Squads - Broncos v Leopards : Fri Aug 23, 2024 12:29 pm

A potential banana skin but if we're losing this, even against a spirited and buoyed London, then we don't deserve a play-off place.

Still hoping other results go our way this week; in my opinion obviously better if Saints and Salford lose(can see KR doing it, don't think giants will though) and think Leeds beating Catalan it more preferable

Bongser's thinking precisely, Deeks (that should send you all a-scurry for a mental health check!!)

Leeds did their bit and KR should put to the sword a Saints side that is begging for the quietus, but there are no givens in RL. We have slipped back a hard earned place, but most assume that that will be rectified with a comfy victory over lowly Broncos. That will not be over the line until it is - if it is.

No, don't see Hudds pulling a win off but Salford were awful last week and will have three of their thugs suspended tomorrow evening.

Here's hoping for a perfect weekend as the top of the hourglass is running thin on sand. COYL!

Win every game now basically.

Have to beat wire and the need to beat Cas

KR the hardest of the matches left and then a nice grudge match vs Saints

Beat Wolves and I feel it's in our hands rather than relying on other results


As for this match. Felt more like one eye on Wolves and trying to do as little as possible. Risky as London do at least play as and for the team, heart there if the bodies aren't after 80 minutes.

2 points, it was what it was. Let's see what Friday brings

Not vintage to say the least, but job done.
More patience and better completion that comes along with that, and it would have been easier on the VL household trying to sleep at 7am
Another week for Moylan’s rib cartilage (and Charnley I think also) will be a good thing come Friday I hope.
If we can get a Lam, Moylan, Asiata and O’Brien and Ipape on the field at the same time, I think we can have a good chance next week and in the last 3 games. The worry is that it’s not a well drilled five come Friday, due to constant enforced change, but they are each quality and will each benefit from the four quality pivots around them.
I’m quietly feeling more and more confident about a top 6, based on both our form and the poor form of Catalan and Saints.
Up The Leopards !

Unfortunately, I have a feeling Asiata will be getting a ban for his late hit.

See if O'Brien has some punishment for his attempted tackle too

Re: Squads - Broncos v Leopards : Mon Aug 26, 2024 1:07 pm  

Yip, Asiata with a ban

Got what he deserved, and as you say possibly lucky we didn’t get O Brien as well

Not as big a loss as it once was to be fair, still a class act but injuries and less game minutes when fit mean we have learned to play without him, hughes or more likely trout at 13 will give us some proper grunt that we will need against wire. Moylan being fit will be big to give us that attacking spine
