We've just got in from the Batley vs. London game.... what a match!! Final score was Bulldogs 16-22 Broncos and I really don't think we could have played any better. Every single member of the team were pumped up and ready - the whole crowd was behind them and London were left looking rather tired and bedraggled at the sloping pitch of Mount Pleasant. The referee was a Frenchman who has recently returned from a ban (he let a team have 7 tackles instead of the usual 6 - in the final tackle, they scored a try) - he missed absolutely loads and gave terrible decisions. In the final two minutes, Gareth Potts was racing against time to kick the ball, but a London player got there first... still, six points down isn't bad at all.
The weather was terrible too, which was probably favourable for us. The Broncos will have hated the game, rolling around in mud, rain beating down... with a slope uphill the second half. There were knock ons all round. Great game, just a shame we didn't bag six more points!

Yeah we heard about that... I don't think he's fit for refereeing at all. I mean, you're always gonna hate them for one reason or another, but even I could see he was making a load of terrible decisions.
LOLOL that's pretty good - didn't fancy giving them some pointers?
