Wonder if QRL season ticket & semi regular supporters would be willing to put to use their 'wallet's' to provide £150/£175 + each by mid May to sign and pay for 2 top line forwards & 1 big strong centre at least for the rest of this season & again next.

If only 50% of the fan base contributed would hope the 'fans' could for once really 'help' the team in a positive way. Based on a conservative estimate of 1400 fans contributing this year & next the 'pool' for 3 'new' quality players - and perhaps 1/2 more in '11 - should total £448K.

Clearly the concept needs refining but one thing will be vital, namely that the 'pool' be ring fenced from the existing salery 'pool'. As to where to recruit my personal view is to look to recruit British 'passport' holders from Oz playing either reserve NRL or Queensland Cup level. Am sure a number of ex Bronco players & coachs would be willing to acts as scouts and recruiters.

It should be noted that this project could be a fitting commeration of the upcoming 30th season of 'professional' RL in London. We need a top four play-off team by next season and this is a possible route. Clearly the Board are unable or unwilling to take the risk so lets see if the hardcore fan base are willing/able to help - it will cost each of you just over a pint of bitter a week........to become members of the "London 30th Season Crusaders"

Over to you all ....... will be noting the 'moaners' and 'meanies'.......and more important the 'negative' thinkers........ for you will be ever dammed as the 'real killers' of London RL.

Clubby and LMS have regressed over the last two years. If the same happens to all of the other talented young lads coming through then it will all have been wasted.

There has to be a balance between local kids (and they are just that, kids) and imported talent (whether from up north or over the ocean) and the club just isn't getting it right. And that is the coach's fault, he has put this squad together no-one else. For example, Wilkes is a good player, not great but a good super league player. For him to leave Wakefield and come down here the club must have offered him a very sizable increase in his wages. Is he worth it? Instead of signing Matt James and Ryan Esders would it not have been better to sign one big bugger prop forward?

I know it's a difficult job, but I think Brian Mc is consistently getting the big calls wrong which means we have a championship team playing in ESL. Ultimately, that puts off fans and investors.

Very true. Concerns me the same could happen to J O'C and Ben Bolger

Which is why I would like to see someone new at the helm.

Quote: The Curtism "I'm beginning to realise why Big Mac isn't worried. He's playing the long game. He knows that we'll eventually have the talent coming throught he ranks. '"


If only we had a talented coach coming through the ranks. When does McD's contract run out ?
