On the cards, isn't it?

London Broncos has absolutely reached its nadir. Fortunately for me, any emotional attachment I've had to the club has all but disappeared.

Well done Dave, you've left a great legacy.

Nothing left to sell/pass on to anyone now, so the tailspin will continue until we crumble and vanish because Hughes will never admit he's done wrong.
Here are my predictions from before the season started

First win: Away to Sheffield (April)
Fist Home win: Newcastle (May)
2 Wins in a Row: August
Biggest home gate: 2,150
Lowest home gate: 500
Average gate: 1,000
Finishing Position: 9th
Coach Sacked: May

The only ones I feel about being accurate are the crowd ones....not sure we will win at all, think 9th would be fantastic and think Coleman needs to go tomorrow

I think Mustard has one more week, keep it under 50 vs Fev and score a couple of tries, and he will keep his job for a bit longer

Ship over 60 and another nilling, then I think he is gone.

But who would take over, I can't see anybody wanting this job right now

Correct. I can't imagine any other coach would have assembled this squad or want to take it on.

I’ve said before it’s really easy to spend someone else’s money but DH could, if he felt we were going to drop out the league, snap up some players of the requisite standard in a few weeks time as players realise that aren’t in their manager’s thoughts for regular game time. Who knows we might even be able to buy/loan some British players or some of those London/nonheartland players we heard about a few months back. Teams like Dewsbury and Workington don’t have that luxury. But what happens next season that s the question.

I think one of the other problems we have is we do not have any dual regisration with a SL team. Most of the M62 clubs have dual registration which allows them to bring in fringe SL players. Our dual registration seems to be the other way where we bring in league one players.

Yes we have a reverse DR which is the worst of both worlds for both clubs. Very, very strange. I suggest we discontinue it.

I dunno, maybe there was an agenda: killed Broncos, killed Skolars.

Like I said, well done Dave.

I wonder if the alarm bells are ringing at the RFL. Both London clubs are in trouble.

Re: Relegation : Mon Feb 14, 2022 10:23 am  

I'm sure there may be some concern but the louder voice will always be that we told you so, London is a waste. Those are the voices of those that think the game can survive in their little patch of northern grassland. In reality, the majority of corporate sponsors want national coverage (club or country) not the M62+. That is partly why they will pump money into football, Union & cricket rather than league or other minor sports.
