The product takes precedence over all. Tv money or development? Expansion can’t create development for 20 years! So the answer is TV money. Typical SL era.

You can't keep using Toronto as an excuse to ignore the issues of the clubs mentioned, as you just have.



Either way have a Merry Christmas.

what issues have the championship clubs got



as for Toronto I'll keep reminding you of their issues and why they shouldn't of been in super league



yeap have a merry xmas keep safe and we'll start again next year

Thank you for the reply.



Not sure I agree expansion of the grass roots takes 20 years. Close to home Sheffield are 36 years on with little expanded?



Doncaster is a soccer town and nothing's expanded there since RL turned up in 1952



Les Catalans are on year 14 and are more an English team than ever



London are 40 years young and have some player development



Workington have gone 73 years losing over 9,000 speccies and scores of amateur players in the process



The answer is stability and you get that best (not perfect even then) along the M62.............

How about this





Toulouse coach Houles has said that the club recruit English players because moving to Toulouse gives them "[ia new start and a new perspective on life with their families here"[/i "The players and their families enjoy the climate, and the culture"



Nothing about giving any French players a start..............

Ergo,over 100 years on the M62 ,and they have failed expansion.

Lots of M62 clubs have suffered financial problems.

Your easy one - liners fail to take in any of the issues affecting some of the clubs,lacking broadcast money,as they encounter external problems.

Your glib writing style epitomises the attitude of the lucky folk who own top rated clubs and benefit from money given to them for being in the top bracket - at the lucky period in time.

Wigan,Widnes and Bradford would suggest stability is not the best along the M62.

Yes.

Congratulations lads, looking forward to seeing you next year down at Belle Vue.

I think you'll find London have a bit more than "some player developement", it's something Mr Hughes decided early on was important and has never abandoned, who knows, Covid may force him too, but I reckon if it was, he'd restart it again asap as it's clealy something he values.



"Jonah Verella, Josh Hodson, Will Blakemore, Rob Oakley and Jacob Jones have all signed first team contracts with the club and will join the first team set up for pre-season training in November.



The signing of these five players takes the home-grown element of the Broncos first team squad to around 70%, which is something Ward is immensely proud of."

That's great mate. I remember when LMS, Dixon and Clubb all appeared for Broncos and that was great. The 70% is fantastic too but that is across a Championship squad. That's fine if the club are competitive in the Championship, and even better if they got promoted and the London lads continued to hold their own in SL. Don't think Covid is going to force Mr. Hughes hand, vaccinations are ramping up etc etc.



Have a great season 2021.....

Not forgetting the likes of Sarginson, Dixon, McMeeken and Caton Brown. I’m sure there will be many more also.

I did forget a couple of them.

yes let's hope more and more........
