Ridiculous post. Yesterday's drubbing was just one of a series of diabolical efforts this season and to blame the RFL and the officials is simply to stick ones head where the sun doesn't shine.

still waiting for someone to come up with why the officials were so rubbish? What is wrong with the ref asking the touchies what he saw errrr that is what they are there for

Even in the club's bleakest moments playing in the murk at Chiswick, unsure if they were going to get paid the players generally performed with more pride, courage and passion than that shower did yesterday.



This is one of the few RL showpiece games shown on the BBC and we let the game down.



Something has been going wrong with the club since we entered SL, now it doesn't feel like a club anymore, more like just a bunch of overpaid mercenaries, a kit bag and a small odd group of never say die, hairshirt wearing fans.

The problems are more recent than that. As much as David Hughes money has saved the Broncos his decisions on how to run the club are killing it.

This..........and pretty much only this!

I find it hard to have sympathy for him anymore- pumping money into a losing cause might be noble, but pumping money into a losing cause without taking steps to turn it into a winning one is idiocy.

When it looked like Wigan might be relegated their crowds actually increased. Wigan fans are very loyal, even if they don't turn out to watch dross like the Broncos

The club has never been very well run, there was a false dawn when Lenegan took over before retreating into his comfort zone and dropping DH in it. An earlier post mentioned getting someone like Branson involved but we have all been there too.



There is just something about the club now where players don't play to their potential and we end up playing a dreary boring brand of RL to the point where committed fans like myself can no longer be bothered to turn up.



We wrecked a showpiece semi final yesterday. thankfully the 2 teams on display today did a bit to restore the games credibility.



London needs a successful SL club it doesn't need another makeweight, there are enough of them around the M62!

Not long back after making a weekend of it. My thoughts on the weekend



Good points:



Leigh East v Elland

Leigh East's clubhouse

Chicken Balti pies

New York Brass Band

Beers and comradery with Broncos fans

Generosity of Leigh's board with the hotel rooms

Park Inn's breakfast

Oldham's clubhouse and the friendly Roughyed and Crusaders fans

Oldham v Crusaders



Bad points:



Cheerleaders had changed their outfits from the ones worn at the National Rail finals

Everything between 5 and 7 yesterday

Bentham was dreadful but so were London.



Wigan did the basics well - no more than that.



It is nearly August now, 10 May was the last time we kept a Super League side to below 30, since then: 64, 46, 30, 82, 46, 44, 34, 38, 70.

No he wasn't.....maybe one mistake with the high shot on Tompkins other than that we tried to slow the play down and he penalised us

That was the happy flag waver, there was a further incident when the referee called Bronco's ball, after a knock on from Wigan, again the happy flag waver on the other side, said scrum to Wigan, giving the second knock on, not the first one! again it resulted in a try. It was one of those days when nothing went wrong for Wigan, however bad we played.
