Rather than waste my time conversing with you it might be better if London Broncos biggest supporter Gutterfax explains to the rest of us precisely what positives his club has brought to the world of rugby league since Super League was formed in 1996.

How long has this been on the cards for? How many warning signs do you need? The way the London players celebrated winning the last game of the season suggested they already knew the clubs fate. Yet looking at the 2014 fixtures the RFL didn't see this coming...seriously? icon_eek.gif

I thought SL didn't have a sponsor because the RFL spent all their time micro-managing the clubs?

No idea what the solution is, just gutted for the London fans.

A glance at his posting history shows he pops in now and again to offer his "antipodean" point of view on his hatred of the Burgess Brothers, James Graham and a lack of understanding about London's unique set of challenges.

Back on thread, if London don't make it, then I would suggest any Championship Club that is given the nod will be protected from Relegation.....causing uproar at certain other clubs and therefore negating the need for "changes" and giving the RFL a way to back down to Lenagagn and the rebels without losing face.

The Irony of this is that the new investor the club had lined up wanted assurances about P&R.....the chances are as a result of us going to the wall their will be no P&R Next year.

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.

Quote: Roofs "Keighley should have got the spot all along.
Agreed.

Keighley Cougars won the 2nd division in 1994/5 (finished above London Broncos), had an average crowd in the second division that had just overtaken first division Bradford's (c5,500), a squad capable of a top half finish in the then first division - but were denied promotion and excluded from the new Super League. All water under the bridge now of course. But likely Keighley would have been in a much better position now than are London.

Is it just me, or, does anyone else think the RFL are going to offer a SL lifeline to the London franchise?

There’s London going into admin, Wakey selling off the crown jewels, Bradford chopping & changing the money men.

Then there’s the alleged changes to the quota structures & all with a backdrop of certain clubs posturing over Red Halls ineptitude.

I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, but I feel something is going down icon_confused.gif .

Ah yes... the classic 'you're a troll' comment from someone who can't provide an answer to a question.

It was actually a genuine enquiry on my behalf. You are well known for your outspoken (and usually incorrect) views on all things 'London' and I was curious to know exactly what your club has brought to the world of Super League since 1996. I freely admit to not knowing the ins and outs of that particular franchise but I'm genuinely struggling to think of any positives.
