All in all hopefully should make for a good contest tomorrow.'"
All too right Micky sometimes we all expect too much, it should be a good encounter that will be quite close, I just wish I could have been there.
And roll on 10 days time for the league, hope to meet some of you folks there in 10 days. |

why will I be disappointed? I'm disappointed I can't make the game, but that's it.
This is a comp we can't win, we will lose money on unless we beat London this round, win in the next round and the get a good tie against one of the big boys. So I'm more than happy to lose against London, in fact I have stated elsewhere I'd like to get bet and concentrate on the league.
As far as I'm concerned this is a win/win situation, if we win it is a marker for the league game in 9 days and if we lose it gives us the opportunity to concentrate on the league.
What I find interesting is the belief in some of the Broncos fans that London are going to rip up the league after winning 5 of their opening 6 games. I think Henderson has been very astute with his signings this year, having picked up quality championship players rather than signing world beaters, which I think is the right thing for this league. However I think London are still well behind Leigh an Bradford as are the rest in this league. I believe there is very little between Batley/Fax/Dewsbury/Sheffield/London/Fev for 3rd and 4th places in the league, Batley are in the box seat having taken points of Leigh and Bradford.
I'm am happy for you if you think London are going to find it easy against Fev however I think that you might find the reality something different, I'll be back to see what you think tomorrow win or lose. Also if you fancy meeting up for a beer before the game the game in 9 days time to chew the fat as it were feel free to PM me, more than happy to talk all things R related.

Fevgrinder, mate trust me I don't think any of us really think we are going to rip up the league, I think a lot of us, OK a few of us, as there aren't actually a lot of us, but yep a few of us are hoping that we can have a decent season after the disappointment of last year.
We have not hit the straps yet, the team has a lot more in it, if we see it that's the challenge. As a full time outfit, in theory we should be ripping up the league, but we did get a lesson in Rugby when it was assumed because we were SL championship would be easy.
I am same mind as you though, not overly worried about the CC the league is where we need to concentrate our efforts but winning is habit so

We were well off SL standard when we were in that competition so anyone who thought we were going to suddenly go well in the championship was deluded. |

Doesn't sound like we were turning up for the Fev game this week.

Wow. That was totally unexpected. I assumed you'd walk that one.
Wish I could have been there to witness it.

Too many penalties.
Fev came out in the second half on fire, we let them get momentum and could not keep up with the pace.
Lost ball from kick off unforgivable, bloody good 40/20 from Fev kept us in our own half.
Oh well it's the CC don't think either team that concerned about it.
Proof will be in how we handle them on easter Monday hopefully with the rested players back in.

No but lots of the usual mistakes repeated again. Slow start to second half, failing to take the kick off after we've scored (almost normal now). Admittedly missed this one but too many common highlights by the sounds of it.

First half = 6/10
Second half = 1/10
Massive room for improvement overall. Or maybe we just suffered from floodlight fever.

Well f**k my hat, I didn't know that!
Come all without, come all within, we're London Broncos not the H********s!:16679.jpg |

Real game of two halves, only one team in it in the first, Broncos dreadful in the 2nd got steamrollered by Fev. Real shame, always enjoy / prefer games under the lights, only plus is it didn't cost us our top of the table position. Rested players will be back for the Easter games, we'll need them
