There is currently nothing on any mainstream media about a newly created Head Coach position vacant at London Broncos.

and its now 10.40 on Monday. No excuses

I wonder who could take over until the weekend at such short notice? Is Howell the U20 coach up to it? We're not going to get an Aussie coach overnight and really need to avoid any mistakes.

What?

Just a case of wishful thinking by the looks of it

This weeks bandwagon is sack Powell - looks like they are first to jump on it

Might not hear anything until tomorrow (if there's anything to hear) - Powell would have to be told, plus the players and an emergency replacement found (stop hiding in the bogs, that man!) for the weekend. What's REALLY puzzling me is that it would appear the David Hughes doesn't want the club to succeed, surely he must be aware of the shambles we've become and yet nothing concrete ever seems to happen to change things.

Maybe DH is reluctant to part with any more cash in paying off RP!

To be fair DH has put his hand in his pocket big time this time round to sign some quality players so he DOES want the club to suceed which so he has acted!. Unfortunately in sport you are not in charge of all the variables. If RP goes and the new man can't get them to play then i don't know where we go to.

He wouldn't have to pay him off were he to move him bk to a role many believe him to better suited to, as an asst coach. Then you'd only have to find a head coaches wage and that would only cost around 2 days of Wayne Rooneys salary and would cover the best head coaches salary in RL for a year.

Given it's now well into Monday pm, I expect Powell to be in charge on Saturday.

I really hope he is tough this week and leaves out some of the underachievers and continues to bring in young Londoners. Out of the 17 go Howell, O'Callaghan and Witt (and with them a quarter of our missed tackles so far). Randall left out or benched. Let's see much more of Caro, Dixon, Sarginson, Thomas and Krasniqi. Hopefully, we can have Clubb back on board too.

This week offers RP a massive opportunity to (a) show he us can read the game and (b) show his squad he has some presence. I remain most pessimistic about (b).

I am surprised RP wasn't sacked in the changing room after the game on Friday and made to pay his own fare home after that shambles.....quite possibly along with some of the playing squad

So if it hasn't happend by now, I doubt it's going to happen at all

The players have decided they aren't going to play for him. Don't know what choice DH has.

He has to be seen to be proactive, at least to try and protect his investment in the club. To that end RP has to be replaced, by whom is another matter entirely - it needs to be done before its too late to salvage the season - and it's possibly already past that point.....

Bit harsh, first four games were always going to be difficult. Salford is one that should have been won if the team are aiming for the top 8. Castleford is a no-brainer. Lose the Cas game then that is a season breaker since the mighty Wigan are up next.

Powell does need someone more experienced over his head...Powell is more suited to assistant I think.

Our team have done nothing since Powell has been in post (both as assistant and head coach). He was supporting McDermott....who also did nothing with us, however at Leeds he seems to have built a very strong outfit - possibly more to do with the squad already there.

I'm not one for kicking Powell totally out - but I'm not sure how long he can remain in sole charge of the squad and selection etc......he offers something to the team...he just needs someone with experience to guide him for the remainder of the season at least - can then evaluate things in the next off season (I know we've only just begun 2012!)

How long is his contract with us for at present?

If I hear him mention "we're improving" I'll go mad.....we're not the only team improving each week....that needs to be told to him ASAP. The excuse will not wash.

I still think a heart to heart team meeting and some uncomfortable truths need to come out this week in order to move forward....the team, management and supporters need to all be giving 100% effort and more than anything, the team need to be willing to put their bodies fully on the line for the club and eachother.

We can't have flappy defence....at SL level it just isn't good enough.
