Is it relevent for how long, or whether the money was repaid, fact is they did step into the breach with hard cash when it was required. Plus does anyone really believe that all of the developement monies for RL in London came from the Broncos....seriously??????

Even if the RFL had never coughed up, it wouldn't alter the fact that we were gifted top-flight football (as were PSG, Catalans and Crusaders), protected from relegation and allowed to play more overseas players than the rest.

Hmmm....I have seen the profit and loss sheets for the club for the last few years and we receive [upretty much the same[/u as every other club according to these. The only way the RFL could be slipping us a few bob under the counter is if they were "helping" Hughes with some of his losses.

I'm not gonna keep arguing the toss, but London RL did not begin and end with Mr Hughes.

It might end with him though.

Nah, when Fulham finally ended, fewer fans than we have now kept going with London Crusaders, if we have to, we'll do it again.

Theres also the Skolars and a reasonable amateur scene, which there wasn't in '91, so no it really won't end when Hughes pulls the plug.

Good audio description of the new set-up from Ralph Rimmer, RFL COO.

Not mentioned by Rimmer but I assume this rejig will see the demise of the stupid `Club Call` farce in the playoffs.

Not convinced that fans will flock to the playoffs as anticipated....as we all know RL fans (northerners) are not keen on anything that they have to pay extra for over and above their ST (membership scheme in our case).
