2nd Week in a row on the Telly and this time, 2 performances will be under scrutiny.

On the pitch, we haven't lost to Castleford as the London Broncos v.2, having 3 wins and a draw to show for the last 2 years. Castleford are a revelation this year and it was only a Chase inspired Salford Devils that stopped them in their tracks on Sunday. London seem to lack "strength" in the contact area (as described by Wells and Carney) and I think the Castleford forwards will have too much for us.


Off the pitch, Castleford have travelled south in SL 17 times, with the highest being the Jungle.com sponsored jolly in Y2K when 8,067 saw us lose by the odd try, the lowest being 1,810 at last years draw and the average being 3,208.

If my contact at Red Hall is correct, this will be the last game attended by our current CEO, who no doubt would like to leave us on a high, but I suspect what we will actually get is a heavy defeat and the lowest ever SL crowd in the capital with no use for a comma or more than 3 digits when announcing it.


Castleford by 33, crowd 746.

I think it will be a lot closer.

Daryl Clark is my worry.

He will kill any laziness shown by Moore and Slyney through the middle. Keep Clark to 130m and London win the game IMO.

I expect to see Carney trample over JOC all day and score many points.....another bad day at the office I fear.

TR will announce after the thrashing that all is well and this is all part of his continuing master plan to `mould` the players. We will therefore be competitive around round 23.

To borrow a Rob Powell phrase we will hit our straps in 2015. That's when the next win will be I'm afraid.

I think Carney will be sitting this one out after something that got put on report yesterday.

I have a feeling that you will pick up your first win this week. We've looked really tired the last two weeks since the Wigan result, and with such a short turn around I can't imagine energy levels being up to the standard. You're probably due a good showing, and given our previous record against you in recent years, you can see why I'm pessimistic!

Hopefully you'll get your season on track soon, just next week, preferably

What, again! Hope you're right though. The thought of him running at O'C fills me with dread.
Did you see our defence against Leeds?

The RLWC inspired marketing has kicked in for this one with an email offering a 2 for 1 deal on this match having been received. Behind Hemel and Skolars but here nonetheless. Could that tip the crowd over the anticipated level?

Doubtful. Thursday night in Barnet for £11.50 isn't Saturday afternoon at wembley for £10.

I'm gonna say we'll win - 2 days extra to prepare will hopefully make the difference.

As poor as London have been so far this season, there is still time for you to turn things round. I'm a bit jittery about this as it could be a banana skin for Cas.

Will be watching it avidly on Sky down the local! Here's hoping for a good game, whatever the outcome.

Not that it matters much, but the cream of the RFL referees circus will be in attendance. Do we get to count them as part of the attendance?
