Think it was back in the 70s when the NFL came into being with the merger of two whole leagues.

The stench of death has been hanging around the London pro side for several years now. To be fair, though, there's more than a few rotting corpses along the M62 as well.



It's very hard to see where a recovery starts. The whole sport can't even find a sponsor for its heavily televised national competition, so it seems unlikely a white knight is about to ride out and replace DH. But unless something fairly major changes - leadership, funding, location, publicity... then I think the club's beginning to run out of chambers in this particular game of Russian Roulette.



I hope a good start to the season on the field brings in more optimism and more returning bodies. But that'll only take the cllub so far. Anyone know any Kuwaiti millionaires ?

I recently met up with the co owners of the Warriors Mad Butcher (Sir Peter Leitch) and Owen Glenn in Auckland.....bent both their ears about how a 20 million pound investment in London Broncos over 8 years would make the club self sufficient and do wonders for the global reach of the game....Mr Glenn said he'd be in London later this year, so I have emailed him our fixture list.......you never know!

St George Illawara

Sheffied/Hudds

Gateshead/Hull

Manly/Norths

not the last one.
