London Broncos (Merged Threads)

It's not. Mike Eccles said it would take a few weeks and that's how things are playing out. -
London Broncos (Merged Threads)

If I remember correctly, the Brisbane Broncos never owned London it was a Brisbane Broncos director Barry Maranta that owned the club, big difference. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It's a big difference -
Our future is 2 tens. But not in the way you describe. 10 UK clubs and 10 French clubs with a 3rd European Club Championship competition with the top clubs from each leagues/pools playing each other. It will take time to get to that point but that's the best scenario for the medium term

You thought the Super 8s were something good to sell to broadcasters?

Ok fair point

Perpignan is a catchment area of 300,000 inhabitants, it's not a major city. Did you think SL was gonna get a tv deal in France on the strength of one club being in a catchment area of this size? France RL needs more work that's all, but the problem is that people like yourself can't look beyond the present situation. There seems to be an incorrect notion that the success of French RL hinges on whether a French tv company pays for broadcasting rights. The correct approach should be to have a clear strategy and appropriate ground work put in that will eventually lead to this ideal situation

They're not any less ready than Salford or Castleford. You're really overestimating the current level of SL both on and off the pitch and the fact that the only thing that separates the health, ambition and success of most RL clubs is whether someone wealthy is prepared to bankroll it. Do you think that without Ken Davy Huddersfield would be any better than the Championship clubs you claimed aren't ready for SL? Do you think that if Hull FC hadn't found benefactors they would be in any better health than those Championship clubs? Wakefield were on the brink before someone came in to rescue them recently. Fact is most SL clubs without the generosity of a benefactor are not sustainable and the current level of most SL clubs aren't much greater than the top Championship clubs. That's the current reality.

It's the usual pessimistic and negative ###### from you that youve posted before just in long form this time

All you need to know is London are coming back to claim our rightful place in SL

My pleasure

Absolute nonsense

No they weren't

IMG, it might be working?
The Daddy replied to Kirmonds pouch's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
So Wakefield have got a new stand, Hull KR are doing half decent and Cas have some advertising boards and people think this thing is working. Lol, yeah OK then. #justiceforlondon -
NRL expansion (Merged Threads)
The Daddy replied to John bird's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Doesn't make a jot of sense for Easts/Brisbane Tigers to link with Wests Tigers, too many complications. I can only see Easts/Brisbane Tigers entering the comp if they merge with Ipswich Jets or if there's a strong western corridor focus. It's just pointless having another team solely for inner city Brisbane. Look at the model for the Dolphins, that's worked successfully and has huge potential for growth. The same approach should be taken with games in both Ipswich and Suncorp Stadium -
Salford financial issues(again…)
The Daddy replied to LeytherRob's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
So by the sounds of it, something drastic still needs to happen for the club to be sustainable. Am I wrong? I'm just disgusted as a London fan to see this news come to light after the IMG scores were announced. It gives the impression that Salford have mislead the sport and makes the grading process look like a joke. This is gonna be an ongoing saga for the whole of next season.
