1.65 million doesn't get you a lot in London....certainly not as much as it gets you In St Helelns or Leeds

I remember having a beer in the pub next to KR ahead of the 2003 play-off game.,......Pint of Carlsberg Export and a large lemonade...it cost 1.85. The same drinks in the Griffin at Brentford cost 3.25 in 2003.

Dvorák's New World Symphony in the background?

Much better than hearing a load of blokes in flatcaps belting out On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at.

You is proper angry bruv! I can hear the sirens comin!

Odd...

If London are competitive this season. Especially at Home for lots of reasons. Then spending the 1-65m will be worth it.

Only if people bother to turn up and watch them, if they don't it's hard to see where London go from there.

Most jobs that have a London weighting, its a couple of thousand pounds, it seems in RL its a couple of hundred thousand pounds

I dont buy into the idea London is a less attractive club to players, to the British players that maybe true, but super league is half made up of Aussie's, Kiwi's and pacific islander's, who would find London a much more attractive place to live than the likes of St helens, Warrington, Hull ect

Not in all cases, some players are only here for the money. If they can live cheaper up north then they'd go there.

Listening to Matty Johns would confirm as much.

The top clubs get much more for their money. LMS is on the same money as he would've been if he'd stayed in London. But he wanted the challenge of leaving one of the greatest cities in the world to live in a strange northern small town. A bit like when Bear Grylls goes to live in an uninhabitable part of the world for a while. A proper test of character.

It's good that they have backer willing to flash the cash, can;t help but think a salary cap of 1.45 mill and and extra 200k to marketing might have been a better spend!

It would be great if more RL fans in the SE came to watch us. There's so many who associate themselves with northern clubs but don't get themselves to London games. RL fans are good at moaning but not so good at supporting the game. Come along its a fantastic family atmosphere with genuine, passionate RL fans of all sorts of backgrounds.

Passionate fans yes but the ground is a bit lifeless and can put some off, i go to both London and Wire games and the difference in atmosphere is vast.

London games feel like Sunday dinner with the family and Wire games feel like a night out with lads
