The man in charge of Lodon's franchise knows what is required hence this is the 1st time the club have spent up to the cap. I for one cannot wait for the new season. hopefully win more games at home might get more punters through the door.

Agreed, I don't want to get too carried away after the last few seasons we have had, but I am REALLY looking forward to the 2012 season!

I would much rather be in our situation than playing at a toilet of a stadium, announcing wonderful signings such as Kyle Wood and only being in Super League on a technicality.

I'm disappointed I didn't get a game over the last few years with some of the guys who have taken the field in a London jersey.



We might have to go down this route if a few thousand extra fans don't buy into a half-decent London Rugby League side every other week next season.

Do you have concerns about the coach London fans? Or do you feel confident he can guide you into the play offs?

True, just seems that the £1m could have been better spent, perhaps developing a game outside the traditional players, perhaps encourage womens rugby league rather than netball. It's like when the US govt spent $34 Million sending a letter, to let us know their giving us a tax rebate! Just doesn't need to be done.

RL gets a lot more than £1m

Apparently we get £8m pa, just seems £1m to get girls to play netball is something that they have always played and will always play. £1m wasted IMO and could have been shunted elsewhere to get more girls playing cricket, rugby league or even soccer.

Perhaps the money was spent on facilities to play a sport that there was significant demand for. It's not like you come across netball pitches outside school grounds.

Well he's got his own squad this season, not what was left him by Mc Dermott. On paper it looks a much stronger than a London squad has for a long time, and we've spent pretty much up to the salary cap so I'm willing to see how he goes with it this season. I think we had a realistic finish last season with a rookie coach and a weak squad, but this season Powell has better players at his disposal and the experience of last season to learn from. Quietly confident maybe? Certainly more hopeful of a better finish for the coming season.

To be fair, Women's football is one of the fastest growing games in the world at the mo. Should have been spent to get more women into mud wrestling or some such.

Slightly ignorant of what the £1m actually does, aren't you?

A sport cruely denied Olympic status.

Blissfully aware that it is a social program in a sporting guise.

RL , Cricket and Football get sport england money to encourage people to play their sports , thats eveybody , men , women ,kids , why shouldn't netball get the same ?
