Never so many, but I can guarantee that whenever the scoring is so lopsided in favour of one end, I'm always sat at the other end, as I was today. ![]() |

A remarkable second half. Typically modest, when asked, Tony Rea played down any role he had in that turn-around but whatever he said must have worked. I don't think I've ever seen us so dominant in a half of rugby before. Salford made maybe two excursions with the ball into our half? Unreal.
It was a bit surreal afterwards, chatting with a few regulars, as none of us had quite taken in what we'd seen! It shows, to an extent, what this group of players is capable of. The first half, though, also shows the other extreme. Our tackling and error count were unacceptable - How many times did we knock on from the short ball?
Thought Dixon and Dorn were exceptional. An incredible afternoon....

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

Might be that he was having trouble adjusting to the pace of the game - enjoyable as lower division rugby is (go watch the Skolars if you don't believe me) it's a LOT slower that SL. |

Biggest SL 2nd half comeback ever !
Beating Warrington's 0-21 v Wakefield some years ago. Well done Bronco's.
Poor Salford, seriously though they are so unpredictable aren't they.
After the way you lot performed at catalans, was amazed at the h/t score yesterday.....and even more so by the 34-0 2nd half.

first of all i have the greatest respect for everyone at London Broncos
im always happy to give Credit and the broncos get top marks for their 2nd half, if you want to draw a similar analogy between Salfords 2nd half and the broncos first 40 then that would be pretty close to the mark and im sure on the 2nd half the reds would have struggled with the top champ sides
strange old game. dont recall seeing a game where 62 consecutive points have been scored all at one end of the park but spread across 70 mins'"
Respect that you are willing to accept in the second half performance, Salford were as bad as London were in the first! Thanks John |

I didn't spot any with sponsors logos on though and came away empty handed again. Is the 20% or is it 25% off special voucher still valid from the ST books? |

| It was a crazy game yesterday.
Salford should have been out of sight at half time with a 30 point lead. They were not dominant in the forwards at any point in the game but their great centres and wingers absolutely tore us to shreds whenever they got the ball and scored off pretty much every attack. Only poor kicking kept the margin down.
In the second half the Salford forwards seemed very tired early in the second half and simply played 'one up' Rugby with almost no circulation of the ball. That didn't work.
I think their supporters who wanted to break through on the half way line got closer to our try line than their team did in the second forty.
It seemed that their supporters wanted to be deliberately belligerent by invading the home end when they would have had their run of the almost empty stand opposite.
They seemed to start off by arguing amongst themselves, then the home fans, then with their coaching staff and finally with their own players. This provocative behaviour extended to the corporate sections as well as at the front of the stands with some very rotund ladies being particularly aggressive.
They certainly caught an ear full back from the home supporters and I think it created a cracking atmosphere with no real harm done though I dare say the library/theatre brigade might not have enjoyed the company of these partizan supporters.
I thought the second half reminded me of Any Given Sunday.
We fought like lions for the ball and I was very proud.
Cheers
Rammo
PS Here is the section I'm referring too  |

Wish they would update the website club shop with items, it is saying polo shirts out of stock and only showing the light blue strip?
Just trust we will always put Rugby League on the logo, again yesterday out shopping someone asked was it a basketball team.

Surely that's an oppotunity to explain a bit about the club that you might not otherwise have had. When I was in the US earlier this year I lost count of the number of people who asked about the logo becuase it was one they had not seen before (including the guys checking my passport both in and out !!). |

Of course you can always look at it that way no doubt, but I'm Proud to state to everyone who looks at it and may not ask that it is a Rugby League Club in the Capital of the UK London.  |

Fantastic comeback. That's going to be one of those games everyone remembers for years to come, like the 36-36 draw with Leeds in 2004.
It was amazing how Salford fell to pieces after looking fairly efficient for the first half. I know they were struggling for decent half backs, so perhaps they didn't have anyone capable of wresting back the momentum once we got on top, but they seemed to cause us all sorts of defensive problems with their passing and movement in wide areas in the first half.
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in our dressing room at half time. I thought Rinaldi was outstanding in the second half. He seems to have that knack of adding a new dimension to our attacking play by coming off the bench and not really playing in an orthodox single position, a bit like Stanley Gene often used to when playing against us for various clubs. That was only my third game of the season, but Dixon looks a tremendous prospect while Gower is clearly a class act, although in the other games I saw (against Widnes and Leeds) I thought we seemed far too reliant on him to orchestrate our attacking play.
I wasn't going to come back this year after the Leeds debacle, but the change of coach persuaded me to make the effort. For the first half we looked like we were carrying on where we left off in that match, but it was well worth it in the end. The way the players' improved performance began to lift the crowd was superb. It was all much more enjoyable and exciting than a comfortable sixty point win!
Wasn't that ref the touch judge from the Castleford game a couple of years back, who signalled an absurd try against us when their player (Ferres?) dropped the ball as Clubb(?) appeared from nowhere to shunt him into touch?
And as for the record 22 points turnaround - maybe my memory is playing tricks but I'm sure we blew a 22-0 lead against Bradford at Griffin Park in 2005. I found a stats page for that game but it doesn't give the scoring sequence so I can't be certain:
