Why is this a disgrace?

Presumably Wigan are paying rent to Hemel so they win. Hopefully Hemel will give out free tickets to the participants, which may help them grow their gates. It may just encourage a few people from RU backgrounds to try the sport. In turn that may generate players for the likes of Hemel, who didn't run much in the way of youth set up last season, and St Albans.

The chances of someone of that age range commuting to Wigan for training are tiny. Unless a family re-locates any talent discovered is likely to bolster southern RL for the short to mid term at least. Beyond that, anyone willing to relocate is likely to sign for Wigan Academy over any southern academy anyway, irrespective of where they were discovered.

Anything that gets youngsters playing RL down south will assist the southern RL system. As the apex of that system Broncos could potentially do quite nicely out of any expansion in southern talent base. The known issues with persuading people to move south make such development even more important.

We've lost the right to complain about this but we have to start to put this right ASAP. And for all the well rehed issues about the move to Ealing I'm happy that the Broncos are opening up to us fans and we can start the long road back together.

I feel the same way about you know who.

Is it any different to engineering companies having design offices in India? Any business advantage. RL is business. get your players from where you can. Im just surprised it isn't Jonesey from Warrington tapping in to an area he is familiar with.

Drone, agree with Wire Quin why is there a problem with a club (Wigan) who can help a the likes Hemel to progress compared to a club like London Broncos who can not run a bath.

What's the problem, is this not good for the game as a whole?
If Wigan want to come down here and run a camp like this so what? They have the know how, they have the will, it's going to get kids interested!

This from a man who constantly cries out he wants to develop the game in the south east and try to build support for the club and the game Shame on you

That's me you're quoting by the look of it. I'll play the long game if that's alright by you, and work very hard to see the game succeed without bs short term grandstanding by our Wigan colleagues.

Completely agree!

A with much that happens with Wigan these days. I think it is all smoke and mirrors, done on the cheap, then making extravagant claims as to its success, and for something so successful, it is not repeated.
Will the Home game in London happen again next season. I have my doubts.

They're filling the vacuum created by David Hughes.

& as it's all about obtaining blue chip sponsorship, & not bums on seats, I think they'll be back in 2016 & beyond.

Why should the home game be repeated? It's about building interest in the sport, they brought one game here, there never was a suggestion that if would be a regular event. Obviously Wigan and lenegan still see potential in if not the game then players down here, so why knock something that may achieve greater participation in the area and a greater intestine, you never know us skolars Hemel may even benefit.
Why should broncos not work with Wigan, at the moment it is not as if we are competing with them, they however are provably the most well known team in rugby league and the one most recognised by non league fans and probably the ream most kids would aspire to play for if yr not from rl land.
Let em come let em promote the game, and yes if we can work with em

Cowgirl, yr at it again, why do you feel the need to turn everything into a dh bash

I doubt David Hughes agrees with his shadow.

Co-operation is off the menu I'd say.

Do Wigan still have an office in Buckingham Palace Rd ?
