Aren't we clearly unfit and need a new conditioner? I'm confused. How did we rally and score late in the game if true.

A thoroughly enjoyable match, even at half-time I never felt we were out of the contest. Admittedly at 28-4 it looked all over but we kept plugging away and got some deserved scores. Not seen any stats but I reckon the possession and territory would be pretty even, just didn't take our chances.

Farrer is yet to impress me but Drinkwater seems to be offering something in attack now. Duckworth looked average at best, hopefully he'll get better as he gets fitter.

But I honestly don't think we're too far off, if we get Dixon & Dollapi back it'll make a difference. A back 3 of Dixon, Solomona and Mataitonga would be exciting and Dollapi would be an improvement on Greenwood who is pretty decent in defence but doesn't run his weight when in possession.

And also, the Catalans replacement hooker Guasch(?) was the smallest SL player I've ever seen. 5 foot 4 maybe

Counting tickets sold as attendance is standard practice these days.

Arsenal declare 60,000 sell outs every week despite often being 10,000 shy of bums on seats.

& Saracens are notorious for creative accounting.

But lets not open that can of worms again.

You just did.

rooster! I don't think fitness was actually the issue yesterday, in fact as the game went on, that was when we scored.
As I mentioned before, the difference apart form Gauche and escargot!!(little morgan) the Catalan squad probably had at least 2 or 3 kilos on the London players if not more. It was down to the physicality of the Dragons that closed us down. That worked in our favour later in, the big fellas started to tire and we exploited.
That or they stopped trying depending on yr view!

No more than 200 there

Catalans had Big ears, Duraeu, Webb, Millard to name a few missing.

Its that bad Ive today cancelled my season tickets. Im done with them, enough is enough. I will see them in Manchester but wont be at the Hive again unless something drastic changes. That team wouldnt compete at the top of the championship it is utterly woeful.

Bloody hell????!!!!!!!????

There was a lot more than 200 there but I doubt there was 1000.

I assume all the Barnet Membership for both clubs has been counted regardless whether they turned up or not, it may be that only 200 were in the ground, yet 1002 was the declared figure.

I'd have said 800

That was my impression.

200?? Seriously ?
If so that means there were more at Stags v Skolars today!

There was 150-200 in the East stand and 400-500 in the west. At least 600 but no more than 800 imo.

Really enjoyed the game. For the first hour Broncos appeared to make life hard for themselves by being pushed of the pitch instead of going down, failing to get over the try line to prevent a drop out and not using all 6 tackles to get up the field. But the last 20 minutes were absolutely fantastic.

Special mention for the announcer had no clue what so ever and had clearly been drafted in from the footy. Overall a good nights entertainment with plenty of Barnet fans who had taken up the offer.

Bizarre thing on the way out was being surrounded by teenagers speaking german, god knows how they got drafted in.

Usual cr4p from the coach

London coach Tony Rea said: "You are never happy with a loss, but our fight to the death was impressive.

"I thought there was a lack of confidence at the start, and we made too many errors.

"But we are showing good progress which is obviously very important to us.

"We are a team and we will succeed if we stick together.

"As a team we are moving forward, we just need individuals to keep improving.

"But if we keep improving and progressing week by week we will definitely get where we want to be."

How poor was the number 5 last night. That bloke couldn't catch a cold. Thank christ he went of with a bad leg. It makes you wonder just how players like him and Atkins even get considered to play at this level when they dont have the basic natural ability to comfortably catch a ball. I wont even touch on No5's defence.
