Yes, how did you feel the boys went on the paddock ?

Better than I expected.......but they just don't have enough talent/experience for SL. Wire sounded sloppy in the first half but the clicked in the second and we were overrun.

In crowd terms perhaps but today was infinitely preferable to the bum raping in Gillingham.

Hopefully some of the Barnet fans will be back.

Depends if they are charged or not.

1st half brilliant a shame about Wires 2nd & 3rd tries. 2nd half appalling; and Atkins last minute intercept pass summed it up.

That's about the size of it really although we didn't look half bad in the 1st, Tony Smith must have put a rocket up his lads at half time as they were like a different side. We had very little in the way of chances after the break and blew the few we had. Was impressed with Wire's determination not to concede in the 2nd half despite the game being well and truly won. At least there was some effort being showed by the Broncos - a big plus after last season!

& several seasons before that even.

It looked like a fitness issue tbh, first half very good just nothing in the tank 2nd half.

It was similar to the 19's game in which got the first 25 they looked very strong but then just dropped off.

My first visit to The Hive today, and I enjoyed the experience, although the sunshine helped!

Nice compact ground, which I think could generate a good atmosphere with 3-3,500 in there.

As for the performance, it was nice to be up at half time, even with the knowledge that Wire would come good in the 2nd half. Can't fault the effort.

Back on Saturday!

Didn't anyone had a big game for us

Maybe games against the top teams away from home anyway we should rest a few plyers if we can't play 80 mts?

Krasniqi, Cooke and Bishay went very well

The No 3 (Atkins) is useless.

Wire attacked our left side repeatedly exposing the young lads. Bridge had a field day.

Enjoyed the Hive, good atmosphere in the main stand for only 1300 people.

As for the match it was far better than I expected when walking in, particularly when Drinkwater pulled out.

Krasniqi & Cook were superb and the two Leeds lads impressed me too. Wire's 2 tries at the start of the 2nd half were far too easy, that Ormsby must have beat 7 men to score.

I don't understand why we didn't put more high kicks to their blonde winger, he had one and dropped it then had nothing to do all game other than score three walk ins - I hate wingers who are bad but score alot due to their team.

Solomona looked okay on debut, far bigger than I expected

Absolutely no surprise that the team could only compete for 35 mins. Once a few interchanges were required, we had no big men to rotate. A dreadful bench, managed even more dreadfully. We ended as an absolute rabble.

Good points: Moore and Cunningham are very clever players; MCB is a talent; Solomona looked the part.

Bad points: Some exhausted forwards, esp. McMeeken who is completely out of gas; Farrar's distribution - hopefully it'll pick up!; the lack of threat from the likes of Minns, Atkins, JOC.

Several hundred more away fans there today than vs Salford and a bigger noise from the home fans. Very surprised at just 1377.

So is fitness the issue, rather than quality? Last years team were pathetically unfit, even for Aussie pensioners, so has anything changed?
