Quote: retirethename "Do not panic. NRL to take over club, The Hive is a done deal. London Exiles the new name, colours green, yellow, black and white. Each NRL club to send one first team player plus one from their reserve grade side. No Northern RL players allowed. Five top London RL players to be retained in a 30 strong squad. 13 Kiwis, 13 Aussies and 5 Londoners No P&R for five years to allow team to grow. Wayne Bennett as coach. Dixon as captain.

Only one downside Gus to remain as CEO. Another great opportunity lost.
Sounds a bit familiar ..... Barry Maranta and the then Brisbane Broncos board said much the same....ish.'"
I honestly and sincerely hope you guys survive all this. I don't particularly mind the dispensation player wise, but......With relegation a real danger for my club I'd be very disappointed if the RL gave you five years of no relegation, that really would be a bridge too far!
