Not at all.
The Clique harp on about how negative posts have destroyed this forum and how there's nothing we can do about the utter car crash Hughes has made of the club and are thankful that we still have an owner who will continue to invest in the destruction of the club.
The Sullen few are realists. They know what's happened, they know why it's happened and more and more of them are drifting away from the club because it is now to painful to watch!

Clique and sullen few are surely both strange bunches don't you think?
And also there's me and jaybs and a few more.

| Not sure I entirely agree with the consensus, what when wrong for the Broncos in the Soopah Leeeg era isn't much different to what when wrong in the Fulham era, and for me proves you can't build on foundations of sand, because no matter how gorgeous/brilliant your creation it WILL eventually collapse!
When the RFL stepped in and (all too briefly) took the reigns during the Crusaders era, the opportunity to do it properly was missed, and yet more short-termism was seen as a 'solution'.
We didn't need to be gifted out to Brtisbane, nor "gifted" a top-flight berth for a brief flicker of glory. We needed a stadium, a place of our own (which at that time could have been obtained fairly cheaply) we then needed sustained investment (and I'm not talking millions, far from it) in grass roots RL in London and the wider South East.
Instead we got an "ersatz" franchise, cheerleaders (not that I minded the view) face painting and a plethora of "stuff" with no real FOUNDATION!
It's not too late, uif Hughes is still prepared to throw £2M a year at his hobby, perhaps we should have fewer Full time pros, and use the monies saved to build the grass roots (It's 'prolly too late to get our own ground for anything like a reasonable price, so we'll have to continue renting, though perhaps we could actually "Buy in" to a shared stadium).

Never one of the Clique I can assure you, to think back how many posters we had back in the early days here on RLFANS.COM but the Clique did not want them, they wanted it to be exclusive lol and so many left, they attempted it with me, but no luck! lol

Personally, I don't believe that there's any such thing, until someone is able to prove otherwise.

Obviously names move on, that's life, but rose tinted glasses always wear so well.
Now why do you think Big G had so many alt nicks?

| I've said it before. The appointment of Powell as coach was a real mistake. That year we had a full SC spend. If we had appointed a top quality coach that year we would still be in SL.

| Must agree, we appointed the wrong Powell. Daryl Powell was at Fev at the time, should have got him. Where would we be now?
