| Quote Moe Lester="Moe Lester"I have to commend each and every one of you who spend their hard earned watching that bunch every other week. To put it frankly, that is easily the worst side I've seen in Super League.
The highest rated player, Dixon, is nowhere near as good as he's been hyped up to be. He carries the ball sloppy at times and his defensive game simply isn't good enough due to his size.
Mike McMeekan is another I've seen talked up on here. God, if that's the best on offer you have to seriously worry. Sarginson isn't fantastic but the big issue is when he goes imagine the standard of the replacement.
The older and apparently more experienced players are far worse than the young kids. Howell, O'Callaghan, Witt etc were beyond diabolical and frankly stealing a living.'"
I would agree on Dixon, he has a lot to learn. Such raw pace and attacking flair is not something that the Broncos have in abundance though.

| One incompetent or substandard player in an otherwise good team can make a team's chances of winning difficult. Two incompetent or substandard players can destroy a team's chances of winning. Three incompetent or substandard players can result in a humiliating massive loss.
London Broncos has at least three incompetent or substandard players playing each week: O'Callaghan, Howell and McMeeken were the ones last Saturday. No matter how good Craig Gower is -- and he is a very good scrum half -- that fact of having too many substandard players on the field is enough to be able to predict a humiliating defeat for London week after week.

| I thought we made an exceptional contribution to the concept of the Magic weekend. We managed to vanish our defence for much of the second half!

| On Kieran Dixon's try, you have to say how clever and good it was. The thing for me to notice is that it's not hyped up like it is here in oz.
Go to you tube and look up:
Billy Slater best try ever
then tell me what was so different. It's amazing how people don't comment much on a try but when an aussie does it in a big game, they get through a box of kleenex.

| And Dixon stepped the winger before putting in his kick, Billy the Kid just ran onto Lockyers kick.

| to be fair if you watch it back, Dixon had a man on his inside screaming for the ball when he kicked over the full back - there was a 2 on 1 and but for a lucky bounce into his hands, it was a terrible decision to kick it.
As for Saturday against us, we had a good result against a very poor turnout from wakefield - it's too close to call for me if you have a few guys back

Dixon has a better chance of Olympic Gold in 2016 than a long and successful career in RL...IMHO that is.

| Gutters...how have you come to that conclusion? You've barely seen him play on TV and you haven't seen him at all in a live game.

He has questionable defence....I have seen all our highlights (sic) this year and he is an exciting prospect going forward, but a liability/turnstyle when defending. He gives it all, but he is basically only able to tackle around the legs which leaves off-loads.....if he goes high, he gets bounced off......
His natural speed and step are genius, but the game has moved on since the days of Jason Robinson...Centres are like second rowers and even wingers are getting bigger....dare I say that the great Billy Wizz would struggle in the modern game?
I doubt me seeing him miss tackles in the flesh as opposed to on highlights reels would change me opinion of him....

You could say it, but I'm pretty sure you'd be wrong. He was about the same size weight as Chris Riley, and I don't think I'd be suggesting Riley was as good as Robinson any time soon, but Riley holds a place down at the Wolves.
Dixon is also similar to Riley, but has better stats across the board - at least according to SL.
Kieran needs to work on tackling for sure, but he's not alone it that.
The top winger in SL is Charnley, hardly a blockbusting winger, and I would say not as good as Robinson.
