| Hi Guys. Mr Clarke is actually right in some aspects, though a little silly to say it in the press. Super League doesn't need a poorly supported team either home or away and one which has had several supposed homes over the last 10 years and NONE have worked. What it fact needs is a club like London/Harlequins/Broncos??? to start at the bottom and really work at the roots of the sport and not fast track with no substance and a serious disregard of rules, i.e. foreign players, wages to income, etc.. This off season London and Bradford have been a blot to our fantastic game, with their off field antics.
As for Widnes, growing crowds, a huge depth of talent that has come through, great stadium, growing within the guidelines and OH I actually think they where the first official world champions beating a star studded Canberra side which would be the envy nowadays of any Aussie side let alone English
Enjoy the game Saturday, where I am sure London will show their true colours as Widnes open up the away end for the masses!!!

| Gutters is like an older brother, he'll make the younger brothers life hell, he'll beat him black and blue daily until he becomes an adult...BUT if anyone else tries it, he gets all defensive and beats up the other guy and protects his brother. You're an odd chap Gutters

The people who shrug off data breaches & the like are odder if you ask me.

| Does Super League need London? The simple answer is probably no however, for Rugby League to be taken seriously by the masses it needs a competitive International structure and to do that it needs to be competitive nationally. Over recent years we (England) have fallen way behind the Aussies and we have even picked players who, although qualify for England, are not English (would any of them get in an Aussie or NZ team?) The player pool from the 'heartlands' is not enough.

| I think you'll find Sky only upped the ante for RL when the RFL confirmed that SLE would include a London club, I'm not sure of the new agreement, but the 2 x 12 into 3 x 8, would mean that London could be relegated but still feature in Sky's broadcasting.
So everyones happy, WE ofcourse, will be happier if we lodge ourselves firmly in the 1st 12 on a regular basis!
