Not sure what your point is? the thread is or is titled "Grand Final" strange how you like to use accusations about others to defend yourself, BroncoOnion says, your "facts & figures" are interesting, but the problem is you do not state them once, but go on over and over again repeating them.

I am pleased the Grand Final is sold out for the first time this weekend, especially when Union also have a sold out game on the same day in Manchester, I think it is our first sell out of the Grand Final which is superb, now I just hope we can get it right with the International games against New Zealand, everything has to be pushed into the London match to make sure it is a sell out.

If this weekends GF is anything like the NRL GF last week we are in for a treat.

I suspect Flower will be keeping his fists in his pocket

Does that matter?

It's not like the Broncos will be able to benefit in any material way, shape or form.

Unless David Hughes plans to entice some of the attendees with the wilds of Ealing.

What's your youth set up like? Are there any/many who are ready to step up?

From where I'm sat (up here in the beautiful north), it seems to me that you recruit plenty of first team players, but lack a significant local representation in the team.

Don't underestimate the power of players who play for the badge, rather than just the money. It's one of the reasons why our decimated team, full of under 20s was able to beat you on Sunday.

Hope you have a better year next time.

Chin up chaps. It could be worse, you could be from Cas.

Not the most important reason though.

That begins with D & ends in s.

Just look at the number of young players both the amateur and Broncos have brought through in the past 5 years, many Northern teams have up to 5 former London based players in their sides

In the past two many fans of rugby league could only look at the game with a parochial attitude, that does not benefit the sport, we all need to work together.

As far as here in London, the past is the past, there is nothing we can do anything about it now, there are clubs in the North in the same situation, but they carry on whatever set backs they have, so must we.

We can learn from our mistakes and not repeat them.....and please name me any other club that has decimated it supporter base and fllushed away 30 million in central funding over 19/seasons?

There is a lot of junior RL being played. The Broncos run 16/19's in the top league. Unfortunately they were graded quite poorly by the recent assessment process
