Save London Skolars Gofundme Page Please help
Magic XIII replied to IM2's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
No Skolars team entered in the London Junior League, but they aren't alone with the LJL only running 2 age groups and 3 /4 teams in each. Watch this space but I believe another long standing club in the region are really struggling at open age for players, as a result of, amongst other things lack of effort from management. -
Read this on Twitter and it painited a bad picture, but maybe everything isnt as bad as it seems. London Broncos normally attend an end of season Origin series - which itself has decreased in age groups - and identify the talent, now it looks like they are running their own Origin as they are promoting it on social media.

London Broncos v St Helens Venue Change
Magic XIII replied to Gomersall's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Agree, w/o the IMG grading it's conceivable Hughes might have dug deep and put a competitive side together. -
London Broncos v St Helens Venue Change
Magic XIII replied to Gomersall's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
It's not for IMG to restore London, it's David Hughes as the current custodian. If he isn't able or doesn't want to, then he should find someone who will (easier said than done) or we, the fans, have to accept where we are at. -
London Broncos v St Helens Venue Change
Magic XIII replied to Gomersall's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Like all things Broncos, several highs - World Club Championship beating Canberra, 2nd in league, McLinden, Hill, Retchless, Gill, Wardy, vibrant bar and post match music, kids zones and lows - Gus Mackay, heavy defeats, heavy opening night defeats, downward trajectory, falling out (again) with landlords ....... and funnies, Warrington fan(s) burning jerseys after getting flogged, will always stick with me! -
IMG Grading System (Many Merged Threads)
Magic XIII replied to DemonUK's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Is currently a basket case, ill run and underperfomring since the 00s. Done well, it would be a different story. -
IMG Grading System (Many Merged Threads)
Magic XIII replied to DemonUK's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I hate comparing to Aus but NRL franchise based (with the glass ceiling) below which hugely popular, well supported, TV screened, vibrant Queensland and NSW Cup competitions, some teams twinned with NRL clubs. It's a mind set thing, with SL being seen as the be all and end all. -
NRL might fancy dipping their toes in the SL water. What does Greater London / SE offer, that M62 doesn't and the NRL are desperate to find ? Untapped potential player pool. Buy Broncos for a song from DH, put in place capable off field staff and most importantly a well structured player identification and development programme.

London in Super League practicalities
Magic XIII replied to N2022's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Says their involvement in SL this year is pointless from the IMG perspective for 2025, and as a result, the squad they have assembled has no recognisable w/class talent that folk will tune in to watch. -

St Albans (Hertfordshire) straight to Haydons Road, perfect, then 10mins walk. Only been a couple of times but other than one way 90mins, its an ok experience, IF the team are competing.
