I hear what you say, poor crowd and OK performances but like they say its not about the team performance. RL is right to say they have taken massive in roads in to onion land. More schools are playing league as oppose to onion - it can only help our game.

And how much of the development in London is down to other clubs - the Skolars for example seem to have a great development programme as well.

Does London really need a team in SL to continue this development?

clueless! We have a London team thats struggling to survive and Lewis talks about bringing in another. First where is this second London team and who is paying for it? Look at how many youngsters play for ENgland that are from Halifax! And there are many more on scholarships, academies and even playing first grade in the NRL.

Actually how much of schools and clubs playing RL is down to the Pro club in any area if we are honest? Not as much as we all think, most is down to money coming into the game from Sport England and other sources in education and health, nowt to do with Harlequins et al.
But Lewis will use any reason to justify why they game needs a team in London.

Look if the game was taking off and they were getting big crowds I would hold my hand up and say well done, but it aint and the crowds are pitiful for the size of London come on its huge.
