You only really have one threatening player in your back line

/playing as he does every week. why he has a job as a professional rugby league player i dont know

Another shambolic defensive display. Some decent play and a moment of magic (Dixon's try) yet again overshadowed by another heavy defeat, due to the fact we can't do the basics right, ie tackle, pass and catch!

Howell is useless.

The only players to put in good performances today were, Gower, Bailey(in parts), and Robertson.
Players we need to get rid of are O'Callaghan, who constantly gets found out whenever we play him, he clearly isn't good enough for SL. Probably not for the Championship either. We won't miss Sarginson much if he goes to Wigan, all game he had opportunities to pass to his winger, and the one time he shouldn't pass it, he does and Dixon gets put out. Howell had an awful game, just looked clueless at times.

I'm fed up of watching our team play like that, Catalans weren't that good in the second half, we just kept giving the ball back to them, time after time after time, and I'm sick of it. It is frustrating.

Hopefully these other games will provide some excitement to a dire start to the day. And that Wakefield and Castleford have a few fights so Castleford won't be at full strength for next week, as I have no confidence at all.

Somebody should tell Tony Rea.

No other options

London Broncos coach Tony Rea told BBC Sport:

"I've seen enough good things that will stand us in good stead.

"But I think we're just lacking a bit of confidence, one of those intangibles in sport.

"We're short of belief and, as a group, we've got to believe in ourselves and each other.

"I've got a feeling good form is just around the corner."

is he on crack or something?

The way our players just give the ball away by running towards the line like JOC and usually Dixon as well is unforgiveable. RL is a territorial game where posesion is critical and more than often wins the game. To be as casual with it is ridiculous. JOC has been doing this for long enough and after Dixons howlers last season and this someone should have a word with him. Again Sargy showed his lack of understanding of the situation running towards Dixon who was on the line with nowhere to go and pasing to him for to be pushed into touch with ease.

With the end of the current series of Doctor Who last week I thought that I wouldn't have to hide behind the settee for a while. Wrong again.

Just back from Twickenham Stadium watching the yawnion premiership final rammed with 82,000 (a bl**dy good game, a sending off, 7 tries & only 5 pen cons thankfully) put on the recorded London v Cats game to see there are about 300 in the crowd. Depressing.

1. Rea should have signed a right centre for 2013 instead of 2 hookers. As should Powell for 2012 for that matter.
2. Howell was/is a left centre who is like a fish out of water on the right.
3. Sarginson was/could again be a decent left centre with ball in hand just so long as you don't defend him at left centre. How many times does Steve Menzies have to prove this point?
4. I'd like to see if Lovell and McMeeken could do a better job - perhaps not but I can't see either of them defending worse than Sarginson.

Even with the same personnel, there are many options in terms of rearranging the defence. Rea continues to follow Powell's failed formulas to the letter - even to the extent that he chucked JOC back into the centres late in the game for yet another last hurrah!

I don't mind the defeats, just the complete lack of problem-solving displayed by someone who knows his rugby league. Rea is a good coach with a good track record but he's currently busy writing off the 2013 season.

Something else I don't understand.

Rea finished 2012 with Dorn and Gower at 6 and 7, scoring plenty of points, winning games.

Dorn obviously did something wrong pre-season because he's now nowhere to be seen and Witt is unmovable. Did Witt miss touch with another penalty yesterday? Someone did but the cameras were slow in following play.

I don't remember it but that's not to say it didn't happen. I thought Witt had a stinker - his passing was way off yesterday.

Same old Broncos: patches of positivity but mostly useless. We can't tackle. We can't keep hold of the ball. A lot of our players simply look like they've lost the ability to read the game, particularly without ball in hand. Everyone on sky / twitter was creaming themselves over Dureau but what did he actually have to do? Most of their tries and territory we gifted to them on the back of our own mistakes. As is always the case.

Too often, with ball in hand, we have no second phase, no plan B other than give it to Gower or Dixon and hope for the best. Everyone else feels like a passenger.

Absolute dross - to me that was worse than Wigan.
