| Quote daftdad="daftdad"It amazes me that some are drinking in the heady heights of beating a Widnes team who have struggled away all season, and we have the majority of the play yet have to rely on a last gasp effort to win. One wonders is this the last breath of the club before we die? Not a pretty sight but hey our season has now started. Off to the pub to celebrate and can't wait until the next match at Fartown.'"
For this team to dig itself out of the hole it has found it is in, it needs to celebrate each bit of good news, every scratchy win, so that a bit of confidence can return, and a formula for success can be found. You need to first find the light at the end of the tunnel, before you can get out of it.
To get off the bottom of the league, we need to be second bottom. Then we need to be third bottom, and so on. Bit by bit, a few steps forward.
If we can't even enjoy our wins, then my goodness me.

| Well done on getting the win chaps, but the 2 points in itself changes little. That was two very poor sides out on the park.
Honourable mentions go to Rinaldi, who had his best game of the season, and Bryant, who put a good shift in and broke the line a couple of times. Hicks made his usual retinue of baffling decisions. But we have so few ideas with ball in hand it is embarrassing, we play a hugely conservative and predictable style of rugby. It is not a surprise half decent sides can keep us down to one and two tries - they don't expect us to do anything expansive.

Totally agree. The current situation must be hard for the long time supporters but a team low in confidence are hardly likely to be playing flowing rugby . Even a desperate win like yesterday's is a small step on the long road to recovery.
Only my second game - first at the Stoop - and i thoroughly enjoyed it, except for the battery acid that is passed off as IPA at an eye watering price !

One thing Broncos have done this season is score tries - more than two in these games:
v Catalan 22 pts
v Skolars 42
v Sain Tellens 24
v Hull 14
v Giants 16
v Cas 42
v Pie Eaters 30
v Widnes 30
v Wakey 36
v Dragons 18
v Dewsbury 72
v HKR 16
v Bulls 22
v Giants 14
v Widnes 28
Defence, especially on the wings, have been a bigger issue.

| Thought both sides were pretty poor yesterday, but of course its good to see a win.
Pleased for Rinaldi I thought he played well. Was just waiting for him to be replaced by Chad
bearing in mind how well he was playing though thankfully he was kept on.
Re the clock stopping we were talking to a couple of Widnes fans on the way back to Waterloo
and they were convinced time was up before Antonio crashed over. Probably Bett`s view by the
sound of it.

| Quote Once again, that bloke with the no 7 on his back seemed to do everything.
'"
Missed a simple 1 on 1 for the first try and missed a 1 on 1 for the first try of the second half.
That said he was our best player, at least he went at them with the ball.

| The match was a poor spectacle but a win all the same.
The frustration for me was the wasted ball in there red zone. Knock ons at the play the balls etc
The other frustration was how we dont set up to attack and stack a side. The ball went to O'C on several occasions with 20 - 30 metres outside of him and we ran out of players.

| The first time we actually played it out wide (mid way through 2nd half) we ended up scoring
The only time (last ten mins of game) we had our 'main' props on the field we scored twice.
Even someone who has no idea about RL can see there are basic failings in the game plan

Everyone can see this but Mr Hughes, he can't really believe that we can't do better than Powell?
