On the plus side we weren't nilled.

Who says I don't do positive ...

Honestly fear for your lot this season because we didn't get out of second gear and didn't need to.

Not coming on here gloating (because I'm not 18 any more) but you've got a long season ahead of you and if a good team decides to go full steam they could hit 100. It looks like there are too many inexperienced kids out there and obviously I'm delighted by our progress but it just wasn't a test. I'm struggling to see one stand out player for you or even give you a silver lining past, there was no injuries and the discipline was fine.

We scored twice - just need to sort the defense out.

I pray the youngsters in our squad don't lose any spirt and put this behind them for a win against Salford next Saturday.

I don't suppose many on here are particularly suprised at the result - just hope that this isn't the shape of things to come. At least I had a happy afternoon at the Racecourse Ground, nice day and a good win.

we need experience, nous and muscle fast or we are dead in the water. it wasn't awful - we tried, we just were not remotely good enough!

Yep, most of us kind of expected it, we'll suffer some heavy defeats early on, even had we have managed to recruit better, with no prperation time we would still be looking at some tough times.

Its gonna be uphill all the bloody way, Rea has to find a way of not letting the younger players break so we can come good towards mid-season.

Where was Kieran Dixon? He would have been worth a couple of tries.

Nick Slyney will add some mongrel to the pack. But London needs more than just him to make the forwards effective. The team needs four tough forwards, plus the Albanian pair, if it is to compete.

Dixons out for months with a "bad" knee

Yep I been saying all along we need a veteran half-back and a couple of big old ugly props!

BUT, we WILL get there, we did get two tries, so it can't be all bad news.

To be fair Ray French said MCB has scored both!

I don't think that many of us went expecting a win, but I hoped for a little closer game. It was sad to see many of the young heads go down, though a few of them did raise their game. Could not understand the amount of time Moore was not on the pitch, it seemed clear he not injured.

Not the best advertisement for next Saturday, as everyone has said we need some experience on the pitch, the local media are giving us good coverage so far, if local people see the result, it will not encourage to come along, all the media and PR in the world will not bring them in to see us getting beaten! From what I hear Salford will not be a walk over and easy for us, we have got to lift out game a lot.

I know it is still early, but I would have been more happy if Tony R had moved upstairs as CEO, just my opinion, think many got carried away with the few wins he put together at the end of 2012!

Given the useless twonk officially in charge I imagine Rea is already de facto CEO.

London coach Tony Rea selected nine new faces, including prop Carl Forster - on loan from St Helens - having lost the bulk of last year's squad.

"I am happy to be on the start line but this is a big learning curve," Rea said.

"We clearly weren't ready, but need to move on from here.

"I will take a fair lump of the blame, but there has been a lot of chopping and changing.

"We will be adding to the squad, but these players can do better.

"Kevin Brown was outstanding for Widnes, and if he hadn't played it would have been a tight game. He was that big an influence.

"Our hookers were pretty strong, but our half-backs were outplayed.

"We have the potential and will be smarter than this in future."

Is that "bad" knee a "Koukash transfer request" knee?
