Quote ="Hedgehog King"Given that Wakey, Bradford and Salford have come close to bankruptcy in recent times, what makes you think that the Sky money could reduced to the M62 clubs without bankrupting them?'"
All I am saying is compare the expansion clun in the NRL to the exansion clubs we've had in SL over roughly the same period. I am fully aware that the RFL don't have the cash to break the bank in London, but without David Huhghes, RL would be a northern pastime once again in the eyes of the media (who will go OTT when we do fold by the way) and what few sponsors the game has already.
Central funding of the Melbourne Storm has enabled them to get a foothold in a city dominated by AFLin the same way London is dominated by soccer.........and I say it again, if SKY demand a team in London to assure us of the TV deal, then it'stime they paid for one. If they don't care, then let the skolars fly the flag.
Speaking of News and Melbourne......it would seem uncle rupert has a few bob going spare now....
