Please delete if unsuitable. Former London Skolars and Oxford RL player, and London RL development officer, Anthony Cox fell ill last September and was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome on 23rd September 2024. His friend William Welsh is going to do the 3 Peaks Challenge on the 23rd September 2025 - the first anniversary of diagnosis - to raise awareness and a little bit of money for Inflammatory Neuropathies UK. Coxy was a stalwart of the London scene, playing through youth academies and at both professional and amateur levels as an adult. Will is pretty close to hitting his £500 target but it would be great to obliterate it. Nobody asked me to put this here, though I did contribute. https://www.justgiving.com/page/william-welsh-3?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

The most damning article on the international game.

Wow, there genuinely is a place called Muff in Donegal. -
Well then all expansion is a waste of time and it's all a moot point. We should give up.

Rugby League Team Manager 4 Thread
bbfaz replied to Lucy_1873's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I've given up on real-life Rugby League so I might as well try the virtual. -
IMO, we need more heartland teams. If you're in semi pro RL desert and you can make a go of it, we need you to try. More Gooles, less Cornwalls. I know that's the opposite of what everybody says but there are seemingly two paths in expansion teams; hire a bunch of local players and lose, or bus in a bunch of northerners and be competitive. Therefore, cut out the middleman and bus a bunch of northerners to somewhere closer by. This also means trying to expand to places around the periphery of the heartlands. More RL in Merseyside, Cheshire, Derbyshire etc.

I've been considering buying this but games are so buggy at release now that I wait a few months until they do a soft relaunch once everything is working. -
London Broncos (Merged Threads)
bbfaz replied to Magic XIII's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Jesus, good on Dan Roberts. He was our little engine that could. -
Since the 2008 recession, Rugby League has been fighting over an ever-shrinking pie. The only way to reverse this is to bring more money into the game through TV and sponsorships. Otherwise, we need to increase matchday revenues, which would be based around a massive economic recovery across the north of England which just isn't coming. So, if the NRL can bring in TV money and sponsorships without the pro clubs giving up what remains of the family silver, then bully for them. However, any more cutting of the existing pie isn't good enough. Even if you reduce the number of mouths you feed, there's still not enough to go around.

London Broncos must stay in SL!!
bbfaz replied to The Daddy's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
While I think London is important, I don't think it should come at the expense of everything else. I also think London Broncos are a busted flush and have been since the end of the Harlequins RL era. -
NRL commence SL takeover discussions
bbfaz replied to The Daddy's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
The NRL are also going to have a no-###### attitude to it. No "give us a franchise or else it'll never happen" stuff. -
It's a national final, Eddie. You need to have rules.
