Am pleased for Vince  , but still think that even doubling-up with winning the Playoff title will be a poor return vs the expectations for the laden-roster. If London still have buckets of Brewsters next season then it will be another challenge for Vince to decide where to strike the balance between those players who are only truly motivated by money  and those who can still graft irrespective  And the Sky coverage, and Worcester's hosting, was again from the top-drawer  |

I think Trophy winners, Play-Off winners, and close Cup runners up due to half the team being out with covid, would be considered a successful first season under this new ownership. They keep saying they have a 5-10 year plan. Having said that, we've only won the Trophy to date... and that alone wouldn't be a successful season, especially as in the last full season we won 2 titles with a fraction of the budget and resources. |

With all that talent (and money) they should be sweeping. |

Where has that cup come from? It used to be a glass vase, didn't it? There was a story going around that when Royals won the Trophy 18/19 season Elvisi Dusha pinched it, as he was the last person to be seen with it, |

I'm sober so here my 2 pence
First half London wanted it more it seemed. Raiders didn't play poorly, London just played better. Second half Raiders were much better but it was too little too late. Rickey was hot and we rightfully fed him but you can't have 2 Players in double digits and win realistically. Tough time for Ash to come back and be thrown into the mix and be expected to perform.
All in all I'm a proud Plymouth fan after that performance and game, it was 2017 all over again. Well done London, you really were great

That was a dead rubber part way through the 2nd and at no time did anyone in the arena think different. The team just wasn't working at either end and the neutrals rooting for them even gave up on them. 2021 was so different and this time round there was after the blip at the start a team that had some fight, looked interested and at times looked like they might even pull it off. 2017 all over again it was not imho. |

It was a very well played final. Good advert for the BBL.

Good advert for the game but I dont think this was covered in the National press.
I could not see it yesterday in The Telegraph. Quite disappointing tbh
