Should be a tough game but one we could possibly win if we tighten up our defence they have far superior defense , so come on lads big effort in defence on Sunday and we can move of the foot of the table

Yeah, sounds like they put in a good performance against a strong Wigan side and obviously beat Cas the week before so this isn't a gimme by any sense of the word but I would expect a good game and be very hopeful for a win.
They have some creative halfs and I see this being a similar game to Wakefield. Hopefully better discipline will see us nick this one. A good win would lift the spirits.
Not sure what the injury list looks like ahead of the game in terms of Briscoe and Mull. Both would be significant losses if they aren't available.
Moore sounds like he is ready for a return and I would hope that Betts does a better job of spelling the hookers and giving White some time on the field in his best position.

Combat the direct running of Gower and Dorn and stop Kaufusi under the sticks and that's London's three main threats dealt with, though they're quite potent from kicks.

Re: london broncos : Tue Mar 20, 2012 7:06 pm  

Dorn has done nothing this year. Sargeson the young centre is a threat as is Witt the other half back.

Certainly no pushover for the Broncos- this I suspect is one of those games your guys will be up for and will have targeted. 50:50 game

Re: london broncos : Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:15 am  

Yeah, Sarginson is a real talent and I expect the bigger clubs will come sniffing around for him sooner rather than later!

On the flip side in the other centre, I think David Howell is a weak link.

I've watched a lot of Broncos and I still see Dorn running the lines he always has. Keen around the ruck and always on the end of the Gower / Witt set plays close to the line.

Just dont see us beating London comparing the forms of the two teams. Dont see anything changing in our defensive line either and this is where we will lose the game.
London have been playing reasonably well, whilst we have been consistently poor, our defence is shockingly bad. Dont know if this down to Betts or just bad player recruitment.

Re: london broncos : Fri Mar 23, 2012 11:24 am  

Could go either way but i think with our injuries it will go the way off London

Re: london broncos : Fri Mar 23, 2012 12:35 pm  

Widnes lose Betts goes.

Any truth to this?

If so hope we get stuffed.

Re: london broncos : Fri Mar 23, 2012 6:39 pm  

Not trying to be funny, or pick any arguments, but in all honesty, I rate Widnes below, Fev, Fax, Batley and Sheffield. The defence is absolutely awful. Don't move up together, cannot tackle, too slow moving up, and the 10 yards at the ptb is the biggest 10 yards I've ever seen. No chance of being caught offside.

Another hammering on sunday, I'm afraid. London are starting to find their feet.
