A few years ago the RFL had (I think) 10 development officers in London. It then withdrew their funding just as players like LMS and Tony Clubb were breaking through. A huge own goal 😔

The sport has dropped the ball badly with London and what looked so promising a decade or two ago has been almost entirely lost. If corrective action had been taken a few years ago then things would h

It’s nothing to do with the field anymore it’s now a franchise system you can win the World Cup will make no difference lol. 

Right so what would be the problem with London being kept up if they won the SL. Seems like a decision which would be made under any franchising model.

If you’re in the top 14 clubs let alone top 12 I will eat my hat. 

I'm not a Broncos fan. London will be in the top 14 if they won the SL.

Not an option.

What isn't? If you mean staying part time it most certainly is. There is nothing in the constitution about having to be full time, its just presumed that teams will be but this is a unique situation where London would be mad to go full time and jeopordise their future knowing they will be back in the Championship the season after.

What makes you think that like? Bulls might build a 50k seater stadium while you’re trying to win the SL GF.

Let me repeat myself. I'm not a Broncos fan. Bulls aren't building anything anytime soon.

They wouldn't, you have to remember the grading for league spots is judged over 3 seasons, even winning the division would not jump them up enough to be in the top 14 let alone the top 12.

They would still be kept in the SL. I would put good money on it.

Keep them there? Does that also include getting rid of another, with the way finances are there will not be a 14 team SL for at least 3 years - this present TV contract.

Yes Leigh, London has loads more stations.

People are forgetting that London were specifically mentioned by IMG as an area we need to be developing to progress the game. Anyone thinking they will be booted out now that they're in clearly hasn't been paying attention.

Maybe they will be but that's up to them. They can stay part time if they wish which would be the sensible thing for them to do. They are not sustainable as a full time team in the Championship at the moment so going up this season only to go back part time the season after and have a total claer out could set them back years once again which is stupidity for the game.
