I'm not confident Lobster will sort anything out in the time available. Hughes has basically taken his ball and gone home.

Quote: RfE "https

Huge difference between Melbourne & London, not least NRL has people who generally know what they're doing. As opposed to the RFL who have people who bearly know what day of the week it is. The NRL generally have a vision, the RFL are myopic. The NRL generally, perhaps with reservations, seem to be prepared to see the bigger picture. Superleague clubs are riddled with self interest. IMG will have a hard job fulfilling the ideas in this article, especially if there isn't a Broncos team. I certainly wouldn't bother to go & watch anyone else.

Ain't that the truth.

Most rugby league clubs and their fans don't give a monkey's about the the game overall. Success of their hometown team is all that matters. Reduce it to three clubs? Cool. We finished in the top three.

And before someone accuses me of hypocrisy....

I'm not from London and have never lived in London. I moved south in my early twenties, always loved rugby league, missed going to live games. So drifted into watching my new "local" team, 60+ miles away. (When my car got written off it was an all day trip!)

Hooked. Hometown team immediately despised (they're easy to despise).

Luckily (or not) for me, this was the Tank Gordon team.

Still, if we do disappear, '96 and '97 were amazing!

They were indeed Benny & will never be forgotten. Nor Tank's wonderful side either. icon_biggrin.gifANCE:

How can they centrally fund London when the Super League organisation does not have a pot to in. IMG does have millions but it looks like they are putting no money in.In fact it looks like they have taken the clubs for a ride.
https://www.totalrl.com/talking-rugby-l ... questions/

I said years ago, the club should have approached the NRL, offered to take 2 up and coming players from each club in the NRL and put them into the London side.Then hit the ex pat market hard. During the days at the stoop the amount of expats sat in the crowd was huge but then we had a good side with well known Australian players. You had a successful team full of aussies and the crowds would have come but the northerners didnt like that and said it was unfair.
You dont get chelsea fans moaning saying there are not enough Londoners in the Chelsea team.

But dont forget a lot of the RFL money has gone on bankrolling Bradford over the last few years.
