Half backs / Southern Players : Sun Mar 01, 2015 10:13 pm  

Are they both injured? Is that why you have two loan players?

Also, how many of your squad are from London / the South? Seemed like you had a lot of Aussies playing for you.

We had 6 Non British players in the 17 today.

As for the half backs, our starting 7 was injured long term during pre season & our 6 was concussed last week.

O that's not as bad as I thought...... Its a shame you can't keep hold of your local talent (LMS, Clubb etc..)

How many players from London (or the South) do you have in your squad, do you know?

Alex Walker, Illiess Macani, Harvey Burnett, Joe Keyes, Oscar Thomas, Jon Wallace, Toby Everett, Joel Wicks. There are probably more but my memory is fading.

Yeah thats quiet a lot.

You need these players for Rugby League to be sustainable in London.

Your crowd was disappointing against Leigh, but then again, travelling up north every other week must be expensive for the fans!

I wonder why Rugby League in London can't attratc any fans? Is there a stigma that rugby union is the far superior sport? Suppose Londons main sport is Football, and not a lot will change that really!

Mate its an enduring question.
Our biggest issue is not football yawnion ice hockey American football, or any other sport, it's down to the fact at the moment the product is so poor. With a team that loses every week getting bodies through the door gets harder and harder.
As for our away support, strewth if you think that was poor then you don't know London broncos, seeing another London shirt at an away game in super league was a novelty

As a Leigh fan I wasn't disappointed at all. About as many as I expected but I was surprised at the class they showed. Applauding the Leigh tries as well as their own and the continual appreciation for the kids walking round at half time.
I have no doubt your team and results will improve throughout the year and wish you all the best for the rest of the season.
Sorry for drifting off topic.

The 50 of us who were in Leigh were a credit to the club.
