London in the capital could work, but it needs to be on the back of solid grassroots development of the game. You can't drop an SL team into a town and immediately get it to fly, even one as big as London.

Skolars are doing good work in Wood Green, Broncos need to establish a base and stay there, dropping into Championship 1 if necessary. Given the game is more likely to take in areas we aren't competing with existing RU clubs, I'd say that East London (look at sharing Brisbane Road with Leyton Orient) is probably a better bet than anywhere else. Encouraging Hemel to develop as a club, along with the amateur game in Medway would be a good way forward.

If we want to spread the game in the Capital in the meantime, the best way of doing that is promoting the Challenge Cup Final, playing England internationals in London, moving the Magic Weekend to London or even the Grand Final.

I don't doubt that the endgame for the RFL should be to have anywhere between 2 and 4 clubs in Greater London. But right now it isn't working, and we need to go back to basics and develop the amateur game. When development does happen, it will need to involve names already familiar to the southern public, and we should be looking to bring in RU players who could make it in RL - Manu Tuilagi, Billy Twelvetrees and Matt Banahan spring to mind. But a whipping-boy team full of ancient Aussies is something no-one in the North, let alone in London, would want to watch.

As a London fan I can confidently say that no-one is more embarrassed about that result and performance than we are.

I can only really echo what others have said. The management of the club are squarely to blame for fostering a culture where incompetence has been richly rewarded and radical thinking is discouraged. Don't rock the boat, don't plan for tomorrow. As usual, we get to the back end of a super league campaign having no idea where we're going to play (if we are to play) next year.

It's no wonder this negative, disorganised attitude leaks onto the playing front. I think generally, our youth setup is improving all the time, and we're much more competetive at academy level than we were say five years ago. But it worries me that the players that do make it through to professional contracts still struggle with the basics. That's a coaching problem as much as anything else and when you step back, you realise that we haven't had a competent coaching setup since the early days of the McDermott regime.

I have to be honest and say that if the club is still around in two years, we don't merit an SL license and a spell in the Championship is probably all we deserve. It's very difficult to see how we as a professional entity carry on when so many fans have been alienated and the wider profile of the club is as bad as it's ever been.

In a nutshell!

I always wondered who the London fan was.

Oi cheeky! Down with that sort of thing! ( careful now)

It's me today, penguin tomorrow, Rob from Erith on Thursday, paddock punter has the club at weekends and Listy babysits on Mondays.

Hope that' stopped the wondering
