was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have

1. Amazed that because HO'N at the Skolars says it, it suddenly becomes more relevant than when dozens of keyboard warriors have said it over the years.
2. David Hughes is in equal measure, responsible for the clubs existence, but also the crapper it finds itself in now.
3. If there are not wholesale changes at the club with an emphasis on the acceptability of failure, then let's put adate in our diary to do this all again in 12 or 24months time.

Am not sure what to think here really, on the one hand I'm delighted that we may well have a SL club. But then again what the Pengiun says is bang on the money.

If it comes off we will be in SL next season. However if we are not competitive (which is the likely scenario at the moment) we will be relegated and that will be it in my opinion. That is why the franchise system was good for us. If by a miracle we stay up then its a race to get the crowds up get the money in and get competitve asap to keep us alive. The disadvantages of recruitement down South remain and it just takes one poor season and we are down and out. The last two seasons have shown that supporters will not watch a team being thrashed every week and realise we cannot change it because Northern players ( where most of the available player pool is) dont want to move down here and we cannot break out of this straightjacket until we produce all the players in our team.

Gutterfax the only reason that Hector may be taken more serious, is his concerns for the future of the Skolars, who get praised for running a tight club on and off the field. Those who make decisions about the future of the game, are not interested in us keyboard warriors. Back after the end of Fulham, it was letters, even then no one was interested. I still claim the The RFL only ever show interest in London in words, never real actions.

It may end up the way The Penguin seems to predict, but no one really knows until everything is signed. There was silence with Bradford Bulls, and fans had out so much of their own money to keep that club going, The RFL seemed to pull out all stops with them, and in still not convinced, what us happening there. But what do we do, just because we don't know all the facts yet, do we go forward thinking everything will go wrong, anyone who feels that way may as well call it a day now, find another club or sport. Sheffield Eagles have no ground, Wakefield seem to have problems, everything does not seen to be perfect at Wakefield, but I'm sure there supporters go forward, with some hope, at least.

I stand by IF, against all odds now we fail, then I see no future for rugby league in London or the south. How do you sell the game, play rugby league at junior level, and move to the North, for a minor sport, that will never develop?

My glass is still half Full, but we have to see what happens, and how it works out. I'm not giving up yet.

Re: Our Future - 2 weeks til we know : Tue Sep 10, 2013 7:57 am  
Cannot argue with the sentiments behind the article. and its very good news, if true, that David Hughes will give support for two more years (and credit to him after the last 2 years! Even given Gutterfax says). There are still too big questions:

1. What are the debts, what will it take to make the Clud debt free?

2. Does anyone believe the RFL will do anything positive to help? Buying a ground with all SL clubs holding a share sounds like an excellent idea, but one i suspect is beyond the wit of both the Clubs and the RFL - needs imagination and vision. Not something RL has had for a very long time.............................

No, like most "solutions", it requires money that the RFL / the game just doesn't have.

Wakey are close to bankruptcy and can't get their own stadium sorted out, do you really think that they can afford to buy a stake in a stadium in one of the world's most expensive cities? What about Bradford? They no longer even own their own stadium.

Not to mention that these clubs are competing with Broncos to avoid relegation. Wakey and Broncos have to be favourites to go down next year. Who wishes to throw Broncos a life jacket?

If its true we're being bought by the owner of the Hive isn't all this a bit irrelevant? Ready made new stadium owned by our owner?

RFL have a master plan to merge Sheffield, Wakefield and London and play at Leigh Sports Village :D

Seriously I think the RFL should steer clear of club organization, they don't have a good record and don't have the money.
