That's what I reckon the kit should be like.
Traditional colours of the Broncos, as well as a continuation of the style from the Quins. Gives them a uniqueness in RL. No other teams play in quarters, so that could be their style (just not the same colours as Quins!).
Hull and Wigan are hoops.
Hull KR and Leeds have a single band.
Saints Catalans have the chevron.
The rest just make it up as they go along!
Think the Broncos will help their identity in RL by keeping the quarters, and help their identity in London by changing the colours! |

The trouble is every time this happens it seems like a great idea but it doesn't address the true problems the club has. I do think they need their own identity. It's just rebranding is often papering over cracks.
Still, completely behind bringing the broncos and their original colours back. Keep it this way now.n

100% agree and so does the CEO, who has informed me that the same mistakes will not be made again. The club is fully aware of where it is, where it needs to be and what needs to be done. I for one believe, that if they fail over the next 3 years, it will not be for lack of effort from the back office staff, lack of investment from David Hughes or lack of support from the Rugby Football League.
The onus is on getting people to games, which in turn attracts more fans in itself, as well as potential sponsors, partners and investors and is key......it is identified as the ONLY thing that is needed apart from a successful team, which will in itself help the cause.
If the 3 year plan pays dividends and the targets are reached, then I can see London RLFC or whatever they are called  relocating to a shared or 100% owned stadium within 6 years. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Nope.....although I did ask for a reduction on the cost of posting goods to New Zealand and instead got the promise of one of the new shirts for free when they are released (xmas 2012 I reckon )

Sounds fair enough 
Have a look on the leythers site tonight , total meltdown , looks like we might be heading into liquidation , simple solution , another 1,500 fans needed ,or a benefactor with 200 K per year to waste , can we have Mr Hughes when you've finished with him ?

Here's a thought...why dont the RFL look at taking over use of the olympic stadium and rebrand it as the countrys national rugby league stadium? Surely publicity for the game down south could would not be better both in the short and long term...
