....Hughes, who has personally bankrolled the club since Richard Branson ended his interest a decade ago, is thought to have threatened to withdraw his support after failing to receive guarantees over the club's Super League status, following the decision to reinstate promotion and relegation from the end of next season.......... the club would need special dispensation to exceed the overseas quota to enable them to put together a side in time for their opening match at Widnes on February 16.

Would I be overly cynical to see this as an attempt to secure the Broncos' future in SL by the back door?
Step 1 - let as many players leave at the end of the 2013 season as possible;
Step 2 - enter Admin/plead poverty to gain dispensation to recruit overseas players beyond quota;
Step 3 - put a squad together that's strong enough to get enough points to overcome any deduction and avoid any relegation.
I genuinely hope that London survive and can at least be competitive next season, but whatever the outcome it should be on a fair playing field across SL.
