In terms of what do we really know, tickets, signings, staff, dev.
Has anything actually happened since end of last season apart from releasing everybody and Barnet announcement?

A group of enthusiastic and dedicated supporters (rlhttp://rllist.wordpress.com/rl) have been discussing the best way to take the game forward in London. An Open Meeting is being planned to hopefully coincide with the first home game to launch a Supporters Trust.

First comment I have seen, in today's weekly rugby media, Gus says there are signings nearly ready to confirm, but these are delayed due to obtaining visa's with Christmas, and no names will be confirmed until all paper work is completed.

Don't know but they do seem to down underhttp://stevemascord.com/2014/01/04/travels-xxvi/rl

Lend us players i understand but money? whats that all about?

According to the Barnet Chairman Tony Kleanthous we have invested 'heavily' in signings. Hmmm.....

We've spent up to the salary cap in each of the last two seasons, and look where that's got us!

who exactly are "we"?

Tony K has invested not a brass farthing in the London Broncos, so the only revenue we currently command is the SKY cash and David Hughes cheque book. David Hughes has cut back his level of investment this year and as we are let to believe that we are baying The Hive for various administration functions, the "heaviness" of recruitment is open to question.

Exhibit A.
Nesiasi Mataitonga. 2012 Under 20's Cronulla player who played 10 games that season, who seems to have dropped down to reserve/part time grade in 2013 is our first confirmed overseas player. If this guy is on "big money" then it shows how inept the recruitment process is at the club...he is one of very many NRL U20's that don't make the grade (Rooster will back me on this) who drift into the part time/second string comps...he is not a top dollar investment!
Exhibit B.
Nesiasi Mataitonga is indicative of the standard of player left available to the club. Regardless of when the discussions started, unless we are paying transfer fees, then all we have are Nesi types and loanees from the NRL who may be on wages that their clubs would be happy for us to pick up.

Back to the income that is paying for all this. DH put 2.2 million into the club in 2012. The other 2.2 million that year came from SKY, Sponsors, match day revenue and season tickets. We've given up on match day revenue and season tickets and we currently don't have any sponsors. Rather than wean ourselves OFF Mr Hughes cash, we have actually made ourselves more reliant on it.

When signings are announced I'd imagine a fair few Wigan players may be loaned to London.

As has been said elsewhere, hopefully they remain at Wigan until the last minute and will arrive fitter than the rag-tag bunch we have running up the slope at underhill

A friend of mine is on the coaching staff at Salford and you have asked them for 4 loan players this season, he did also say that they were not the only club London had approached and you were looking to field a team of mainly loanees this season.

The Broncos

He referred to us as "they"

Hence the new name: the Loandem Drongos

I can't back up anything when it's wrong or presumption. eg. 1. who said Mataitonga will be on big money? 2. Being in the U20s, playing reserve grade is a step UP, not down as you stated. 3. He would be on his U20s contract which means he would have to either be in study or working which is an NRL policy. 4. The recruitment process of a club that wasn't 100% sure it was going to be around until a short time ago yet were still hunting round for players for months is not inept. 5. You don't know what's going on. So keep schtum and stop chucking your usual dung at the club. 6. Wait until the club tells us what's going on as it says it will, in the antipodes as it doesn't affect our lives.

FYI, I'm surprised you didn't have a go at the club because we missed out on signing a Manly prop (in yesterday's Syd Daily Tele), who decided to stay in oz because his wife's just had a baby.

I will see if I can kidnap a couple of Origin players and bring them back in my suitcase.
