Quinskolar Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 If London stay up it will be the greatest achievement in the SL era. They had a small fan base, an inexperienced coach, a short time to make SL quality signings and a lot of players with little or no SL experience. No where near the salary cap.

Man of Kent Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Agreed. Winning in Toronto 4-2 was incredible but staying up would be miraculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clogiron Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Although it seems to be a race to the bottom I think their lack of a big squad is going to catch them out in the end, but overall they aren't the worst team in SL by a long way, there's plenty of others whose had far bigger hammerings than the Broncos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not having a pop I'm just trying to understand why the full funding wasn't used being Londons first season back in SL.. Can’t profess to having any inside knowledge but David Hughes has said publicly he prefers spending money on youth development than expensive imports etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Clothesoff Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Trying to think of something comparable and I’m struggling to think of an SL related triumph. Would love them to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring back GB Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I dread them staying up. If Leeds or HKR go down the sport could potentially lose 4-5000 fans which it cannot afford to. If London go down the difference will be tiny. We need big clubs with great support in our premier competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know let's do away with promotion & relegation (and wouldn't this season have been interesting without it!) in fact stop awarding points for wins, every game like a master's comp, and just let the clubs wave their balance sheets at each other,.

No where near the salary cap. what greater than winning a treble, or double or number of years on the trot the grand final , etc etc... one could make a case that the teams competing for going down are just so poor than any championship team would be competing hard to stay up - like Bradford or Halifax beating a couple of those teams. Just trying to put it into a context... yep they are doing well and good luck to them but I personally would not say its the greatest achievement...

Hull KR average attendances SL 2018: 7964 Championship 2017: 7429 SL 2016: 7808 Would you care to revise your predictions of 'potentially losing 4-5000 fans'?

We need big clubs with great support in our premier competition. The appeal of the "Premier Competition" needs to be spread into the void between Sheffield and London (no offence Coventry). We need more big clubs with more great supporters, everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
