Unless my page isn't uploading, it's four hours since the game, and not one single post about it (not even a commentary thread)



1) Sad to say that given some of the scores being predicted beforehand, 8 - 44 wasn't too bad was it. At 0 - 10 after a few minutes I thought here we go again, but we stopped the flow for the next 20 minutes or so until near the break, so not a bad effort for the first half. After Wigan scored imediately after the break I lost interest in Broncos efforts and just sat back and enjoyed Wigan's play for the remainder of the match. Love him or loathe him, Tompkins was pure class

2) I thought we looked slightly more like a team today, and appeared to make fewer mistakes than previous games, it may be wishful thinking though. Let's hope that with Tony Rae at the helm he can instill some more confidence in the team before the Catalan and Salford games

3) Anybody know the extent of Dan Sarginson's injury? It didn't look promising from the moment the Wigan player's hand went up to stop the game

And while i was typing Torbreck and PP go and post

The two main problems were clear to see. The switch off period (first five minutes and last five of the first half) and the ability to match opponents for only part of the game, we probably matched them for 50 minutes, but in the other 30 they killed us. Still there was some stick ability and we will need more of that as the season goes on. Once again injuries did us, but Wigan appeared to suffer none of their own. We have a long way to go ....................

OK, so we leaked 44 points by Wigan being world class - and the first 5 minutes a disaster. But by far the *biggest* improvement was us wrapping up the attacking players by using not one, not two but by using 3 defenders to bundle up the Wigan players and get them grounded and not being able to pop the ball out. So many times over the past 4 months we looked like we were having a Sunday dance with tackles but today we stopped many moves dead in their tracks. I was impressed and reckon if we didn't do that basic task so well today we could have easily conceded 90+ points.

I thought O'Callaghan and Howell were terrible in both attack and defense, Randall was average in attack and that the attack was very mediocre.

But the attitude was good and I was pleased that the resistance was stubborn and Sam Tomkins With four tries and two set ups was the difference rather than a basic run at a weak defender

Totally outclassed. Can't pick anyone out this week. Got what we deserved.

Ankle injury. He's home with it iced up, so he tweets.

What were you expecting?

Nothing better than anything that's gone before. Awful. We have no centres or second row, no power up front, ineffective halves. We were lucky to cross their line and lucky they bombed so many gilt edged chances.

Just a poor team and you cant expect any major changes in how we perform. We need wholesale changes if we are to complete next year.

Gosh. Two days into the job and things are back to square one reading the above. You're a tough crowd.

didn't ship the 70 points i thought we would but we are nowhere near big enough or physical enough for a super league team. excellent day out though with good people. Get down to Skolars next saturday and sunday for some competitive rugby league in London.
