| Quote: The Penguin "Too often, with ball in hand, we have no second phase, no plan B other than give it to Gower or Dixon and hope for the best. Everyone else feels like a passenger.'"
This, to me, is a massive failing. Craig Gower does all his good work moving play right to left. This is fine for one side of the field but I don't see any threat from us when the ball moves right - in fact I sometimes find myself cringing in embarrassment as static attacker passes to static attacker.

| O'Callaghan (2008-2013) - Six seasons.
Won: 18. Drawn: 2. Lost 71. Win ratio: Under 20%.
He has scored 18 tries from wing, centre and full back.
He must have conceded 100s of tries down his wing in those 91 games.
How many more chances will he have?

1649_1338292262.jpg I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg |

| I just wonder what goes on in training? what is said by the coach prior to the game and more important half time as we just seem a side with no belief at all.

Half time appears to consist of the ingestion of sleeping pills although I suspect Kaufusi takes his before the game.

| Quote: Colly2 "1. Rea should have signed a right centre for 2013 instead of 2 hookers. As should Powell for 2012 for that matter.
2. Howell was/is a left centre who is like a fish out of water on the right.
3. Sarginson was/could again be a decent left centre with ball in hand just so long as you don't defend him at left centre. How many times does Steve Menzies have to prove this point?
4. I'd like to see if Lovell and McMeeken could do a better job - perhaps not but I can't see either of them defending worse than Sarginson.
Even with the same personnel, there are many options in terms of rearranging the defence. Rea continues to follow Powell's failed formulas to the letter - even to the extent that he chucked JOC back into the centres late in the game for yet another last hurrah!
I don't mind the defeats, just the complete lack of problem-solving displayed by someone who knows his rugby league. Rea is a good coach with a good track record but he's currently busy writing off the 2013 season.'"
Powell was handed the chance to sign a centre for 2013, he went with Shane Grady

| I have to commend each and every one of you who spend their hard earned watching that bunch every other week. To put it frankly, that is easily the worst side I've seen in Super League.
The highest rated player, Dixon, is nowhere near as good as he's been hyped up to be. He carries the ball sloppy at times and his defensive game simply isn't good enough due to his size.
Mike McMeekan is another I've seen talked up on here. God, if that's the best on offer you have to seriously worry. Sarginson isn't fantastic but the big issue is when he goes imagine the standard of the replacement.
The older and apparently more experienced players are far worse than the young kids. Howell, O'Callaghan, Witt etc were beyond diabolical and frankly stealing a living.

I would agree on Dixon, he has a lot to learn. Such raw pace and attacking flair is not something that the Broncos have in abundance though.

| One incompetent or substandard player in an otherwise good team can make a team's chances of winning difficult. Two incompetent or substandard players can destroy a team's chances of winning. Three incompetent or substandard players can result in a humiliating massive loss.
London Broncos has at least three incompetent or substandard players playing each week: O'Callaghan, Howell and McMeeken were the ones last Saturday. No matter how good Craig Gower is -- and he is a very good scrum half -- that fact of having too many substandard players on the field is enough to be able to predict a humiliating defeat for London week after week.

| I thought we made an exceptional contribution to the concept of the Magic weekend. We managed to vanish our defence for much of the second half!

| On Kieran Dixon's try, you have to say how clever and good it was. The thing for me to notice is that it's not hyped up like it is here in oz.
Go to you tube and look up:
Billy Slater best try ever
then tell me what was so different. It's amazing how people don't comment much on a try but when an aussie does it in a big game, they get through a box of kleenex.

| And Dixon stepped the winger before putting in his kick, Billy the Kid just ran onto Lockyers kick.

| to be fair if you watch it back, Dixon had a man on his inside screaming for the ball when he kicked over the full back - there was a 2 on 1 and but for a lucky bounce into his hands, it was a terrible decision to kick it.
As for Saturday against us, we had a good result against a very poor turnout from wakefield - it's too close to call for me if you have a few guys back

Dixon has a better chance of Olympic Gold in 2016 than a long and successful career in RL...IMHO that is.
