Quote: "London look like finishing in the bottom half of the table this year, since going part time. London does produce just about enough quality players to form a full-time squad and press for promotion again, with a few imports. But the best get made better offers by bigger clubs in the North, or they stay South and sign for RU clubs, especially the backs. The latter is particularly chawsing. The future of RL in London requires a Super League team, and if that is going to generate the revenue required to sustain it and maintain a full time squad, a suitable location, easily reached from all over Greater London. Plough Lane isn't brilliant from that point of view, but certainly better than Ealing. London needs to be able to match the offers to talented young players which RU can make, as well as those of Leeds, Saints, etc. Not only is more revenue required for that, but an adjustment in the salary cap to allow for the greater cost of living, and especially housing, in London.rlhttps://classicgolfclub.net/which-golf-clubs-should-i-buy/rl'"
It appears to me Hughes has adopted a holding position in recent seasons investing as little as possible pending the IMG restructure. With the benefit of hindsight and given the grading system he may be wishing he had done more. The only future is without him.
