would have would have been in a position where it was worth recruiting better players , in addition we would still have an academy.

Maybe, Cas might have been in trouble then

Scrapping the academy was Hughes cutting off his nose to spite his face as usual.

.........he had to do it himself though. if he'd employed someone to do it for him he'd be deaf now

Amazingly, this time next week London could be outside the relegation zone.

Unfortunately for London, "their" relegation zone stretches all the way up to first position.

Still, it would be nice to clear the relegation position as sporting fans would recognise it (bottom team is relegated).

It would, but neither London nor Hull have covered themselves in glory. Hull were surprisingly poor but I assume they may benefit in the long run from giving younger players game time. We haven’t taken that approach. As far as I can see our young players will be, development wise, precisely where they were at season’s start. Frankly I’m not sure what our game is. Most of our players are on one year contracts so if they do improve from a year in SL we may end up not being the club who benefits. Anyway at least we haven’t lost every game and with a few back now there looks like real competition for places and we may become more competitive which will make the home games more entertaining.
