If London were to get into Super league ( but I doubt) could the one million pound extra not buy a core of ten good players on one year contracts.By past coming and goings, the contracts of rugby league players at all all clubs are not worth the paper they are written on, so could a team not go out and but these players on one years contracts with terms of 70k a season and if you stay up will match that for the nest season.The extra one million would cover this and with David Hughes wallet it is more than feasible to top up the rest of running the club which he does every year anyway.

what would the average wage be of a player in Superleague ?

Doubt we could still sign enough top players for Super League, players available have been signed by now?

No surprise last night that the League Express owner said he has received Bradford Bulls 500 word submission, why they deserve the 12th place in Super League along with 4 other clubs, only one club had not responded, no prize for guessing!

I must have missed the part in the criteria which stated we have to send some random journalist a statement when he demands it.

Bloody Broncos not reading the RFL criteria properly again

Really. I my opinion, Journalists should be treated as allies no enemies.
A good professional sports club. In any sport. Needs a positive relationship with the media, all media.

Nobody mentioned he was an enemy. I said that there is no obligation from a club to someone who demands a set amount of words within a time limit.

Welcome back ML. Have you had a sabbatical ??

Re: Squad 2021 : Sun Dec 06, 2020 1:32 pm  

I agree with ML. As frustrated as I have been with LB, we are under no obligation to to this.

Re: Squad 2021 : Sun Dec 06, 2020 4:45 pm  

Obviously the club its under no obligation to take part. I would say that it would be good business practice to partake of this opportunity to put forward our case for inclusion in Super league. After all Is it not David Hughes avowed aim to get the club back in SL.
I would say the club will look rather pathetic, if it was the only club of those applying not to contribute.

Agree no one is under any obligation, but PR is so important. in how people look at a club.

That's the League Express editor who is followed by over 18k people including most of the major people of importance in RL.

Genuinely stunned that any club wouldn't jump at the chance of putting forward their case in what is basically the trade newspaper.

Good news at last just heard from Martyn 'League Express' all Six Clubs in contention for The Super League 12th place, have submitted their 500 words of their application intention, all of the 6 clubs admissions will be in tomorrow's edition, should be an interesting read.
