Let's get behind the boys to thank them for their last two matches!

"Tony Rea's Barmy Army"

We can also do Mac a favour by knackering the Wire. ho ho

dont think we will be knackered most of our big guns wont be playing against you.

Nor will many of ours because they're already knackered.

And to further enhance everybody's enjoyment, we have Messrs. Thaler and Hicks,
London Broncos v Warrington Wolves 8pm (SKY)
Ref B Thaler TJ T Martin TJ P Brooke RR W Turley VR R Hicks TK I McGregor MC J Connolly

TV rolls in to town and the big guns get rolled out.(Easy game to prove himself in preparation for the CC announcement.)

We would normally get A N Other of the refs

We have a video ref as well so can't worry about the refs decisions.

I wouldn't want them every week but a couple of Friday night games a year is a good idea.

Even if it's against a sub strength Warrington, would be good to see a really competitive game at the stoop and enjoy the end of the season.

But what is a 'sub strength Warrington'? Tony Smith's policy of rotating players from a strong overall squad means that few of the squad would be guaranteed a place in the starting line up. Ratchford or Riley are no slouches as full-back if Hodgson is rested. Myler/Ratchford in the halves is still pretty good if Briers is given a rest. Bridge is hardly weakening the centres if he starts ahead of Ratchford, and Matty Blythe has played there in some of our biggest games this season. Rhys Evans needs more starts in the centre if he plays. In the pack, swopping McCarthy, Solomona, and Mike Cooper for Harrison, Westwood and Morley would still mean a fine forward pack.

This should be a good match. A month ago it would have been a no-contest, but Rea has the Broncos believing now. I juts hope a few more people turn up to crate an atmosphere.

No Brett Hodgson, Lee Briers, Ben Westwood, Joel Monaghan, Garreth Carvell and Ben Harrison for Wire.

London 19... Bailey, Bolger, Bryant, Caro, Clubb, Dixon, Dorn, Gower, Howell, Kaufusi, Krasniqi, Lovell, Melling, O'Callaghan, Randall, Rinaldi, Robertson, Wheeldon, Witt.

Robertson & Lovell are back this week. Sargy is still out with his ankle injury.

Whats happened to The Aussie second rower Rodney we spent good money on. They never seem to update us on his ailments. Has he fallen out with the club or is he injured?

As I said in another thread, we don't get much luck, do we...if a wigan player gets a headache it ends up all over the media. Our injury concerns seem to escape everyone.

Don't think I've seen it mentioned anywhere about the amount of Londoners playing for Broncos this year. Maybe it's because we have had such a bad season.

What a weak looking Warrington 19...only about 8 internationals. My heart bleeds for them!

No Hodgson, Briers or Joel Monaghan, I'll take that. Would have been nice if Atkins had also been rotated.
