| Oh well, that’s it then.
Not quite good enough on the night, better side won.
Regroup, rebuild and fight our way back up from the Championship!

| Fair result,
wakey much quicker off the line in defence, Danny brough kicking much better than what we could come up with.
We looked tired for a lot of that, kick that first penalty reckon it would have been a different game, pressure got to dicko sadly, but that's rugby.
Overall last few games think Jordan's game was effected quite a bit by brock coming in, not sure he was right signing but hey.
Gutted for the blokes!

Lamb blew it, Morgan made the right call I think, their were 2 on the inside.
Eddie battye is having a blinder though'"
No I’m not joking!
Dixon is a real sprinter , so why not give it to him rather than take the inside route and WASTE the chance ?
You must have been watching a different game pal!

| Go have a look fella
Morgan had 3 wakey players behind him when he passed inside to lamb wakey no1 was actually between him and dixon on the blind side, there was no pass available to dixon
Lamb took the ball 20 mtr in from touch with walker on his shoulder no wakey player that side of pitch for some reason lamb stepped back out towards touch instead of heading for the sticks, it's about min 51 if you want to check

You’re a wind up artist, you do it all the time about referees- he held on to the ball for too long and then took the ball in the wrong direction, end of.
Now go and have a row with someone about a refereeing decision, I’m off for a few bevvies. I know you have to have the last word so go on, knock yourself out, I’ve got an appointment with a hangover in the morning.

| You obviously dont play the game.
Draw the full back in then pass, and if you have 2 players one side and one the other in open field only one side you go.
More ro the point did you see the reaction from alex walker who had no one within 10 mtrs of him and cut behind brock

1649_1338292262.jpg I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg |

How easy do you seriously think that will be? look at Leigh & Widnes, also remember how much more the payment will be reduced next season for relegated club, this was voted in by Championship Clubs?
How much longer will Mr Hughes keep dipping into his own pocket?
I still think like Hull KR & yes Wakefield Trinity we should have brought in more relevant players before the deadline, what a difference Escare made for Trinity, Leneghan could have done us a favour there!
We can't fault the likes of Kear, Morgan, Walker who gave everything, we did not look like the team from last week, did we empty our tank then, but all 4 clubs were in a similar position/
So many top clubs in Super League's fans this morning say how much we have brought to Super League, we are developing young players I would say as good as any of the Top Clubs if not better! The Amateur game is stronger in The South than many areas in The North.
All we can do now is wait and see what happens, we did see an increase in crowds, can we keep hold of them, though we will see fewer Championship fans travel perhaps.

TBF we didn't bring in players to improve the team as such, we needed bodies to replace what was probably a third of our salary cap sat on the bench. I won't bore you with the names but no team can withstand those losses, most of which have been season long.
Three were in last seasons dream team!!
As for London, you have done yourselves a huge service, I genuinely think that the game has now taken you as one of our own in a way they never have before, you can build on that.

| Not good enough last night sadly. One step too far. That said we fought well throughout the season but you end up where you deserve to be.

| Wakefield's forwards just kept rolling downfield all night long, giving Brough the time and space to kick us to death. Too big and too strong.
Broncos worked tirelessly, but in particular a mention for Battye who really ripped in. In truth, however, we never looked like winning. Morgan should have passed to Dixon, that much was clear to everyone in the ground, but to see that go begging and then Trinity to score almost immediately afterwards really killed us off.
Cracking turn out by the way, and in fine voice from first to last.

Batty was immense for you guys last night and I think he did the full 80, which is one hell of an effort for a prop, especially in a beaten side.
It was a great effort.
All of your side had a dig though but, I agree, that, this time our pack was on top from the first minute.
There is no pleasure taken from winning, other than SL survival and London have been a revelation this season.
In Ward, you have an excellent coach and hopefully you will be challenging for promotion next season.
Good luck !

| A most enjoyable season when I was expecting it to be difficult viewing. Totally exceeded expectations and probably the best team effort that I've seen from a London side. A lot of credit has to go to Danny Ward for building a squad of players who would give everything for the cause. It is a shame to see players leaving especially those who have come up through the London ranks. It will be tough again in the Championship but hopefully we can retain the fantastic team spirit that has served us so well over the last couple of years.

I think what you've done at least in my view is cement 'London' as a real team. I know there were a fair few Aussies and Northerners but they weren't superstars and a lot of your team were local or as local as London can get. It just felt like we were playing a team rather than a bunch of mercenaries. How you turn that to your advantage I'm not sure but I hope you do.

| Quote: Fishermanscap "How you turn that to your advantage I'm not sure but I hope you do.'" Ideally we would start hanging on to the better talent we produce. There is a pretty decent SL team of London trained talent. I guess the budget is limited so other teams can offer more. The big issue is sustainability of the club as we rely on a single benefactor. I don't buy into the idea that there is no audience for RL in London but you do have to sell the game.

And therein lies the problem. We appear to have neither the money or the inclination to do that.
