Championship club fans think they're secretly just as good as superleague shock.

Not what I said......I don't think even Leigh's showing v Leeds this year would make the most rabid fan believe the gap in standards was anything other than massive. The question asked was referring to the Grunt in the Championship and if the children we've signed for next year will be able to cope? Repeated claims that "they'll do a good job for you next year" seem to be based on hope more than knowledge......that's why I asked if anyone had seen any live games this year?

See Joey's press conference. Moore off injured before half time and Foster just after.

Haven't seen any this year but have watched a lot in the past. I think the top teams will surprise people. Even the weaker teams are hugely ahead of Skolars, look how the Championship One promotees usually struggle. (Skolars used as a comparison as a lot of Broncos fans have seen them.)
I think the core of young players Joe is signing are signed with an eye on next season and beyond. My concern would be whether they are streetwise enough for tier two at the moment. I'm sure Joe will be aware of this and look to bring bring a few gnarled old heads who know all about the division.
London will have a big advantage on most of their rivals by being full time. I can see them winning games late on even when the other team look better for the first 60 odd minutes.
I'm expecting the most enjoyable season in years next season. I'm suspect the majority of fans who stick around will enjoy it too. The standard isn't as high, there will be more errors as part time opponents tire late on and some may find that a bit challenging to watch, for me it's all part of the appeal of that level of rugby league. After all these years of watching Broncos, if asked to name my favourite game I'd opt for Crawley 24 Hemel 22 or Batley squeezing home in the Heavy Woollen Derby v Dewsbury a few years ago. There's a lot of good stuff played outside SL.

| I enjoyed my visit to the Hive yesterday. It is a nice stadium and as a visiting fan I was made to feel really welcome. I thought the London fans were great sports considering some of the (tuneless!) banter that was going on but then I've always found the Broncos supporters to be a friendly bunch and I will miss the annual visit to the smoke.
I hope it's not too long before you're back up in the Superleague.
I'll be watching out for your results next season in the hope that you make it into the top four.

I have, and I watched the Championship religiously on Premier Sports for the two years they were covering the leagues.
They are slower yes but there is as much (sometimes more) skill on show in the Championships than in Superleague and their style tends to be more free flowing, less regimented than in Superleague. When I watched on Premier Sports I often found myself preferring Championship rugby to Superleague.
It is just as tough in terms of physicality in the tackle but the pace isn't as fast and so London should come across as a fitter team than their Championship rivals if they remain fulltime as planned. However, I do think that London would be well advised to invest in a few big, aggressive props. They have lacked go-forward in Superleague. Field position is as relevant to Championship rugby as to Superleague rugby. Hopefully Hendo will advise Grima accordingly.

Do you still have a Tommy Sale (legend) stand since you moved?
