Keighley should have got the spot all along.

So the re-introduction of P+R which would attract all these investors in to the game who were staying well away because of franchising is in fact driving away investment from an SL club because of the instability of P+R.

Someone mentioned that that if London are to have a team they will have to have exceptional dispensation about their number of Federation trained players.

Which players from the NRL have not been signed as of now?

The only quality ones whom I know of are Anthony Minichiello and Blake Ferguson. Ferguson's future in the NRL is clouded. Ferguson, if he was signed he would be far and away the best centre in Super League. But he has a court case to deal with sometime in the coming months. And he would probably be a bit expensive. Minichiello (who may yet be re-signed by the Roosters) would be more affordable and give stability in the backline. But he would not come unless he knew that he had some other quality players to make up the team. Then there is Anthony Milford, who wants a release from his contract with Canberra on compassionate grounds -- which entails him going to Brisbane. So I cannot see him being luredf into going to London or Canberra releasing him.

The club needs three quarters, halves and forwards. I cannot see where these players are going to be found, and if they could be it would require a lot of money to be invested and a guarantee of a new quality coach and a new CEO.
