| Dave, its a bit like the days when everyone was saying McDermott cant coach, he seems to have managed ok at his next job.
Sad to see Tony go, but I think most Broncos supporters agree that a change was needed! TR has been a stalwart for RL in London, but it was always said that it was a temporary post, and think right from the fans forum when he arrived Joe Grima was being given the hospital pass or taking over when Tony wanted to head home.
Has the question been asked, has anyone said, was it a case of being pushed or did he just decide himself it was time to go.

Given that he said he felt he could have gone on and kept the side up, I would guess the former.

Listen to the interviews. Seems he wanted to carry on at least till towards end of season.

| Hi Mr Lister I am obviously not a keyboard expert or I would not have typed the letters the wrong way round in Tony's name. What makes you think I know nothing about Tony or know nothing about coaching. Now put your fishing rod away and go and start a fight in an empty room there's a good boy.

But his team was presented to him, he's never signed a decent player, nooo.

| I will admit I wasn't convinced when he was offered a two year deal. However it is blindingly obvious that more than anyone, Tony was the man who is responsible for our continued existence.
It speaks volumes that he was the one who addressed the fans after the last game at the Stoop, while the owner and CEO were nowhere to be seen.
Good luck Tony.

| His later spells as coach were not great - but none should forget he got us to two play-offs, no-one lese has come close........................ He also, as others have said, cared about London and did everytjing he could to make it a success. If everyone else had put in the same effort, i exclude Nick Cartwright who also worked hard, we would be in a very different position.......................................................

| I agree Tony is a great bloke, if you cut him in half we would see London written through him, I repeat a great ambassador for the club, a great talent scout and above all a gentleman and I wish as fans we could have given him the send off he deserves akin to the one we gave Nic (yes Lister Nic is spelt correctly) . He got London out of the mire many a time, in my mind his coaching wasn't great but in every other field he was the consumate professional. Well done Tony.
