Quote: Southern Reiver "Not sure you got the point. Portsmouth, Coventry, both Sheffields, Leeds. All have had poop management and Brighton is a great example of a club that had years of rather crap management but people still sign for them.
One of only 14 fully pro clubs we can still draw players if they ain't mummies boys. Two sides to the equation can and can't, depends which side you want to sit on.'"
I didn't bring tail end premier clubs to the table. All I did was point out the glaring difference between the bottom of the premiership with the "journey men" types who seem to get contracts at these clubs AND the London Broncos who currently have half a team in training with a handful of weeks until the season starts. I'd also point out that whilst fitness and tactics are important in soccer, fitness and tactics are EVERYTHING in top flight Rugby League. London Broncos will start the season well undercooked in both areas and will do well to be competitive with the other bottom tier clubs whilst getting absolutely hammered by the top tier. I'll cheer them on either way...it's a form of insanity!
