No offence but Broncos are clearly one of those mid-ranking clubs looking to reduce their expenditure. If the RFL did push an elite league that condemned the mid-sized clubs to oblivion then Broncos are going to be the first casuality.

Personally I think that it is vital to the game's health that mid-sized are kept alive. Huddersfield and Salford would have been written off if an elite league had been created 5-6 years ago.

I'm not gonna keep arguing the toss, but London RL did not begin and end with Mr Hughes.

It might end with him though.

Nah, when Fulham finally ended, fewer fans than we have now kept going with London Crusaders, if we have to, we'll do it again.

Theres also the Skolars and a reasonable amateur scene, which there wasn't in '91, so no it really won't end when Hughes pulls the plug.

Good audio description of the new set-up from Ralph Rimmer, RFL COO.

Not mentioned by Rimmer but I assume this rejig will see the demise of the stupid `Club Call` farce in the playoffs.

Not convinced that fans will flock to the playoffs as anticipated....as we all know RL fans (northerners) are not keen on anything that they have to pay extra for over and above their ST (membership scheme in our case).
