I see you are a fan of Tre Cool's strategy of saying that nobody is allowed to criticize unless they are in a position to do better than the target. I assume you aren't a professional RL player, so you won't be having any opinions on ours, or any other sides performances in the future? And don't you dare criticize a referee if you haven't reffed at least 50 Super League games.'"
You need to calm down at times! I am no fan of anyone, I am my own person! yes sorry I can't admit to ever having been a referee I will hold my hand up to that!
Of course people have right for opinions and I am not here to defend David Hughes but I will stand by my comment find me any Northern club chairman that has put in as much personal money as he has! I stated clearly we all can make mistakes, but I will be ever grateful that we have David Hughes, he Puts his Money were his mouth is!
By the way I may as well add that I don't like the name London Pride, we would not get away with it with the brewery for one and I think one other major event in the capital uses the name sufficiently.

So we could be named after a hat, a chain of pub-restaurants, two baseball teams, murderers or a mobile phone?

I just said he deserved a basic level of respect. Not that he couldn't be criticised. Can I criticise your spelling of criticise though? very Americanised.

| Has anyone suggested: London Ravens?
I understand it was the name of a gridiron team years ago but it has a link to London unlike Broncos, and they are black, like the Fulham kit.
I think a small time basketball club may have a similar name now but a couple of quid would get the rights off them.

| I'd be open if a business came along and offered the club big money to change the name/have an involvement in the club but I can't see Bill Gates taking an interest in a tiny Rugby League club anytime soon.

| Quote: Patrick Bateman "Has anyone suggested
I like Ravens. At least it's A. Original and B. To do with London. However, I'd just rather we stayed as Harlequins, much better nickname than Broncos. I'd like Hughes to at least consult the fans before making his decision, that's something the club never seem to do. I know people are saying Broncos is linked to RL more than Quins, but we stopped being called Broncos 6 years ago now. How many people, besides RL fans, are gonna remember that name?
Anyway, as I said earlier, what's gonna happen to the Harlequins Rugby League foundation then? The 'London Broncos Foundation' just sounds stupid.
Awesome username by the way!

If you listen to the bbc london rl podcast this week you'll hear a very different opinion from someone who actually works for the harlequins foundation. He was very keen for a name change.

| Well, I listened to it. I heard nothing to change my mind from changing the name back from Quins. It was just the usual excuses being trotted out. "People see Quins and they think Union." How hard is it to distinguish between the brands, especially with "Rugby League" written in big, bold lettering underneath? It just sounds like the usual half-d Rugby League approach, as long as it makes your job easier, than it must happen. All you have to do is say, "no, it's Rugby League." I'm sure the school kids he was referring to, know that they were playing League instead of Union.
