You might be thinking of the Hard Rock Cafe, which part-sponsored 2-year East London project that ended September just gone and sponsored the Origin series for the past few years. Lenaghan and sports cafe never had anything to do with development work in London.

My Bad



Still, Harlequins RL were "sponsored" by Sports Café and Workplace Systems long after IL was told to leave the club by the RFL, so I would counter he has had something to do with development, given it was his cash that set up and funded the academy that has started to churn out SL players (notice I didn't say SL standard)

Are they still in SL next year then? :\

depends on how much money is left after the RFL bail out Bradford.....AGAIN



Honestly roofs, my communications from the clubs management dried up last week, so I am none the wiser. I'd say if we are in SL next year it will be with little or no investment and as cast iron favourites to drop down (if there's relegation).

I'm not against the RFL helping out any clubs when they can. It is however a little two faced and hypocritical to claim membership of SLE and abrogate the Sky funds and refuse to share ANY with non SL members but when falling on hard times get out the begging bowl for assistance from he very organisation they refused to share with when pigging at the trough of Sky and SL.

As well as being massively financially hit when 1. Being booted out of the original Sl and 2 and 3 being forced into relegation twice when not in a relegation spot.
