| Feel this is the right decision by Tony.
He's kept us alive as a club & taken the flack off Joe Grima while he settles in & finds out what an uphill struggle he's let himself in for.
Wish Tony & his family all the best for the future in whatever course he chooses to take.

| I have been a critic of TR from way back. However I can't doubt his loyalty over the years and I wish him every success. Hope you get to be kangaroos coach Tony!

| The right decision but, in the round, TR has been one of the finest employees the club has had. It will be a shame if he leaves the club completely. Let's hope this Hall of Fame thing comes off and TR is one of the first to be recognised.

| He was so pro-London it was ridiculous.
Now he has gone, just so people know and not tar him with a gus brush, he was asking about recruitment from as early as August last year. His hands were tied re money and our existence, and we missed out on some players as a result. We then were in the awkward position of having to sweep up players where we could. Don't ever think he did nothing about this when he was all along.
I also recall him in 2000 coming over here and letting me interview him which was put on the old site. He came round my flat and spent about 90 mins talking about London with a passion that was so clear.
Of all the good and bad things said about him and what he has done and did. He was always doing things with the intention to benefit us. That's what I'll thank hm for.

| As an outsider looking in I can't see anything but looking into the future in the Championship. Switching coaches at this time in the season especially when your lads have been improving (a win will come soon!) is a bad idea. He was just starting to get them to play how he wanted. Also reports said Rae would have rather stayed on. Good luck rest of the season guys.

| I am really upset about losing this great man who is the heart and soul of London Rugby League.
He has been badly let down.
In the backs he has pretty much a full suite of reserve/academy players with his first choice fullback and wingers (Mataitonga, Dixon and Duckworth) never available.
At half back in the main he has again untested kids.
In the forwards he has a reasonable set of backrowers but the smallest and youngest front row in the competition.
That is down to David Hughes and Gus Mackay and the full year of faffing around.
If you look at the players who first played Super League at the Broncos or left in recent years we could have had a team like:
Dorn, Dixon, Sarginson, Sykes, Caro, Soward, T.Leuluai, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, T.Lee, Clubb, Bailey, Vea, Cook
But in 2009 and 2013 Hughes wobbled.
We should be able to give Tony a send off this weekend.

| Rooster booster ... Wise words. I chatted with tony a few times last year and it was clear that he was building a new team long before the season ended. He wasn't promising the earth but hoped to finish in a safe place for next year.
Sadly the cock up that was the post season pretty much destroyed any chance of rebuilding.
In my experience tony is/was a good man who cared passionately about the broncos and importantly he understood and cared about the supporters.
Good luck tony.

| Tony Rea was a great club man as Rooster and others have said.
The last time I met him he was still involved in Union in Australia, but we spent ages discussing London and he knew results etc., and you could see that the situation was painful to him.
The reason this Club is that the people that own and run it don't have Tony's passion.
Thanks Tony.
