Apparently the only NRL club that owns its own ground is Cronulla, and a fat lot of good it's done them. As an aside, what always puzzles me about Australian grounds is how little covered accomodation a lot of them have - looking at the Penrith game on Monday there didn't even appear to be a lid on the seated areas, no wonder the crowd was so bad.

Im also unconvinced about the fitness level as well. If we didn't make so many unforced errors and give daft penalties away - how many was it in first 10 minutes against Widnes - and used our bench to the full we wouldn't be so shattered by the end of matches. Because of our one dimentional play the same players are getting the donkeywork to do in each game so it is unsurprising they are worn out.

Yeah Snoopy, I think the fitness thing is a red herring. If there's one thing that all SL clubs should be at similar levels in is fitness. We apparently linked with St George prior to the season start with an aim to following their fitness regimes etc and we have a very experienced man in charge of strength and conditioning (ex Hudds and Penrith).

Players look jaded when they are making mistakes and have lost their confidence. We score highly in both those factors, imo.

I give about as much credence to most of these 'rumours' as I do articles in the Daily Star, and am surprised most of you are giving them serious thought.

As a serious point though, where on earth is the money going to come from to develop the New River? Are Haringey Council and the RFL going to magic some cash from somewhere? The development world is struggling for private sector investment as it is, even if certain parties put the land in at nil value. Some of you live in a complete fantasy world.

As for Penrith, there are covered areas in the main stand, but yeah, you are right. Funny though ain't it. Don't forget it's always sunny in Sydney Oh apart from the torrential rain of the last week or so and set to continue.

The Skolars have been trying for years to take over New River, if the RFL have investment funds they would be assets (ala Odsal) and would be a good investment. Never say never.

Wouldnt mind Sarginson at Leeds!

I think he's a little over-hyped at the mo personally, he has a very good step but that's about it.

A good step that seems to step him back into traffic- I had heard he was off

If anyone is interested, it was the QUINSSA AGM last night. Not being one eyed about my rugby, went along as the Quins RU Chairman & CEO were due to speak. Oh and the Aviva Trophy was there too. I knew it was quite a big cup but turned out to be a very big bugger indead

From a Broncos perspective it was quite sad to hear that they have sold 10% more Season Tickets already than last year & how sponsors want to throw money at them. But I guess that's what winning things does for you. They are looking at the financial viability of installing a big screen too.

Anyway the important bit I wanted to mention was that when pressed by a QUINSSA member about the Broncos continuing there, the CEO stated that Broncos have a contract with them for 1 more year. He also said that NO negotiations of anysort had taken place. He expects us to see out the contract. Somebody is telling porkies.

As someone who fell for Strudwicks Life Menbership scam stumping up hundreds of pounds back in the day, I shouldn't be surprised at the current state of the club. Maybe we need a little of that Struddy magic
