| Whoever starts we need to hit Rochdale hard from the word go - there's no 5 hour coach journey for us in the morning so no excuses!

| It is an extra early start for Rochdale too,what with the hour change. Unless they are travelling down today that is.

Looking at thier twitter fed, it looks like they must have come down last night. As it showed a pic of the pic in a room with the caption of just going over details before making our way to the ground, it was taken about 2 hours ago roughly.
I expect most teams able to down here the night before as it's only one trip a season, compared to us going up where other week and paying for hotels.
As for the team for today's game. Cunno starts at hooker, but the surprise was Api and Barthau in the halves and Sammut of the bench. Also saw that Harrison was starting on the beach also
Sorry an update, according to thier twitter Harrison now starts and Adebiyi added to the bench as Garside pulled out, so must have picked up a knock in warm up.

| Seems a typically poor performance to date... 0-4 after 25mins
UPDATE: Make that 0-8..... Awful

| Missed this game, seems like it was an arm wrestle for the first hr
What changed it? Looks like us and KR made hard work of it today at the start.
Any outstanding performance today? How come we started so slow again.
Positives negatives?

| Poster on A.N. Other forum suggested that Rochdale had a, um, somewhat direct approach to the game. Who cares - it's 2 points.

| Sort of brings into perspective the whole sammut discussion, or did he still not do enough to keep folk satisfied

Sammut will always be 'mercurial ', starting him from the bench seems to have had a positive effect

| Rochdales game plan seemed to be to rough our players up at any opportunity. How many times did the game turn into a brawl. Encouraged by their coach I might add.
The referee was weak and failed to impose himself on the game. I do not think that I have ever seen a game with so many high tackles, three occurred within five minutes in the second half, my belief is that he should have put Rochdale on a team warning earlier in the game, which may have focus their attention to playing, not trying to knock our blocks off.
Sammuts introduction turned the game, we probably would have won without him, but not by such a score. A score which in truth did not reflect the game.
We are still our worst enemy, numerous unforced and schoolboy errors, we bombed two tries in the first half, dropping the ball, To kick the ball out from the restart is unforgivable. Once Jarrod came on the speed of the play of the ball improved and we became a better team.
We still have a lot of room for improvement, off to Wakefield next week where I hope to see a better display.

| I really think we seem to have big confidence issues atm, several times in the first half they always wanted to pass again and again when close to line, and non of them seem to back themselves to actually score. If Rochdale had not tired in the 2nd half it could have been much closer.
I still think that if Rochdale had not bombed that try in the 2nd half just after we went 8 points up, we could have easily lost this game. At least we still manage to win after playing so shockingly bad. But with Sheffield, Fev away and Toulose home coming up we need to improve and fast

| This a poor London team. It strikes me they have concentrated heavily on defence during the off season as the attack is shocking. There is an inability to string 4 passes together that sit in front of the player for him to run onto. There's no structure in attack, constantly looking for the inside pass to settle things back down.
On a previous post I asked how many halves this season we have played well. Its probably only 5. HKR x 2, Bulls x 2, Rochdale x 1
Reliance on one individual will win you nothing

| Have to agree with that. From what I have seen this season the blunt truth is Broncos ain't good enough this season. Hopefully it'll click but I fear we have a team that doesn't amount to the sum of its constituent parts.
