Mickyb I was born in Wigan and watched them fail to win a major trophy for the first17 years I followed them,and saw them get relegated . I have followed London around the capital since i moved here in 1982, including doing a coaching course with the Crusaders in the 1990s. Your suggestion that some of us are glory hunters is getting as tedious as it is inaccurate.

Rugby league clubs in London existed before Broncos, they even exist in places like Coventry, Birmingham, Bristol etc that have no SL side and never have had.

Indeed they did mostly no more than a pub team with no development structure. The conference and Student RL have developed the game no end. However in the areas you state how close are any of them to entering the pro/semi pro ranks. And how many players over the years from these areas has gone on into professional rugby league ie before SL?

By the way Coventry had a RL team in the Northern Rugby League between 1910 and 1912.

Swindon no more Bath no more! reading? no more.

I wonder my blood
Will you ever return
To help us kick the life back
To a dying mutual friend

We've had good squads and good attendances (occasionally) in the past. This squad is god-awful, but there's no reason we cant turn it round with (another) fresh start. This is all getting a bit melodramatic, we were always going to get well and truly smashed by Wigan. We only beat one pro team on the way to the semi FFS!

I think DH has put his faith in people who should have done a better job of recruitment. TR isn't one of these people and deserves a chance to build.

I would add that telling players at the start of the season their contract would not be renewed plus the uncetainty of whether we would be continuing past this season has probably contributed to the underperforming of this squad.

Maybe, but they weren't performing before either so I cant see it made any real difference. The experienced players like Melling and Dorn have looked like amateurs this year and you cant just blame the club for that. Get rid, start again.

Not sure you can have a pop at Curtis - always seemed to give 110% and I was pretty sad not to see him out there on Saturday instead of a fairly anonymous loanee called Fairbank

Hi folks as a Wigan fan I do hope you get through this rough patch, games against London have always been good games. I would hate to see London leave the super league but with P&R it will be in your hands

unless we cheat and break the cap should we ever face the drop...

You could equally argue it should have been an incentive to perform and attract interest from other clubs. Maybe the problem is we have too many lazy losers in our squad who are likely to have dwelled on the negative.
