Poor performance in my opinion but a game which we were somehow in a position to win. One shocking conversion miss and some poor last tackle options from Oli Leyland probably cost us. Where is Raiwalui ?

The correct outfit had been sourced for Dusty today. That was the main positive.

A frustrating result but not one we have any right to feel too aggrieved about for me. That first 18 mins, we were an absolute rabble, dropping balls, errors in possession. We put a kick up in good ball with a numbers advantage, not a single one of our players jumps for it. Walker absolutely bawled the right edge out and for good reason. As much as we eventually came into the game and played some decent stuff, I thought Sheffield made life difficult for themselves as much as anything.
Looks like we came out of it with several injuries too.

Frustrating result. Sheffield just the better team but London got themselves in a strong position and remained competitive. No Bienek today which I think left us one inside presence short, which became a big issue with Albert's early injury. Natoli and Basset showed a bit more today; I was a bit underwhelmed against Batley, but looked good today.

Kick-off to London. Turned it over. Sheffield attack our left. Macani out of position. Try. Not the greatest start!

Was impressed by Lovell, Stock and Silva today.

Raiwalui (or similar). Desperately needed. The team needs an x-factor in that position. Parata playing as a half back looks so wrong to me. Looked excellent last season. Maybe it's me but seeing little from him today. But he's in the wrong position surely.

Leading by two with lots of time to go, do you kick a penalty to lead by four? Then do you follow it by another to lead by six? Surely the odds starting inside the opposition's 22 twice are you'd expect a try. Even if you don't a converted try later would call and beat conceding a converted try. Instead our two penalties were only enough for a tie when Sheffield converted a try and we'd lost the imitative. Very defensive in my opinion.

In the first half Leyland's conversion hit the near post square on when he was kicking from about 10 yards off centre to his right. We wondered if that would bite us in the bum later. And it did.

With Albert likely injured. Bienek presumably injured. Waine yet to arrive. The three Wigan lads presumably an the end of their initial loan. Raiwalui who knows. Grant still out. I'd suggest this is "Recruitment Week" about four months too late. Whilst this team shouldn't be relegation level, they are falling straight into another relegation battle.

Crowd way down which is a shame. Will confidently start at 500+, but not hugely more. I can go a bit higher, but not threatening four figures.

He went into his hotel wardrobe to get his coat & now is in Narnia.

Didn't see this one. Interesting to hear macani found lacking in defence on the wing again. His inability to defend is becoming the difference between winning and losing on more than one occasion IMO
When will the calls start coming for Eccles to go I wonder?

So from what I can garner from here and other social media sites is that we were average at best, didn't deserve to be within a point of sheffield, are picking up injuries and are already in a relegation dogfight with fewer than 600 fans in attendance?
Why does Hughes bother? Not content with dragging us down to this level, he seems to think that cutting costs is now the way to prolong our existence until IMG or some other miracle rescues us.
If the Gate is a sub 1k, then it's high time Loubser is shown the door!

Will be interested to see the opening try on video (assuming the camera was running that early!) to see if Macani was truly at fault It looked it and he was totally out of position as they moved into score. Only mitigation was whether he was left isolated on two men. I didn't think so, but maybe.

Considering that we’ve yet to get a spanking off anyone ( yet) I think any calls of ‘Eccles out’ would be premature.
One better attacking option at one point today ( or indeed one better defensive set ) and we could be talking about a second win of the season.

The injuries to a few key players today are worrying, especially as the Wigan lads are soon due to return home.

It was certainly sub 1K. I suspect we won't be told the actual figure.
