I seem to recall in the past, Hetherington has done more than his fair share to screw London, but he knows how to run a club which is what we need.

Has he ? I thought he’d been broadly supportive.

Denied by Hetherington himself.

It's looking likely that the Brisbane Broncos are trying to secure a controlling share of the club!!! https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/32882156 ... by-league/

Have they not heard of the saying "once bitten twice shy"?

There were a couple of things that he could have been supportive of Broncos but chose not to be. Sadly my poor old brain is struggling to dig them out of a dark recess. Maybe Orangeman or somebody else can remember.

A lot to unpack the last few days.

It's a shame that the North Wales game didn't go ahead. Goole will be tough anyway, going in cold makes it that bit tougher. If the team named was an indication of the team for the start of the season, it's just about not getting cut adrift.

On the takeover, it sounds as though it's happening from what Eccles said. Both Hetherington and the Brisbane Broncos sounds attractive propositions.

What’s not to like ? The most financially successful club in RL buying in.
