London look like finishing in the bottom half of the table this year, since going part time. London does produce just about enough quality players to form a full-time squad and press for promotion again, with a few imports. But the best get made better offers by bigger clubs in the North, or they stay South and sign for RU clubs, especially the backs. The latter is particularly chawsing. The future of RL in London requires a Super League team, and if that is going to generate the revenue required to sustain it and maintain a full time squad, a suitable location, easily reached from all over Greater London. Plough Lane isn't brilliant from that point of view, but certainly better than Ealing. London needs to be able to match the offers to talented young players which RU can make, as well as those of Leeds, Saints, etc. Not only is more revenue required for that, but an adjustment in the salary cap to allow for the greater cost of living, and especially housing, in London.[urlhttps://classicgolfclub.net/which-golf-clubs-should-i-buy/[/url

It appears to me Hughes has adopted a holding position in recent seasons investing as little as possible pending the IMG restructure. With the benefit of hindsight and given the grading system he may be wishing he had done more. The only future is without him. | | |

The old chestnut of a weighted Salary Cap has been discussed for decades & always falls down because the northern hoards won't have it. It is still a valid point of course & now gaining support in RU from Quins & Sarries fans for the same reasons.

Anyone who thinks plough lane is easier to get to than Ealing, The Stoop or Brentford really doesn't know how to use public transport in London.
West London, which is pretty much where those three grounds are is where a huge chunk of our base used to come from and we should move back to Ealing at the end of this year with the intent to help them with the redevelopment of the ground to a 10k stadium
As for Hughes. If he's serious about "staying" he needs to employ a professional CEO, give him shares as part of his package and concentrate on growing the fan base, because at present he has a tin pot accountant who basically can't find his arris with either hand.

I notice in the Confirmation Statement posted by London Rugby League Ltd on 25-Jan-23 all the shares in the club are now in the name of Jack Hughes. | | | |
