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



A lot better performance, but still the same weak failings, which the coach has to take the blame for!

Just glad the season is over and done with, but we still have to hear or see anything which inspires us about the future.

Quote: alanw "PTB is right about the chances that Wire had compered to ours.

But our game was still the same old mistakes of givng away penalties in silly places, dropping the ball in good attacking postions. We do lose abit of go forward when Randall is spelled and just dont think Gale brings anything to the game as a hooker. We have a player at the club who postion that is and thats Kaye,so why not play him. (randall rates him)

but saying that, it did sound better, there was a fight back (not been seen in a while), Dorns kicking game near the line was good. O'Callagham played well and took his try and good to see another Londoner given a good and seem to have a good game and that was Williams.

Not going to have a moan about the Ref, but dont think Rammos co commentary was that impressed with him. you just to think what would have happened if no sin binning (odd one that tbh) and the try from the two knock ons,(blind linesman there too) what might have happend in this game.

Anyway i will be back next year with a season ticket for more. It was really great to see O'Callahan and Williams get a game. I would have loved to see May in there for this game and am really disappointed he wasn't if BM really sees that he has a future with us. This game had nothing riding on it and was the perfect opportunity to give the lad some vital experience. Was he injured anyone?

I'm happy for all those who went and had a good time. It must have been good to finally see the team have a real dig and never give in.

As for “poor decision making” and “shocking defence”, well it sounds like the same old story. What have they learnt from recent weeks?

Interesting question but why blame the coach for poor handling, decison making all points which are adressed during training. The real issue is that some of the players are not up to SL standard and no amount of coaching will fix this problem. For example players turning their back for a penalty is a fundamental skill drilled into young players. Yet we have a international player do just that today, turn their back and wire score.

It was an end of season jamboree in the sun not a true game of rugby league. Nothing resting on the game but a big crowd packed in to see Wire show of there challenge cup.

The positive I take from it (not withstanding we conceded 40 odd points) was that we put a few structured attacking moves together which we haven’t done for some months.

O’C played well particularly in defence and Dave Williams stood up to Morley etc without making any errors.

Thankfully that draws a poor second half of the season to an end.

I’m hearing the players are returning to training later than usual this year. I may be wrong but my understanding is there is a belief the second half capitulations of the last 3 years could be down to starting our programme to early- interesting

Yet prior to Bill Pedan`s arrival we had a reputation for being only a 60 minute side.........and usually fell apart/leaked tries in the last quarter.

This is a fundamental problem we have seen these last 2 months. As they say in soccer - if you don't shoot you don't score. We have stopped making high kicks into the corner and chancing our arm. No one has the bottle to play grubber kicks for players to run on to. No one keeps the defense guessing with chips over the defensive cover and running through like other teams. Its hardly surprising we are not threatening our oponents line as we are not asking any questions of the defense. icon_confused.gif

Exactly! We've just been dull and predictable game after game, Brian (or whoever's in charge next season) needs to either give the likes of Randall and Orr a bit more of a free reign or bring in someone with a bit of imagination!

just clearing something.
The sin binning
What the commentator failed to see.
The ref had a word with Quins captain twice about the constant holding down in the tackle.
Then only about 5 minutes later it happened again. Ref had no option to stop the offences. ref had a bad game for both teams, a lot of balls ripped out yet given as knock-ons ? Forward passes a plenty (pennys' 2nd try). Wire were lucky because Saints,Leeds or KR would have ripped us apart . Quins handling at times was shocking.
