"The Broncos" will still play at The Stoop, they'll still have the same backers, they'll still have the same players, they'll still be at the bottom of the table, they'll still be watched by a couple of thousand, they'll still be crap.

I disagree. It will be a rebirth with marquee signings to replace the current dross.

Ok Rupe -

Where is this money for marquee signings coming from?

Is it coming from the same pot as the money for rebranding/'rebirth'?

Also, where has this money been for the last four seasons, where the strength and depth in the squad has slowly be whittled away?

Today's Yorkshire Post reports that after last weeks loss to Warrington, the Hull KR owner stormed into the changing room and lambasted the team telling them they had to win the next four games. Result then???

I strongly believe that David Hughes has woken up and realised that losing x per season of his own money on a third rate outfit is a waste of time and money and that without further investment from himself to create a competitive team then applying for a Superleague franchise next time out is pointless. Gus Mackay himself referred to 'marquee signings' for next season so further investment has obviously been found from somewhere.

Rupe, you are seriously deluded if you believe 2012 as Broncos will be some sort of glorious rebirth. We will still be at The Stoop, still fielding a team with no strength in depth, and still with a rookie coach.

As for the game, the second half was back to the p*** poor showing before the "glory" of last weekend. No urgency, no apparent passion, no speed, no nothing really. The first half showed a good bit of promise, but we managed to implode with the try right on half time, and the other straight after the interval. As soon as HKR scored that second half opener it was game over really. I wonder if the scoreboard is equipped to show triple digit numbers bearing in mind the next four home games...

I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg



Today was pathetic! what happened to to same team that performed last week, Hull KR wore their hearts on there sleeves and showed us up in the end, the usual inconsistency if anyone came for a first time last week and enjoyed it would they come again? No! except the few die hards that post here.

It is easy to knock off the sidelines at David Hughes, this season has been a disaster and we have to accept it, what would be the point of throwing money at the team and marketing now? completely None! it would be money down the drain. All we can do is sit back for 4 more weeks and see if we are awarded a Licence, if not, then give up the dream finally, I will just stick to my West Ham and hope we can gain promotion from The Championship, even though I hate our new manager bog Fat Sam!

IF we DO get a Licence, then I genuinely believe there has to be some substance in the way the club will be looked at in 2012, yes we Have to stay at The Stoop for the time being, NO! we do not have to keep the name, thank goodness of Harlequins RL any longer! Will David Hughes bring in the marquee players I do hope so and a Top Coach to work with Rob Powell, is there going to other funding for the correct Marketing? again I Hope so, Wigan get it right! though a club like St Helens like us don't?? are the RFL going to make sure we get it right off the filed again I Hope so, perhaps Sky will make this work once and for all! all the whining in the world can do nothing until we know If we are getting a Licence, then we have to give it a chance and get behind The Club, whatever.

Yes I know I will get knocked! but if I have stuck it since the Fulham days and with West Ham with all our ups and downs since the early 70's I am not going to jump ship yet!

Well f**k my hat, I didn't know that! Come all without, come all within, we're London Broncos not the H********s!:16679.jpg



2nd half was abject today, toothless and clueless. Was listening to BBCLondon on the way home , I know its their job to big us up but they must have been watching another game!

KR's defence was very strong and we had no attacking guile to get round it.

Our support play was non-existent - must have seen maybe 3 breaks in the second half where the ball carrier looks around to offload and there's no-one there!

Several players out there were not fit enough for 80 mins of RL - Dorn was clearly still suffering from last week's injury, Melling didn't look too clever and now it looks like Randall and Wilkes are on the injury list too. Time to blood a few of the kids? Or do we try and bring in more loanees? And what's up with Karl Pryce? Is he injured? Cos if he's fit and not playing why are we paying him to be idle? On paper our 19 for today looked good but in practice........(you can finish this sentence if you like)

Very disappointing today, especially so as there seemed to be a real bit of a buzz in the West Stand , people seemed to be confident about today's game - how misplaced was that? Think the match announcer put the kibosh on things when he said 'a win today will see us go above HKR!!'

Have we seen our last home win this year?

Now that is really debatable! a company I did freelance work for one of the directors was a director at Bolton and I was always invited, always fell asleep!
