Not sure how this match will go. Widnes have been poor for some time but then again they didn’t pull up trees at our gaff and won at a canter. In fairness I think our side is better now. With that in mind Rams have kindly put the whole of our game with them on YouTube. From what I could see Parata put in his usual consistently high performance, Bienek tends to drift in and out of games but when he’s on he’s one of the best on the pitch. I thought the new Aussie played well and Davis gave us intent going forward especially when he was first introduced. The revelation was Macani who ran with a menace and purpose I haven’t seen from him before. As for our kicking game generally and from the tee I think there is loads of work to do. For all those who thought Dan Coates final effort against Widnes couldn’t be beaten our first attempt in this game is a little special. Onwards and upwards.

London lead 22-10 at HT. Bongser will not kibosh things by crowing just yet. COYL.

Kiboshed anyway. 22 each.

Not sure we came out at half time.

Losing 26-22 for those who aren't there. Or aren't listening. Not long to go,

Defeat from the jaws of victory. Annoying.

could have almost been safe, now still right in the mire

Whoops!

On paper we now have a pretty decent side and the bench looks strong to me but it’s never good to throw away a win. At least we have a shot at staying up but difficult not to feel a rethink is necessary for next season as this season has been a shambles. Hopefully we’ve learnt some of the things that don’t work.

The sort of situation where having a good coach would likely make all the difference, despite the good job Eccles is doing.

A whole series of nasty tweets from Jimmy (@ChanceYourArm4) against the Mike Eccles interview this evening.



Clearly someone with an axe to grind. Perhaps a disgruntled former employee ?

Classy!

The old adage drink until you’re not enjoying it anymore could probably be updated to read drink until you start making a tool of yourself online. Hope this is just some random punter rather than ex employee but i confess I did wonder myself. In the days before the internet you could have a ‘bad pint’ and get away with it now it’s a xxxx shower.

Tend to agree.I’m like the way he seems to be going about his business but team seemed to step down a gear for the majority of second half or ran out of gas. Either way you’d like to think with the interchanges we had we should have had enough to get over the line.

Apologies I didn’t read down to the end of the extract. Oh well. My prediction Orange will have something to say about this!

There's nothing to say really. Whomever this person is, they've done more than enough to expose themselves as a weasle. As for their identity, I can only say that I only know of one ex staff member who felt the need to get into a social media spat in the early hours whilst obviously worse for wear on drink.....

As for the game? Hard to read. Widnes have been poor of late.....Next week will tell us more about how far we're moving under this temporary coaching set up

There is no doubt who it is. I assume the club will be looking for a new kit supplier next season if they haven't already got one lined up.

Let's face it. On a scale of 1-10, a kit supplier is the least of the clubs issues when it comes to arranging stuff for 2023.

Personally, a coach inside the next month, giving him enough time to build a squad on whatever budget Hughes has allocated for 2023 has to be the #1 priority, followed by a structured and controllable strategy for getting more people to games and then having the resources available to give them a match day experience.

A Kit supplier is easy........google, email asking for a quote, choose one....and resist the temptation to then employ the sales clerk into a position they are not qualified for.

Yep, kit suppliers are two a penny but you can't have one who is calling your coach a c*nt.

Odds on new kit supplier before new coach. @thebroncosway

Yup. Extended Happy Hour at Wetherspoons strikes again. Bit of a shame.Best defence I can think of - Shaggy “it wasn’t me”.

He's protected his tweets now so at least the world is a slightly better place

But we could be missing an ‘on reflection the 1st team shirt does look like a Wire one’. Oh the irony.

Do you think this should be one of the job interview questions for LB employees? What most accurately describes the coach. (A) snake (B) rat (C) cxxt? Hours of fun.
