He was in the shop buying some merchandise... didn't see what that though.

No, at one o'clock the shp was just being opened, Gus was in there emptying boxes and stacking goods on the shelf. That's not his job surely

Following this he was coordinating the effort to unfurl the SELCO banner in the South stand. That's not his job surely

Did love the big finger giveaway. No wait hang on. That was in the away stand. Simply amazing.
You'd think just on the law of averages something would be done right.

No surprise there then.

The RFL need to decide if they want a London SL team...and if they do, then they need to buy Hughes out and market the love out of the team......sub 3k gate is shocking...sub 3k gate for the season opener is nothing short of a loving disgrace!

I agree, but it also needs to be combined with a decent team on the field. Quite frankly, it's difficult to see what London bring to Super League, and as much as I respect what DH has done, this needs a far higher level of investment - backed with action.

A la Melbourne Storm........they receive additional funding from the NRL because they are classed as expansion and are further bankrolled by the Comps main Broadcast Partner....who 100% owns them.

David Hughes has taken the club as far as he can...he should be applauded and when we eventually do get a permanent home, have a stand named after him, but centrally funding the expansion team in the south is required to protect all the good work done to date.

We have more and more youngsters coming through and it would be criminal if London were to continue to stagnate and die, leaving these kids with no local team to aspire to.

Are they still 100% owned?
