Great performance by London Broncos tonight despite Tom Grant gifting Fev a couple of try`s and making a few wrong decisions.
Fev blow it again.

Plenty of home grown players in the London team too to go with the handful running round in SL.

Feath weren’t great, basically only turned up for the last 20 or so.

London really reminded me of themselves in their last play off run where they went and beat Toronto. They went out and played some really (care)free rugby. Their forwards got over the much more experienced and expensive Fev pack, and then it was Norman pulling all the strings. Either team in the top league would be great to see, but I'd really like London to get the job done.

I think it would be an ideal time for the RFL to expand to 14 and bring both finalists up. If they are ever going to do it, now would be the ideal opportunity to strike whilst the iron is hot and there are two targeted expansion clubs ready for the leap.

Sadly, it is way too late in the year to pull that switcharoo though.

There would have to be a significant increase in the tv deal for that to happen.

I'm pleased that London have won today, good for the game.

Couldn’t agree more. Recruitment will be difficult for them at this point though. They continually have produced players more so than a lot of so called heartland clubs and that is really important imo.

A good start would be signing that winger, Darrel or something.

Yes….see if the sleeve can swap Olpherts for Macani

Yes good to see London win without as many journeymen as Toulouse.
Toulouse`s hooker looked ok.
