I'm not sure if you have seen but there are rumours of a potential NY 'franchise'. My hope, small I accept, is that the game begins to get a wider profile and someone sees the potential of a London comes in for The Broncos. There is no question a well managed London club has to be the important franchise for the RFL if expansion is what they aspire to.

Did anyone see Backchat last week? They suggested Melbourne an expansion club in ARL territory was the most successful RL club ever.

Far from this wider approach to Rugby League. Super League has a good chance this season. To Gary Schofields delight. To revert to the M62 corridor, if Catalan get to and lose the Million pound Game. What good will that do for the sport.

CMG you are quite right about the position the club is in, being totally reliant on the benevolence of David Hughes. From what I am told, David Hughes was very upset by the performance of the team at Hull KR. If as it looks we do not get the promotion to Super League that he wishes, will he throw his toys out of the pram. I wonder? It would not be for the first time.
I appreciate that David Hughes bankrolls the club. I am grateful that he does. However the man, is like us all. Not getting any younger. If he loves the club as he surely must. You would expect that he would wish to club to continue and thrive after his departure. I do not know, he may have a plan, I suspect he has not.
Now is the time to either look around for someone similar to himself to come in and at least get involved with an aim to taking over. Or work with the supporters, which is something the club has failed to do so far.

Where do I start......? Nah, I've got too many T-shirts already.
All that has been achieved by the current owner in 12 years is demise....long, slow, draw out death and the vast majority of it is down to his ego and failure to accept he can make mistakes. We should never of left TW2.....the RFL for their part should have let Lenagan remain as a part owner, but the appointment of a coach who was untried and a CEO who should be tried!!!!! Dealt us a losing hand that the cheque writer was in denial about until it was too late.
Northern Bloke asked by the way.....I really wasn't here to open old wounds. I love the clubs' new feel of "vibrancy" but it's no longer a professional outfit....just a well run pub team with a wealthy bloke buying the kit and a diminishing number of fans each year......sad that the likes of Paddock now spend their time (and money) going to Catalans.....but it's easy to blame/ban the likes of me and my negativity and not debate the root cause of the problem!

call me dog! And yr point is?

Hughes to leave. Simple....I've said it for years and 3,000+ have agreed by walking away. He needs to deposit X amount and say "when it's gone, it's gone"....let the club learn what the Skolars have known for years. Sport is a business and staying afloat as a rich mans toy will never end well....

That's my point and always has been! The club will never flourish under the current management style....

northernbloke.....did I stutter?
You asked, I responded and now you've gone schtum?

So DH leave and stop paying the bills? The club will not survive without someone paying the bills simple.
So your suggestion is shut the club down?
Skolars are part time and play in the 3rd tier of the game, not a massive success in my mind

By the way the reason the folk walked away is nothing to do with who owns the club, it's because we kept losing, that's generally what happens in sport

Call me dog....... did I stutter? You have gone Schtum?

Absolute bollox. UK sport is immune to fair-weather fans.......we are 3k light.........that's 90%...are you that conditioned?

st.......st........stu.........
