To the continued detriment of super league and its eventual demise, but this is what some want. Beaumont figuring large with his recent error-strewn "statement" and his re-drawn map of London where Wimbledon, Broncos aren't based there, so neither Tooting nor Earlsfield forms part of the capital. You're not supposed to say that part out loud, Degsy.
There will eventually be a breakaway group, as this cannot continue. To not want/defer bringing the NRL on board in light of what they have achieved in raising the profile of rugby league in Australia, makes no sense to many over here, but that's why the game is literally withering on the vine in the UK. They aren't perfect (NRL) but with their proven business acumen, they are the best option we have to resurrect the UK game both on and off the pitch.
Just read that the RFL requested unlimited funding as part of the deal!! Absolute muppets. [Post edited 26 Oct 12:48]

Bloody hell.
That scuppers our chances of remaining in the upper reaches of the league table.
What a downer. |

Totally agree.
We've also barely travelled during the course of those three games, as well as having an extra day within which we completed those matches, and playing dire Derby too.
That's in stark contrast to newly-promoted Bolton, who had successive away games at Wolves and Southampton and it didn't seem to affect their performances in either of those two difficult games.
Too much whinging from us, for mine, on this particular matter. [Post edited 19 Oct 15:30]

Agree with you completely about Canberra's Matt Nicholson being a better option than Watkins. I would have included Nicholson in the initial squad. He came back pretty well from his injury for Canberra at the back end of the season and is better suited to the quality of opposition that we will face later on today.
How the Dolphins have released K Nikorima for the incoming G Williams is beyond me. That was the perfect halves' combination for the Dolphins. Can't see the Williams/Katoa combination being as inventive, and Katoa for me is 2nd to Cleary. To think it could have been him and Cleary (hope he recovers well to again scale the crazy heights that he has set) at Penrith!
Fear today's game could get ugly by way of scoreline. Well done PNG and the London Broncos' players: Morea Morea, Voro, Kapinias & Glare. |

It would appear that the BBC sports online article that appeared as "breaking news" a few hours ago, has now been taken down. I have checked a few of the rugby league websites and there's no mention of it at all. So we still await an official announcement.
What's most baffling for me is how London's IMG (yes, I know) grading has dropped by 2 points from the previous year: 11.65. I've been to some of the home games this season and the new owners have made a number of noticeable off-field improvements including online engagement etc, as was their stated aim. I suspect that there will be challenges aplenty on this and how they have arrived at a score of 9.7.
Meanwhile, this time last year, the fat controller: N Wood & IMG managed to conjure up a jaw-dropping score of 14.85 for Bradford, as a championship side!! |

Totally agree that we failed to respect the opposition on Saturday in terms of the starting eleven. Made all the more baffling in light of the series of tough games, ostensibly, that we will face in October.
Excellent report. [Post edited 21 Sep 14:18]

By my reckoning, that's two more than Burrell and Kone in league games. Rather pertinent observation made by Stocktake, I'd say.

Agree.
Slightly concerned how Adamson will fare against Tyreece Campbell who has started the season very well for Charlton. Still think we should prevail, just. |

And Smythe's ability to get to the byline, take on the defender and actually deliver a cross into telling areas both on the left and right side. He did as much on Saturday when he came on and played down the left.
Something Poku, Vale or Dembele do so rarely, if at all, when playing on the right. All of whom appear to be so wedded to their left-foot. Poku's reluctance to play a first-time ball into the penalty area with his right foot, which would have led to a scoring opportunity, being a case in point against Bolton.
Some of us have started to reference our forwards' limitations, but they aren't being helped by this inverted winger arrangement. I have no problems if the above were of the ilk of Femi Azeez, who doesn't always get it right, but he isn't afraid to use his weaker foot. To the point that he has created chances and scored goals with his right foot, which in turn makes him harder to mark, as he has the ability to genuinely go both ways.
I just want them all to get better in this regard, as they are all capable. [Post edited 24 Aug 15:04]

He may be 37 but if he can still perform to a high level, as evidenced yesterday for the Roosters in a high quality game against Penrith, then he'll certainly raise the standards at FC.
Just hope that the London Broncos are permitted into Super League, not a given, so that I can see him play at Plough Lane. |

No assists to date. Dundee United has only scored one goal and he didn't provide that assist.
I wish him well and hope his loan spell is a successful one. |

He's minuscule with no physical presence for a keeper. you don't have to be a football guru to see that he will get targeted this season. It's all well and good being "good with your feet" but I'd rather have a keeper who's adept in all the core facets of goalkeeping and be imposing physically. Millwall's keeper, Jensen being a case in point.
So to date, both replacements for Walsh have made howlers. Plus ca change. I'd also add that due to Walsh's height, that goal scored by Millwall wouldn't have arisen. |

Personally cannot see Leyton Orient with Richie Wellens, who's no mug, at the helm viewing Alfie Lloyd as being of similar calibre to their last two main strikers: Kelman and Ballard. He would be right too, as Lloyd isn't.
They've received a lot of money for Ballard and I'm in no doubt that they'll be looking elsewhere. Perhaps as a back-up striker, but that would in all likelihood mean another loan. [Post edited 5 Aug 12:35]

If that were Walsh in goal, he'd be getting pelters. Truly awful goalkeeping for their equaliser. [Post edited 1 Aug 16:33]

Yeah but like you say it's far preferable, by some, to perpetuate the unfounded especially in the case of Kolli. |
