On the surface it does. Lopsided scores and bad balance sheets will tell a different story.
Anyway, I'll try and stay optimistic.
I think the York owner is very smart and the more we can have his input into the game the better, so that's a win.
The tv deal didn’t go down on his watch

If they get the tv deal up to 30 million pa or more all their problems go away

Always had uneven comp a few clubs don’t spend full salary cap

Superleague begging for NRL involvement
You should see what they say about the nrl and Aussie league on their forums

They blame us all the time for their games failures

Eg not having the World Cup right after / during covid outbreak was the cause of it losing money despite having govt backing of tens of millions of pounds

But the minute the nrl does something good like Tonga v Samoa getting 40k they get happy


Here’s some good news

ESL should have a team in London called the London Convicts

With a anthem song - Down Under

Seems to be more Aussies than Brits in London interested in RL

If the London Broncos think they are going to thrive or even survive due to visiting and ex-pat Australians they will fail as surely as night follows day.

I don't disagree but if they can engage the expat community, that number sits between 50 and 100k in London.
Get whoever you can get and if you've got Darren Lockyer.. it's going to help get those expats.

But they certainly shouldn't be solely trying to survive on expats.

It's not good news though is it. The horse has bolted.
I'd like to ask the 5000 people where the f**k they were?

Let the London Broncis revert to being the London Monarchs

And you have a instance local rivalry

Convicts v Monarchs

They will reform in the champ and eventually get back into super league stronger

Like Leigh hull kr and Wakey

Manchester / Salford is too big to ignore together with London
