To be fair to him, I think a lot of our former players are disgruntled
a) Mainly because of the way they and their friends were treated at the end of 2013
or
b) Because of the way the club has been run.
There are some who both of the above apply to.

Super League certainly doesn't need Hughes & MacKay.

With him we appear to be dead in the water.
He's a terrible owner.

| Jonathan Clarke came out of Prison and was directly signed by the London Broncos and it would be a fair bet to say that he would probably have taken an alternative Northern offer from a Super League club if one was available; we may very well have been his only SL option.
Without our club at the time he may well have been semi-professional in the North and have retained the lifestyle which had previously seen him brawling and breaking necks and which has caused him trouble. A break for a year must have reinvigorated his career.
We also agreed to loan him to Warrington where he managed to obtain a permanent new deal and spend the majority of his career.
We have been fundamentally important to him.
But the difference between a man and a dog, is that if you look after the dog it will not bite you.

| Gutters is like an older brother, he'll make the younger brothers life hell, he'll beat him black and blue daily until he becomes an adult...BUT if anyone else tries it, he gets all defensive and beats up the other guy and protects his brother. You're an odd chap Gutters

| Does Super League need London? The simple answer is probably no however, for Rugby League to be taken seriously by the masses it needs a competitive International structure and to do that it needs to be competitive nationally. Over recent years we (England) have fallen way behind the Aussies and we have even picked players who, although qualify for England, are not English (would any of them get in an Aussie or NZ team?) The player pool from the 'heartlands' is not enough.

| I think you'll find Sky only upped the ante for RL when the RFL confirmed that SLE would include a London club, I'm not sure of the new agreement, but the 2 x 12 into 3 x 8, would mean that London could be relegated but still feature in Sky's broadcasting.
So everyones happy, WE ofcourse, will be happier if we lodge ourselves firmly in the 1st 12 on a regular basis!
