A chance for Broncos fans (at least indirectly) to express their thoughts on how well they are engaged by the club. https://fanengagement.net/

Monkey will not like this, I suspect.

Good opportunity for fans to voice views and there is an open question where you can add specifics.

I have had my two penny worth.

I would encourage all Broncos fans to give their opinion.

I have

That is good! I am sure that we all have something to contribute.

It won't resonate with him, just like the decrease to 150 fans per match attendance. As long as he has his cracked branded SC mug full of £20 notes from the 30 No1 fans he's done his bit.

The rebrand long term is more about, the end of Super League as we know it! Media are hardly interested any longer! We need the Dynamic Leader, will it happen if The NRL buy a stake?

Interesting The Workd Cuo is to go ahead, but still Australia have not signed up?

Will the warm up game, take place Saturday to The Challenge Cup?

I doubt much of the country have either not heard of RL World Cup or if they have, don't care. Australia not coming or sending a substandard team is England's best chance of winning.

A small positive, Challenge Cup Final day tomorrow, little mention in media, over local news channels doing no build up? often wonder what RFL media do?

I did hear some adverts on the radio on the way to Ealing last Sunday, Offering tickets at £55.00.

Do you mean they are offering to pay people £55 to go?

I agree. I do not think that I would go, even with a free ticket.

Never did we hear any results to the request for views? about rebrands & relationships, but did we really expect to? Anyway, late last night, news started to break about plans for next season?

It seems the opinion is it would be wrong to relegate Leigh? seems the louder you shout! but it would also be unfair not to promote a team from The Championship! but then the thoughts for 2022, Four teams to be relegated from Super League for 2023 season, as a 10 team Super League would be more attractive to any broadcaster.

This is grim news for all teams outside the top of Super League, the current new Sky deal will be less money to be shared, but with a 10 team Super League, or will it just get another title?? for a ten team competition are they going to bring more money.

This must be why Ralph Rimmer was missing, coming up with this?

You really couldn't make it up. When the only way forward is for more participation, they want to regress.

Bit late to worry about Leigh, they should have thought of that before shafting them on funding. Think they would still have finished bottom though. Didn't worry about relegating us with 10 wins did they?

Martyn Sadler released his plans for the future of the sport this morning, split the teams in 6 Conferences, and what money is now coming in from broadcasting (£24 million) be split down in each conference, top team doing well, but at the bottom, well £80K as season.

London would be in Conference 6, with,

Catalans Dragons

Toulouse Olympique

London Broncos

North Wales Crusaders

London Skolars

West Wales Raiders

How many travelling supporters would that produce? does he want to finish the game completely?

Distribution of income in each Conference.

Team 1: £1.28 million (32%)

Team 2: £1.04 million (26%)

Team 3: £800,000 (20%)

Team 4: £560,000 (14%)

Team 5: £320,000 (8%)

Team 6: £80,000 (2%).

Is he on drugs?

Love to be in a league with Cats & Toulouse but would swap out the Welsh 2 in favour of Carcassonne & Lézignan. Great away trips, might win the odd game, good food & wine.

stopped reading there......

The RL press and to a certain extent forums like this stifled debate a few years back because some posters were banging on about where we were heading as a game....Low and behold, the population of those forums like the sales of the publications has shrunk whilst those doomongers were shown to be bang on the money.

The FACTS as they are now is that SL doesn't generate either the income nor the talent for 12 teams. As a result, there's a movement to further reduce the top tier, ring fence the money and grab the decent players from the 2022 relegated teams to make the 10 slightly better than now.

The result (IN MY OPINION) will be the Top Ten XIII or some other bullcrap name, with 5 games shown Wednesday to Friday LIVE on SKY sports when they've nothing else to show....the fans won't attend on work nights because "it's too bus rides away" and the game in the UK will vanish up its own 'arris inside a decade. I would love to be wrong.......but.

Further retrenchment of the game will only result in greater reduction of tv money so you may well be right. Rugby League is without doubt a 3rd World sport.

For far too long now the wrong people have been running the game, the current head of RFL and the last were simply not good enough, all they do is pocket high salaries. Does not also help owners having so much power, or with Leeds a CEO, they will always have the interest of there club before the sport.

Just don't know how much long we can stay professional? talk last night that running a 5 or 7 side leagues, will be more attractive, thankfully last Saturday The Lion did us a favour with the most boring game ever, 90 minutes game of two halfs, taking 2 hours lol The referee killed the idea of TMO!

Now Castleford suggest Scrap Reserve Grade, and instead 8 a side? make it exciting like the new games in Cricket!

What next? Play Subuteo RL, I had that as a youngster lol
