I was certainly depressed to be in attendance.

It was bloody cold too.

Don't envy Barnet fans having to freeze their nuts off in the winter months.

I sat in the East stand once. Well I say sat, I didn't get to appreciate the cushioned seats as I had to stay standing and move about to stay warm.

I'm sure those seats will be great in the summer but they are far to exposed in the winter. The sooner the sides are put on the West Stand and the North stand goes in to cut out some of the wind that blows through the ground the better.

Martyn Sadler - has he ever paid attention to london rugby league before?

Of course Rea won't get sacked. Hughes doesn't do sackings.

Some of the defence was laughable... all over the place. Cas just able to walk through the gaps and our defensive line was well, anything but a line!!

If TR wants to sort this mess out then he needs to just forget about passing skills and attacking plays (as we barely have the ball anyway) and just for the next 2 or 3 weeks constantly drill defence.

Maybe they need to bring someone in for a few weeks with experience - Shaun Edwards is twiddling his thumbs I'd assume??

Just have to get the mind set, communication and discipline of a defence in order. Once we have that and team can't just run through us and have 4 man overlaps.... and the opposition actually have to sweat to get points... then and only then should we focus on our attacking game.

Yes, we've had the shortest prep time out of all SL... but that should only affect our attacking game (when working on combinations etc). The defence should be the thing focused on and set ASAP.

Heck, I'd rather lose a game 12-0 than 54-6!

Shame nothing will come of it though... shame.

No chance of seeing Edwards, for one thing he and Rea don't like one another.

And we all know nothing is going to change, there's no chance of Hughes sacking his best mate.

Enjoyed my trip down seamed a nice stadium and was a lot fuller than it looked and noisy but I don't think the pitch suits you it was very fast and very small ideal for a big mobile pack like we got. But I after say I feel for London I looked in to a young players eyes and the poor kid was nearly crying your club should club should have not come to this it sad hope you have better days.

Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 - Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader. Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward. Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I? Update on Quins Mogs :- Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo. Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas. Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9. Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg

Shows how much MS knows about things down here.

When DH spent all that money 2 years ago on the useless bunch of ex-NRL Grand Finalists, he should have saved some money for a first class coach.

PS. Never give credence to a man that doesn't know how to spell the name Martin icon_smile.gif

I think Yorkshire Evening Post has got this about right. Not leaving 'till they lock the gates though!

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



Quote: Dan Stains woz God "Shows how much MS knows about things down here. '"


Shows how much perhaps you know about Martyn Sadler, along with Peter Smith of the Yorkshire Post are the only two Northern journalists who give us any support. In fact if Martyn wanted to he could say more about our club, but no he shows more respect than many do towards us and keeps his peace on one subject matter.

What respect does the club deserve exactly?

Basket cases would be insulted by comparison to Broncos.

Good piece and also agree that MS is wrongly perceived by some, he has always seemed supportive in my eyes

Had to stop reading League Express when they employed Garry Schofield. Don't think even he believes what he writes, his role is just to boost the letters page. Wasn't going got pay a subscription to read such boulacks every week though.
