You sound like you were actually there at the ground.
If so, how did Gower and Witt play?
Who were the best London players?

| First time I've seen them pay like a team, working for each other, this season. Witt played well, though stains haven't got any half backs. Dorn made a try saving tackle at a crucial time. dixon was well policed. All the forwards pulled their weight I thought. The big thing for me was the Broncos showed they could close down a game in the last quarter and grind out the win. Vast improvement.

| We spent a lot of time defending our own line and coped really well. We missed a few tackles around the halfway line but mostly managed the damage.
A very disciplined performance; made metres simply down the middle, looked dangerous on the edges with ball in hand. Hats off to the Albanian massive down the middle! And Ben Fisher brought a lot of fizz at dummy half.
You asked about Gower and Witt. Well Witt played pretty well but Gower was absolutely MASSIVE. I know I've only just got home and my head is reeling from seeing us win but I honestly can't remember a better performance from a London player than the one Craig Gower gave us today. And he acknowledged the crowd on his way off the field!

| Thought we really picked up when Fisher and Dorn came on. Dixon also was excellent, Cook stood out for me. Even Witt had a good game. But these slow starts still kill us. Saints forwards made loads of yards but could not finish us of. Great team performance. Two wins without Randall! Fisher is much better IMO.
I could get to like this winning feeling!

| Superb win, great team performance and some superb individual showings! Gower was back at his best, thought Cook and Bailey were excellent, Dorns tackling late on saved us too! Credit also to Witt , I've been critical of him on many occasions but he was great today!
Really loved the way the players celebrated the win, seemed to mean as much to them as it did to us fans!
One of the most entertaining games I've seen in ages! C'mon London!!!

| The team woke up after we conceded a try and their player got injured scoring, Saints fans chanting 'Gower is a w......er' think helped his motivation. Fisher was excellent, quick play the balls and great tackling. Defended well again but need a few more ideas in attack close too the line. Kicking game good and Witt kicked well. Great day

| Entertaining game all round with some very good defensive play by broncos. Bit more method in attack and things can only get more competitive for us.

You are refering to Mendeika? I wonder what country he comes from?
London Broncos is the only club with two Albanians in the team. That must be a record historically. I think it brings good luck to the team.
Meanwhile the team needs to think about thumping Hull at Hull and climbing the ladder to achieve its rightful place in the playoffs. However I will be more confident of that happening if O'Callaghan isn't in the team, and Channing, Colbon and Clubb are.

| So much publicity about "poor Saints" missing so many players. Well, three of them are self-inflicted through suspensions, another one Gaskell is missing by choice because they swapped him for Howarth who made a couple of dreadful passes late on. And I read somewhere that we only had 17 fit (not sure if that's true because our club doesn't keep us informed).
And it was funny to see Hohaia (sp?) having one of his usual brain farts and passing to Sargy about 15m from our try line, resulting in a try for us a couple of tackles later.
