Martyn Sadler tells me it is Niel, and he has joined then not seconded, why call him Rugby League Boss then? give Dr Koukash dues he is trying to pull out all stops. Salford does seem a RFL priority!

Stick the lethal injection in and have done with it. The Broncos or whatever guise they want to be next year have no good connotations whatsoever and the bad smell from Twickenham will undoubtedly follow them whether it's Barnet or wherever.

1,276 at Skolars on Friday. An attendance higher than three of the Broncos 2013 home games.

So what? That's a one off event marketed to 78k CCup final fans coming to London. They normally get about 400!! We've had over 8k for big games in the past on more than one occasion. Pointless comparison.

I congratulate both The Skolars and The Stags for the work they do, but lets have some reality that is a one off attendance, I see both teams never developing sadly anymore than the stage they are now.

I will remind you of this if the Skolars get promoted this season!

I wish them the Best, I don't mean that will not happen, just that the attendances will never develop to what they need to be, unless in Super League and someone has tons of money to throw in, and more important to be able to do it right! which both the Skolars & Stags seem to attempt to, but it is another complete level.

The what is that the London Skolars are a club who are being managed incredibly well off the pitch by the likes of the Kramer's and Paul Thorman (who is actually leaving) and are producing a side on the pitch that is not only competitive but winning games as well.

Compare that with the clowns at Broncos. Less fans than Skolars in three games despite being a couple of leagues above, no idea what the men in charge are doing and Tony Rea's rabble of rubbish.

Why use the Skolars to denigrate the Broncos? Nobody on here is defending Broncos management but, as you are aware, the Broncos are two league levels above. Your comparison is fatuous.

Wrong. Skolars budget for marketing will be tiny in comparison with a side two leagues above them (the Broncos) and the Skolars marketing staff have done more with their tiny budget than the Broncos staff have in the past...5-7 years. Throw in the game at the HAC and it further highlights the incompetence of the Broncos and how the money the fans have spent has been wasted.
