Watched Wigan v Leeds from the weekend last night..

Am I the only one who gets adrenaline pumping through me watching a first half like that?

As a Saints fan you can probably tell what I was thinking and I actually stopped watching when Wigan started to pull away but all credit to them, there were some serious hits and great defense in general.

How much of a plank is Gareth Hock

48 mins on the clock 12-0 up, would you take the two if you got a penalty near enough to the posts now if you were Wigan ??

Ffs any team to get nil deserve a kick in the hole

So London Broncos are relegated which is likely to see the end of a long, drawn-out and ultimately fruitless attempt to establish top flight RL in the capital. A sad day for the game.

Will be interesting to see how he gets on after four or however many years he's been away kicking and clapping.

Crazy, don't think Bradford will be away from the Super League for more than one season.

Three upsets this last week for the top three, Wigan lose to Bulls, Leeds lose to Bulls and Saints lose to the early birds, still all to play for for top spot and the race for the playoffs still looks undecided between the Robins and the Vikings. Good stuff all round.

Has to be some stewards enquiry ref the bulls though? Will come back up next year for sure

The Bulls may be back,if their top players aren't cherrypicked.(Imho)

They are looking to bounce straight back by the look of it (which is a massive surprise to me too) They have signed Richie Mathers on 2 year deal and have a few other decent signings lined up, almost have more players already in their squad for next season than they started this season with.

Travelling support apart, I doubt the attendance will be much different, certainly not with home support numbers (because there wasn't very many of them to start with).

Actually excited, at least until reality kicks in.

WakeyTyke · 07-08-2014 10:47pm

Richie Mathers is an excellent signing with a wealth of experience, a good team man that will help younger players.

A few more shrewd signings like that and London will certainly be challenging to bounce straight back up.

Saw over the presenters shoulders there was a bit of trouble. Didn't think it was much though.

Certainly has social media buzzing.

This does not sit well with the family-based sport tag. Unfortunately I am old enough to remember the 'bad old days' of crowd trouble in the '70's and how badly it affected attendances.

This hooligan element must be banished from the game ASAP.

Not great viewing...nowhere near as bad as the hull incident that happened in the cup at huddersfield a few years back though??

Actually quite emotional. The Broncos have won a game. Came from 22 points down to beat the Rhinos 40 -36. Admittedly Leeds under strength but I don't care!

London Broncos coach Joey Grima:
"I know Leeds had players missing today but they still had a quality team out there, and to come back like that is hard to believe.
"Given the season we have had, to produce a performance like that takes some doing.
"If I'm totally honest, I am pretty emotional about it all. There's a great atmosphere in the dressing room, although most of the players don't actually know the words to any victory songs."

Leeds coach Brian McDermott:
"I know people think we do not care about the league because of the Challenge Cup, but that is absolutely not true.
"In fact, if we miss out on top spot because of this game I will be very disappointed.
"There were individual errors out there today that are totally unacceptable - we did not play badly as a team, but there were too many mistakes from players.
"Credit to London though. They did not go away and that says a lot after the long, hard season they have had.
