What'll be more worrying is if we're still on zero heading into games v York and Fev......this game is huge for the club both on and off the park

looks like we might be zero on points both in the table, and on the pitch... 10 mins away from 2 sucessive games nilled? cross fingers that in last 10 mins they will at least score

Listened on the radio. Seemed error strewn and devoid of quality. 1,411 attendance, I can only hope those coming along for the first time weren't put off. I know it has been said before but relaunching with a squad this poor was madness.

Nilled again- not good enough. That was a must win today. Coach not good enough? Players not up to the job?

Now who thinks us old moaning posters on this forum did not know what were on about, every thing what has been posted has become true. The debate was allways when we would win our first game, the debate will now be changed to when will we score our next point.

That was poor. The only positive was at least the game wasn't over until the last minute. Having said that I had zero confidence the Broncos would convert if they scored a late try. Their kicking game looks pretty awful in all areas; I thought their best chance was to keep the ball in hand on the sixth tackles! As I see it, 3 matches and one scrimmage and yet to kick that oval ball over that cross bar thingy! Ok not the aim of the game, but a pretty poor stat.
Whilst I've seen Rugby League on TV back to the 70's my knowledge is limited. Basketball gets criticised for each team scoring one after the other. Rugby League for getting tackled five times, kicking away and the other team doing the same. The difference maker I've seen in the past is the creativity, especially from the half backs. Where was that today? What does Thomas offer? I think the game was three quarters old before Horsman came on (unless I missed it earlier). At least he gets stuck in.
The rain probably didn't help but the number of mistakes were horrendous, and the weather can't be blamed for many of them. It was fitting that the last chance the Broncos had (admittedly from 80 yards out) they turned the ball over on the first or second tackle.
