Why? Are you worried that if the London Broncos are revived, reinvigorated, and catapaulted back into Super League that the Bradford Bulls will be stuck in the Championship for years?

Why does it have to be London Broncos that he acquires? I'd rather see money invested in a club with a few more fans, a history that stretches past 1980, and with the potential to draw more supporters in should they achieve promotion.

When I am in Sydney in late September-early October (to see the NRL preliminary finals and the Grand Final) I will try to encourage an interest in investing in the London Broncos in the minds of some very wealthy Australians. Harry Triguboff would be only one of many wealthy Australians who like rugby league.

In my opinion, it would not even be a bad idea if News Corp., or a member of the Murdoch family, were to buy the London Broncos. It would enable the Broncos to be properly funded and placed under rational business management. It would also give the Murdoch family a separate voice from within the game, that could influence the future of the Super League and Championship in ways that would promote national (English) and international (French) expansion at the professional level.

Do you think that London Broncos has spent its maximum possible under the salary cap during the regime of the current owner?

I KNOW that they spent full cap 2009-2012 seasons from the accounts that were presented to the owner by the then CEO in 2012 as a reason for the name change and then the move.....proving money won't buy you success, especially if you employ s!

Your drug dealer really does sell some strong gear doesn't he.

Shouldn't this be on the NRL forum Jean?

It is a news story of international significance in my opinion.

I am trying to draw out some implications for the northern hemisphere.

What could possibly go wrong with private ownership? Cough tinkler cough.

Tinkler is an exception to the rule. He is an eccentric to put it mildly, not to mention being of similar physical construction to Nigel Wood..

A better example would be the News Corp ownership of the Cowboys, the Storm and the Broncos over many years. They have now sold their interest in all but the Broncos. Those private ownerships have hardly gone badly for the clubs one would think.

The Gold Coast Titans could do with a billionaire benefactor as well.

The Broncos have had Branson for christ sake they don't come much bigger or successful than him

They've also had Brisbane Broncos own them

Oh yes, that's exactly how it works.

From what I understand, Richard Branson dropped his ownership of the London Broncos because he couldn't abide the coaching of Anthony Rea (aka "Tony Ray"icon_wink.gif.
