Commiserations.

Bongser intended to listen to today's match of which there were FIVE in The Championship. He headed to Auntie's website where the following commentaries were on offer:

Barrow vs Newcastle
Sheffield vs Widnes
Halifax vs Batley
Swinton vs York.

Bongser was never the best at Kim's Game but he knew what had gone missing there! So he went to the pub.

Seems BT, with greater diligence, found a feed from a radio station of which Bongser had never heard but foolishly presumed to be a community radio station in The Smoke. When looked up, Drystone Radio boasts of serving the Craven area. In his innocence and in thinking that this was a South London gig, Bongser thought of Craven Cottage! He was appalled to read the following:

London Broncos DO NOT EXIST as far as London (and The Beeb) are concerned. Pretty sure that Orangeman (good evening, how are you?) doesn't like Bongser, but the latter has fed him enough dry powder for OM to go "Bananas" about!

Yes, realise now that broadcast (narrowcast?) was from the Cringing, Cowardly, Craven area of the Pennine Borderlands but the point remains. Why was there no Radio London (or whatever) coverage, as if we don't all know the answer already.

Bongser doesn't mind having no railway station as long as he has exposure for his club as he had on Friday arriving back from work, commentary from a more oriental part of Yorkshire called, golly, Craven Park!

Yes some kind of community radio station serving the needs of 25 people in the local area and me. The guy doing the commentary was a volunteer I assume so all criticism is good natured but he wasn’t so much a say what you see commentator as a not say very much at all commentator. There was no real build up he simply announced apropos of nothing that someone or other had scored and moved on. A unique experience. Only ruined by Broncos decision to put the queue in the rack at the 40 minute mark. Long old season this already.

Am absolutely furious with that terrible 2nd half performance, right from the get go we missed too many tackles and dropped ball. Unable to cope with the slope and not enough beef in the forwards to push up field. The kicking game was poor, contrast that with Chisholm pinning us back time and again there was only 1 winner in the 2nd half.

Supporters are being taken for mugs and I won't be watching this lot again til we get a half back who can boss the game and even that doesn't compensate for missed tackling, poor handling and discipline etc.

The demise of the club continues. early season reliance on loan players, Dir of Rugby running training...............

I share your frustration. There’s something about this result that’s really annoyed me as well. Keighley were at home and have spent money but they aren’t really ‘there’ yet. This was a result we should have trousered and our second half collapse is just poor. Our squad’s far too thin. Players we have signed aren’t around. The squad is pumped up by kids, who one assumes aren’t at the standard yet but never will be if they don’t get game time. They can’t get game time because we are already in a dog fight so we rely on young players from an SL side who are likely to be of a better standard. I welcome the fact we have got a DR with Wigan because quite a few of the other Championship sides have a DR with someone and we would have got left behind but 4 games in were relying on these loanees that is not how it’s supposed to work.

On the plus side very reasonably priced availability in the ‘GoldLounge’ last time I heard.

Junior Nsemba's loan with Whitehaven has I think come to an end, so I would be keen to see us make a move for him on DR if we can. Sounded as though he played well against us the other week and could give us some depth.
