Quote: Wire Yed "There was a point in time in which London played in a CC final, there was a point on time London stuck 60 on us with Tony Smith in charge.
London have been let down badly, they were going great, they were making great strides under Leneghan and then he went to Wigan and was forced to severe ties by thr RFL.
The amateur scene in London is huge, the people behind the scenes work very hard and the only thing that let it down was the owner and the CEO. You're judging a whole Metropolitan County, the largest in terms of population in the whole of the UK based on 2 people who have let the club down very badly, they are at constant loggerheads with the amateur scene, they don't endear themselves to the fans and because of this the crowds dropped off, this as had a knock on effect and now we are where we are.
Cutting ties with London is silly, the game is on the verge of somethong good here, it's slowly caught on and because of 80 minutes of gash rugby you're writing off the whole London RL dream.
Living here over a decade I've seen it go from "What? There's two types of rugby?" ignorance to people turning themselves away from union and taking up league.'"
I don't think the OP mentioned cutting ties with London. He just stated what most people are thinking that they are a shoe-in for relegation and deserve to go down if they finish in the bottom 2.
Its great the amateur scene is flourishing in the capital, and I'm sure the fans have been let down badly. But the Broncos should still go down if they're not good enough to be in SL.
