Quote: The Phantom Horseman "Not sure if I've misunderstood what you're saying but there are a lot of fairly obvious success stories in terms of playing in SL who have come through the junior ranks at London. As well as Mccarthy-Scarsbrook, there are other internationals such as Tony Clubb, Kai Pearce-Paul, Dan Sarginson, Mike McMeeken, then there's Kieren Dixon who played for England Knights, also Matt Davis, Welsh international Michael Channing, Mason Caton-Brown and there are a handful who will probably rack up more SL appearances next year having switched to full-time teams with Bill Leyland being the obvious one with star potential amongst them.
However I agree with your previous post that the London club has been an absolute basket case in terms of how they have been run for many years, I've been following the Broncos forum on RLFans for a long time and it's been a litany of grim tales of how not to run a RL club and how to alienate the fan base.'"
Thanks for the reply but I am talking currently active players. That list is mainly obsolete now bar the odd couple. And even that list over many decades is very slim compared to most SL clubs.
It was more in response to that being the reason the poster highlighted that London were deserving of SL or exemption. Nobody can ever provide an extensive list that matches most other clubs that’s all yet proceed to use that in justification.
I don’t doubt there are a handful but it’s nowhere significant to call it close to a success imho.
It’s a real shame that the Broncos have been run as they have because I’d hazard if they’d been smarter and more efficient they perhaps could be in a much more prosperous position today.
