| Very gutsy performance from you guys today, reckon you'll surprise quite a few people this season.
Krasniqi looked a big lad, definitely one for the future.
Best of luck from a Wiganer

Do us on scoots from dummy half.
We handed them their trys and they got lucky. We controlled much of the game and a it was only our errors - and two/three decisions I couldn't work out. That gave them the lead.
Our shortcomings- tightening around the ruck- can be worked on- otherwise we matched or bettered them in plenty of areas.
And when was the last time we matched up size-wise with a top team?'"
That's what I watched. We had quite a few chances in the second half. Think the team will get alot better. Great day out.

| A very good end to end game, London gave us a tough game and with a few breaks could easily have won the game, Great atmosphere and very hospitable London fans i talked with, Good luck with your season

| Roby-Say no more he was the difference. What a player he is.
Thought Colborn was magic in the first half. Injured last play of the half by all accounts
Bryant ran well. Bailey and Rodney were tough
What was Dorn doing passing that ball under his sticks to Dixon. Take control of your own mistakes as a senior player hit the deck and lets start the six from there, not give some crazy pass to a young lad.
Plenty to be pleased about.

| Thought Rodney played really well. Am i right in thinking he played the whole match? I would think he took the most hit ups today.
Expected a bit more from Bryant.
Overall fitness was good.
But for the first game a great effort.

I was absolutely seething about that. Unforgiveable mistake from a player of his experience.
There were plenty of encouraging signs yesterday. I would rather we started slowly and built throughout the season rather than starting like a train and then collapsing like we did last year. The new signings all add something important to the side, the standouts for me were Kaufusi and Gower. Robertson blotted his copybook with that lazy bit of play letting the ball go through his legs leading to the try. Up until then he had also been good.
We looked very decent with ball in hand, if a little predictable (drive up the middle, again and again). Saints killed us from dummy half as has been said. I don't want to get too carried away - Warrington away will be hugely tough - but as I say, enough positive signs.

| Happy with that as a start to the season, although obviously would prefer a win I thought we might get smacked by Saints. I have been worried with so many new players that we would really struggle early on. Now I think its good that we start with Saints, Warrington and Hull as it gives us a good test straight up to identify what needs to be worked on. The combinations will come with time

Seasoned FB passing to a static winger making his debut. Odd. Figured it's a future positive that Dixon is such a flyer and hopefully will start to dominate opponents with his speed. But still v odd to expose someone like that on debut

| Great game and very enjoyable to watch. Saw a lot of the old supporters who have not been around for a while and hopefully the display on the pitch yesterday will bring them back. I thought the game was a lot closer, harder and more exciting than the scoreline would indicate. Roby, Lomax and Foster made the breaks for Saints and as for Broncos - they all committed to a great game and hopefully long may this continue. Excitement on the terraces and a great atmosphere, a committed team, I am sure this will all help to bring the oldies back and newbies in.

| I have absolutely no empathy with these so-called supporters who have decided to show their faces after five years away. Part timers.

| Agree with Roy Haggerty - Gower was superb yesterday and gave us ability we haven't seen in a good number of years. We look so dangerous when he's on the ball, and his kicks were spot on.
Very impressed with Coborn too but Bryant looked a bit static at times and was guilty of stupidly looking for an off-load at end of first half when we should have just played safe protecting our lead. Luckily his losing of the ball didn't cost us.

Correct, getting a bit sick and tired of this "It was great to see so and so who hasn't been to a match for 5 years". If these fickle supporters bothered to support the club during the Harlequins era, putting their own pathetic predjudices aside, professional Rugby League in the South might be in a far more secure position.

| All round a much better performance than last season, just wish we could have had one more real competitive friendly for all the new players to gel together and that may have made that difference yesterday. Really impressed with the pack, it has been a lightweight part of our game recent seasons. Parts of the media had doubts about Gower but he was superb just hope he can keep it up and really influence the side. Agree with everyone that we are a little weak in the centres at present, just trust we can improve as the season progresses.
If the weather had been better and not so much doubt about the game going ahead, not everyone has the net we may have attracted more than 5,000. I feel those who did attend will not be too disappointed and will come back again.
I'm glad to see Anyone back supporting the London Broncos whoever they are and however long since they last watched us, Warm Welcome Back! I will take anyone who is willing to support us as new supporters and returning supporters!
