Australians in London don't have the same reputation they used to.

Kiwi politician Robert Muldoon summed it up perfectly when he said:
"New Zealanders who emigrate to Australia raise the IQ of both countries"

Good old piggy



It is strange but when I've been back to Aotearoa my animosity to Australia grows

I hope you're not on the wind-up Lister, that would be amazing news if true.

The only problem I can see here is with the Borders Agency. If the RFL have squared things with them, I await the reaction of our friends in the North with interest

Grant Sharp? article boldly announces in League Weekly, that London Broncos will take no part in Super League next season as the club us on the verge of collapse.

While Geoffrey Bagleys from Leeds, readers letter in League Express says London must not be rescued financially again, then states we all know this has happened at least once previously, evidence, proof?

The Club's future? stated by journalist Sparks differs from what two of we're told just prior and over the weekend. Also Why do Northerners constantly peddle the line about funding we have been given?

Well It was TR who told Lister and you would think he would be the one who [ushould[/u know. If Anthony Kleanthous doesn't take us on under better terms from the RFL then it surely will be over.

Yes I know, my discussion was with a contact, Thursday evening, they did not discuss players, but said we are in Super League next season, that the ground negotiations needed to be just completed. It will be disappointing if we have both been mislead, but then again it may be just a journalist putting 1 + 1 together and coming up with = 3

Be careful we could be called kingston rovers in our title.

Lets hope that if and when we move to the Hive he comes to the games and becomes the main owner in the very near future. We need some money put into marketing in this 'new' location to ensure evryone in the area knows we are playing there.

Exactly what I'm still hearing from my souce. Superleague membership in 2014 is a done deal on already agreed terms IF we provide a suitable ground. Here's hoping the ground hasn't put a spoke in the wheel......

Sounds like we have all heard the same then. Wonderful news

Does that mean the deal about overseas players has been agreed then and its only the ground that is the outstanding issue?

Not agreed unfortunately but its true that we are pressing for it from what I gather.

Well, Gus has been working on that all season, so it must be a mere formality.

Does anyone think that the RFL would go for a relaxed quota for London? Imagine the screams should the Broncos actually avoid relegation.

That said, the performance of most of our Aussies over the last couple of yeas doesn't fill me with confidence. Aside from Bailey, Gower and Soward, the best you can say is that at least Ben Fisher dresses his young son in a Ramones T shirt

I'm hearing all that sort of stuff has been provisionally agreed and signed off by all relevant parties however it is subject to us finding and funding an appropriate ground. If we get the ground the rest should fall into place quite quickly.

I'm not aware of what has been decided re overseas players but as has been mentioned the immigration laws and strong Aussie dollar could pose challenges so we if granted we could end up with people who can get a GB passport from below the current top level.

This all makes a mockery of the licensing system.

The article in League Weekly yesterday, caused a lot of overnight concern, from youth players to people involved at the club. Asked League Weekly for accuracy, no response, not able to contact my source I spoke to last week yet.

It is time for the RFL to speak! if they are all back from their jolly!

What article would that be that is causing concern?

League Weekly? I wouldn't worry about anything they say. Id almost rather read Union Weekly than that tosh.

A youth player tweeted on Saturday that he'd just signed a pro-contract with the London Broncos so cant be going bust soon.

Completely agree about League Weekly(Can't believe their band heading, they are the number one sold RL Newspaper), but it was stated as fact, now other websites such as Super League Fans etc are picking it up, and spreading the allegation, League Weekly now refuse to comment?

As I stated earlier in the thread, I was told in a long conversation Thursday evening, that it was just confirmation of the ground agreement to be settled.

Sloppy journos with an anti-London bias - God that's news?
