Quote: Barrie's Glass Eye "LMS, Clubb, Dixon, Sarginson, Mike Macmeeken (sp?) Krasniqi, Caton-Brown

I think those are the ones currently in SL. Your a couple of players short of a good team there, shame London couldn't keep them all.

There's also I few running round at other championship clubs, not to mention overseas players Dorn and Vea who were discovered by the capital club.'"

Sarginson born in Perth, Australia but raised in Hemel Hempstead.
Krasniqi, born in Tirane, Albania but brought up in Feltham.
McMeeken, born in Basingstoke.
Clubb, born in Gravesend.

But they all came through the ranks at Harlequins/London Broncos, as well as a few others, Bryan, Caro, etc.
It shows that there is talent in the south if they are nurtured correctly, what a shame for the London club ( broncos/quins) that they couldn't develop a good solid, team around these guys.

Didn't Dom Peters pick up a drugs ban, or am I thinking of someone else?

I know he played for Lancashire in the Roses games, as the England selectors wanted to take a look at him playing at a higher level.

Life is pretty simple: You do stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.:cartoons/WB24.gif



Quote: Anthony Jones "Whatever happened to the Belcher brothers?

or
Dom Peters
Giles Thomas
James Brookes
George Truelove'"


As Andy Gilder says Dom Peters recieved a ban due to drugs. Think the story was that took steroids to help improve his rehabilitation back from an injury.

Think you mean the Bolger brothers. They and others made it so far but were then either cut as not reaching the SL standard or could see they were not top of the list and sought other options. I believe both the Bolger brothers are or were in Abu Dhabi working as well as playing RL!

George Truelove returned to union, had a decent career in both pro and semi pro ranks I believe. Not really a London developed player tbh, was signed from Bedford RU from memory.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg

Both Bolger brothers were involved with UAERL until it was shut down and banned by RU officials.
