Of the two London clubs would it be fair to say that the Skolars are now potentially the bigger of the two. They have what appears to be a better ground and are more settled having been there since 1995. They just seem far more stable to me.

I don't know how it works down there but might it not be more prudent to concentrate on them rather than the disaster that is the Bronco's or are thet just happy as they are?

Is hector still at the skolars, if so then yes, they probably are bigger and have more funding than the broncos.

It's like asking:
Which is the larger of these two infinitely small objects?

Nigel Wood. It's Nigel Wood.

Or maybe Josh Jones.

Broncos on a tight budget are running in the top 4 of the Championship this year. They could be in Super League next year if they can lift their level of play a little and Huddersfield stay in the doldrums.

Forget rugby league in London, just forget it. The biggest draw in the capital are the gold plated supercars. No seriously!

I would like to see a situation where within 5 years both clubs were only playing London players.
There are potentially thousands of Rugby League players in London which remains a untapped market for Rugby League.

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.

Agreed Meast, definitely some talent down there, guys like Oscar Thomas at bradford and Channing and Will Sharp at Featherstone.

The talent has come through, and it's a shame there's not that pathway to the top now.

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.
