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 |

At least we won;t have to suffer the horrific shirts anymore!
Now all they need is a ground, a marketing team and decent squad!

Can understand why they've gone back to Broncos, but should have been London RLFC for mine.

The best squad London has assembled for years, possibly since a second-placed finish, so I would say that a decent squad is there, but the other two might be a tall order for London. |

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

Would Brisbane Road be an option for London Broncos own home?'"
It's worth a lot more for housing than as a sports ground.
Barry Hearn bought it from the club for £6m; they pay £180K a year rent to use it.
The 4 corners of the ground were sold for flats - for more than 7 million in 2003. Presumbably the rest of the ground would be worth more than that. |

So you'd have to be asking the government for help with a grant wouldn't you? Can't see Sport England having enough sway to refuse that kind of money either. Cheers Jon.

Sport England just gave netball £1m to encourage women to play netball, I'll repeat that, Sport England just gave netball £1m to encourage women to play netball. Sport England are really flipping stupid and have had their budget cut by a third, so they seem to be intent on wasting their money, unfortunately not on rugby league. |

So you want sport England to give netball 1 million to encourage women to play RL ? 
Now that would be stupid |

They give just short of £8 million per year to rugby league. As our adult participation numbers are on a par with sports like Korfball, it could be argued that we do extremely well out of Sports England. One of the undisputably good things that Richard Lewis has done for the sport. |

Yeah right, don't you say that every year. Oh and some extra fans would be a nice addition. |
