| We lose one player and suddenly the club is doomed!!
He's a selfish house. Not the best player we've had at London by a long stretch. Competitive, determined etc but nothing special- Rangi showed him how to play in the halves at the weekend. A real go to player(yes I know they are 6 and 7)

| Take the forward pass out of Chase's game and all he does is a drop off inside.

bit strong. He sets himself a high standard and the other players simply have not matched it. He puts his body on the line every game. If I was him, I'd be looking around and wondering why I'm bothering as well.
He strikes me as a greater loss than Sarginson, who to me just hasn't kicked on since he first burst on the scene.

Nope....but it sends a clear message to any potential signings for 2014 (if there is a 2014) with regards to the coach and his training/tactics. Even clubs down with us like Salford have the cheque book out already, so as usual, we will pick up "fringe" players if we are lucky.....if not, we will have the same squad next year and will be lucky to get a win.
If he had been stealing a wage like others at the club, then it wouldn't be so bad, but he has consistantly been described here and in match reports as a stand out player.
As for the Championship or below.....I doubt the Skolars would have made the progress they have over recent years if it weren't for a London SL side. An academy set up without a SL club would simply become a feeding ground for Union scouts. If we fold, the RL will retreat to the north........and with each passing week, less and less people will care.

| Really sorry to see Craig leaving the club & wish him all the best.
Should be interesting on Saturday.
Wonder what the odds are on Warrington reaching 100 points ?

I would never wish that on any team, but if it were to happen, I suspect Gillingham would be off the agenda for a new home.
I would hope that TR is working on nothing other than defence, defence, defence. If Wire get a sniff, they will hammer us, but the longer we can frustrate them the better. They will be focused, but not as focused as if they were playing a top team, so if we can hold them for 20 minutes or so, then we are in with a chance of still being in the game by half time.
Thereafter......it's down to Clubb to keep the team focused and fitness. The team should expect to make twice the number of tackles they did last weekend.
All I'd say to TR is don't pich anyone who is not 100% fit...

| I like Tony Clubb but the statement that 'it's down to Clubb to keep the team focused' really concerns me. Warrington will absolutely murder us this Saturday. Thank goodness I have planned my summer holiday to intentionally avoid this fixture

| why do you seem to think he was sacked as captain?
He probably decided he'd had enough and told the club as much, so the captaincy was up for changing.
Best to do it that way then announce that he is going!
Then again nothing has been confirmed yet!
TBH I would not be surprised tho, lots of us had high hopes for this season, and what has happened?
CG was probably thinking yeah might be ok young squad enthusiastic etc etc etc
He ended up being the only one that actually seemed to have any clue what was going on around the park, and because of that opposition then batter him, at least beaver over at dragons has some decent support play around him.
Surprised he has stayed around so long to be honest, thought maybe Luke Dorn might have gone elsewhere with all the slagging off he gets from the fans on here.
More worrying are the alleged comments re training! would explain a lot, if the training regime is poor then how can we compete on the park!!
so who can we get as a replacement? knowing our lot of going for experience through age they would probably try to get Billy Boston to put some boots on again

The company line....."for personal reasons."

Doubt we'll ever know for sure as to why he's gone, but I'd love to know what's changed in the last 7 months to make him change his mind about us.

| BTW.....his players registration?
Do we hold it?
rlhttps://www.londonbroncosrl.com/news/4678.phprl
If he pulls on an NRL shirt before the start of the 2015 season and we haven't received a transfer fee, then it yet again shows that the club lack the business sense to stand toe to toe with the other 29 professional RL clubs on the planet!

This was said of Crusaders but in reality, it has made no difference to the game's popularity or its geographical spread.
I would imagine that a continuing SL academy side would have a relationship with an actual SL side as I believe Whitehaven do. The best London lads will go north but they do anyway but there will be enough good 'uns left to make a very decent semi-pro side with the chance to build and dream.

Have you never changed jobs because you weren't happy?

| Again let's just wait and see if we get money. For the player to get his rego, we will. Will the club announce such a thing. No. You won't get to hear about it. It's none of our business.
