They did!

I think perhaps 3 people booed - me included.

You know something I'm not surprised!

Well my take on it is that until you get a management who are even half interested in pushing the club forward, the decline will continue. I really sympathise with those fans who make the effort to go and watch but unless there is a real seed change at the top, I do believe that Broncos' days could be numbered.

My July copy of Forty-20 magazine has arrived today and the centrepiece interview is with Clubb about how he doesn't want to play for London any more.

Why exactly was he appointed captain if his heart is not in it?

Perhaps because the people running the club are idiots?

Not an issue, you have ' Byes '

Do the maths? , it doesnt work, I thought you southerners were supposed to be clever?

Well in that case ' Old Chap ' , you can explain the maths then, odd number of teams, odd number of games, away you go?

Still waiting on my maths lesson

Well I'm sure Gus was seen as a nice man as well as Rea, not much going for them otherwise. I Respect David Hughes so much how much he has put into the club his own money! not a loan like a club with a new ground! but why has he never gone for someone with enthusiasm, who knows what they doing? something I can't work out.

Oh dear lets explain in English. Whether you have an odd or even number of teams it doesn't really matter a great deal if you have a play off system to define the winners of the comp. The Winfield Cup in the 80s for example only had 13 teams. Take 1987 for example, the year before Newcastle, Brisbane and Gold Coast joined the comp, they had a top five play off, do look it up.

So apparently it can work.

Jaybs I agree about David Hughes, I've got to respect the money he's put into the club. I don't know a lot about Gus, to be fair. I clashed with Tony Rea back in the 90's, though he told me he used my criticism as a motivational tool! We can only speculate, but for my part, having looked into he backgrounds of some of the non performing payers I was astonished at their previous successes. They have not performed anywhere near that level at London. Something Is seriously wrong, but I don't think we know enough to find whether its the coach, the players, both or neither. My home town club is Wigan, and I saw their lack of success from 1966 to 1983. It only changed when the chairman changed....which takes me back to Mr Hughes. ...

So which club plays one more or one less league match than the rest?

None - there are TWO byes for each club representing the 'missing' home and away fixtures,. In a thirteeen team competition each club plays 24 games with 2 weekends off, with an extra round for the Magic weekend with (as I suggested earlier) the Northern Rail Cup winners coming in to make up the numbers. Then in 2015 we revert to an even number of clubs, perhaps, maybe, who knows (certainly not the RFL!).

Aye

indeed,

Lots of similar stories from various parts of the world as well...when was the last time any of the Rugby Leagues attemted to disrupt a game of union? 1895?
With reguard to England, ppl should seek out an rfu report called rugby in the North, in which those good chaps from twickers discuss the problems facing rugby union in the North of England.

Something we do agree on:


Yep, the hard truth is, you've been let down by the guy who owns the club.

This Northerner hopes that Super League continues in London...as Jaybs posted earlier, your club is a bit of an easy target and infighting is something Rugby League is very good at.
I dunno, hopefully theres someone out there willing to invest and run the Broncs properly.

So you suggest a SL club plays a Championship club for points in SL ?

That's the [ide facto[/i situation for Broncos opponents as is.

Big Nick is so determined to push through change, I'm one like many who believes is there is going to be relegation, there should be a play off between to the teams being promoted and those relegated to see who stays in Super League One.

As far as David Hughes is concerned, I'm sure he is ready to get out himself, but Who? is out there who wants a real challenge to turn a club around in a season, bring in a new CEO and a new coach, to ensure we stay in Super League One and have a ground suitable to stay there long term and at last break through, and show those continuous doubters wrong, that we do bring something to Rugby League, that we are now developing our own players, but most clubs in the North have to bring in some non local players to bring them success.

Ah, with you now. Good point - of course we could always get rid of the fatuous Magic weekend, but that's another topic.

For Super League to be taken seriously by the media and major sponsors we don't need just need just one club in London we need at least half the competition outside of the dreary M62 corridor which was the concept of SL when it was introduced in the 1990's

Where did it all go wrong?

The M62 mafia was never going to allow that to happen

Glad you got there in the end , you arent the 1 st to miss the point, will you be the last?

Probably.

Have a word with the new guy at Fulham & see if you can go back there...

It would be so good to return to our original home! but I think the new owner will have plenty more to think about! it would also mean Gus having to put some work in, any announcement at present would be appreciated, today in an article who will finish with the wooded spoon in the rugby league weekly press, it inferred will be still here in 2014? how can this be allowed to continue?
