  1. Justin Olam to Wire? https://www.totalrl.com/melbourne-storm-centre-justin-olams-move-to-super-league-gathers-pace/
  2. Might be significant in the long term. This chap has bought a place on the board and Uncle Gary isn't getting any younger.
  3. So Leeds have a major new sponsorship and they've spaffed it on a big transfer fee for Brodie Croft. Smart move by Salford to sign him on such a long deal.
  4. Willie Peters has gone! to Tesco for a bottle of wine and a box of Finest crackers for cheese.
  5. I would assume he means it’s a meeting about how the pro & semi-pro clubs will be divvied up.

  7. If by growing the game you mean enlarging the player pool (and sport is nothing without players) then - to his eternal credit (though not from all quarters) - David Hughes has spaffed c.£25m of his own money on growing the game in London. That element is pretty much sorted. The success of London's academy is well documented. The ground is sorted too. What's missing is a top flight club for Londoners to watch and investors to back. There's no shortage of capital in London in need of a return. So it seems to me the missing bit is the ROI. If Super League can help by guaranteeing participation, I am convinced investors will see the growth opportunity and come on board. Not just London but for all clubs in Super League (or whatever they rebrand it as).
  8. When Branson was there, they were a decent team that made the Challenge Cup final and got decent crowds. It has been done in the past and there is no reason why London cannot be successful in the future with stable investment conditions.
  9. Not that your whataboutery is relevant to this thread, but cricket is the only truly national sport in Australia. Not Victorian Rules Football.
  10. Even if the RFL had two pennies to rub together, it shouldn't need to invest in London if the market conditions were sensible.
  11. English football has the luxury of c.100 full-time pro clubs. We have to, or should be, more choosy.
  12. Yeah, yeah. Play the ball not the man etc. Seriously though, it's mental. The NRL wouldn't be leaving having say, Melbourne or Wagga Wagga, to chance.
