I think we need to accept that the game will always be a M62 competition. Look at all the effort and investment put into the SL initial years, we've never really come close to the expansionist optimism of Paris v Sheffield. There is no market for the game in London, or anywhere else in the UK really, and the investment needed to create one is far far beyond the finances of the sport.

All the angst over the years about mergers, Odsal, franchise points, MPGs...and here we are with the same handful of northern clubs kept afloat by a few local businessmen. This is what RL is and that suits most owners and fan just fine. Why pay IMG for some pipe dream plan most of the owners won't back? Personally I'd love the game to grow geographically but at some point we need to concede defeat.

Christ that was a hard watch….think that’s London last chance for a win as got Warrington and Catalans away last 2…we just got to avoid getting batterd,don’t finish bottom then Degsy can belt up.

It was almost like Huddersfield didn't want to score, even the last try was just keeping the ball and luckily the defender slipped.

what a diabolical game that was and us apart what a state the game is in if this is our premier division and they (and us lot) serve up that. One decent game this weekend for me. How a team like Leigh with their attendances are under threat and the Giants with gates that look around 2000 stay in is mystifying. Still poor old Degsy!!!!!

that pitiful effort v Leeds on friday night has wiped out our 100+ point advantage over London, now its only a 49 points difference, if we keep shipping points and London keep scores tight, even if they dont win, they could still go above us with a better points difference!

hopefully a bit of personal pride and effort in the next two weeks from our players should be enough motivation not to finish bottom!

what about bringing Tinkering Tony back as a motivational speaker
