Yes I know, my discussion was with a contact, Thursday evening, they did not discuss players, but said we are in Super League next season, that the ground negotiations needed to be just completed.

Exactly what I'm still hearing from my souce. Superleague membership in 2014 is a done deal on already agreed terms IF we provide a suitable ground. Here's hoping the ground hasn't put a spoke in the wheel......

Does that mean the deal about overseas players has been agreed then and its only the ground that is the outstanding issue?

Not agreed unfortunately but its true that we are pressing for it from what I gather.

Well, Gus has been working on that all season, so it must be a mere formality.

Does anyone think that the RFL would go for a relaxed quota for London? Imagine the screams should the Broncos actually avoid relegation.

That said, the performance of most of our Aussies over the last couple of yeas doesn't fill me with confidence. Aside from Bailey, Gower and Soward, the best you can say is that at least Ben Fisher dresses his young son in a Ramones T shirt

I'm hearing all that sort of stuff has been provisionally agreed and signed off by all relevant parties however it is subject to us finding and funding an appropriate ground. If we get the ground the rest should fall into place quite quickly.

I'm not aware of what has been decided re overseas players but as has been mentioned the immigration laws and strong Aussie dollar could pose challenges so we if granted we could end up with people who can get a GB passport from below the current top level.

This all makes a mockery of the licensing system.
