Quote: Bulliac "Hard to say what the effect of northern clubs chasing youngsters in London would have been to be fair. I'd suspect the effect on the Broncos would hardly have been totally benign. Fair enough, it's a massive area - especially when considering the population - but the profile of RL is so much lower in the south than in the northern heartlands so, pro rata, the number of available youngsters already playing the game is going to be limited. The whole south-east region may well be as big as Lancs and Yorks combined but there will hardly be anywhere near as many rugby league players in it, and if those had been lost to the Broncos they may not have even survived until now.'"
Sorry I meant scouting of players (by whoever) is more important than the existence of the Broncos to amateur rl in the south east. In my opinion of course.
