Would have been a new ground for us at least lol

Spot on, I couldn't have worded my views on the sport any better.

So I'm lead to believe that this is a slightly altered format from the original format when the 8's system was in place, this will be a hard one for the top 4 League 1 clubs to get promotion.

I think mergers are going to be the way to go if the sport is to thrive in the future, our own club might fall victim to that as much as I don't like the idea.

I'm glad someone sees what IMG are trying to do. Theres so many people in RL who can't grasp this.

Tommy has played for us before, played for Dewsbury Celtic as a lad and came through the academy system at Leeds.

Hi, I'm a longer time lurker on this thread, I'm not a regular poster by any means lol This is an interesting concept and I'd be interested in seeing this come in to play, I can imagine this would cost a hell of a lot to most if not all of the countries involved though. I could be (and would happily be) wrong though.

People come to watch if there's success on the field like you say, if you're getting beat most weeks people don't bother coming unfortunately. Am I right in thinking he was going to take the RFL to court after winning the GF and then did a 180? I was only 3 back then so I don't know a great deal about the story

I think the lads did well on Friday, the first half was a cracking effort from us. Unfortunately its a game of two halves and Sheffield just proved to be a bit too strong in the second half. Fitness also seemed to lack slightly in the second half.

On the subject of London Skolars it's not surprising they've dropped out of League 1 and gone amateur, when you consider they were only getting crowds of 50/60 people (that's including away fans) they must have been making massive losses which would have probably sent most clubs bust. I've thought for a while they should maybe merge with the Broncos but dropping down into the SCL is probably the next best option for them.

Being serious I'd take him back in some capacity, his first couple of years here gave us some of the best rugby we've seen in years.

I didn't realise that this game was being played today until I saw the result on BBC sport, I'll have a look and see if I can find a place to watch the game now it's finished

It's unfortunate that he's gone as he was doing well for us.

It will be a case of wait and see I'm afraid, there will be at least 3 names that get thrown around from pillar to post until fax announce who the coach is.

I think it's great that Ottawa have decided to relocate to a completely new part of England/Britain, I hope it works.
