London have gone now. Decent first 15 though bungled kick off return, missed extra points and bungled short kick off aside. Long old game now.

They're knackered.

Yup. Shot to pieces.

A 40-4 defeat away to Hull KR isn't too bad.

It’s so frustrating…. The boys can compete. There’s no doubt about it, but for a start why on earth is Butler still being played - the poor bloke looks broken. He needs a rest… Lovell looked better and more lively this week - no bandaged knee which can only be a good sign.

But ultimately, (as I’ve said before) with Butler looking far from fully fit, No Bienik, Kershaw, and so on, exacerbated by a lack of discipline and brain explosions at times, it’s no wonder we’re struggling to compete for the full 80, let alone get a result….. how many times did we give away a 6-again on the 5th?

We were also completely physically dominated resulting in several kicks on 5th coming from within our own 20…..

I’ll be getting behind the boys for the next game as always, but it’s been no fun being a broncos fan so far this year…

Does anyone know where our Italian Aussie half back is?

Worked hard second half and I thought we had best of first 15 of each half. Not sure where that leaves us this season though.
Thought pretty much everyone turned up for the manager and although we’re a bit weak in the tackle at times they gave it their best for the full 80. Thought Hughes and Hoyes aquitted themselves pretty well despite lack of first team experience. Storey has stepped up pretty well this season and best game for Kennedy I thought.

Another question is when he comes back will we show more cutting edge. I’d like to think so but I’m not entirely sure.

Yes Butler looks like he’d benefit from a rest. On his day he can be a really dominant forward but he looks a bit bust. I agree not sure how much entertainment Broncos are providing this year. Certainly have limited appetite for the Saints and Catalans home games later this year.

I'm pretty sure it was Cake or Hughes who described him as being one of the best half backs just below NRL level so if true he should be making a difference. Of course I could have imagined it after one or two pastis too many & joyfully reminiscing about our wonderful history of Southern Hemisphere half backs.
