They really weren't. I could have gone through those defensive gaps, and I'm an abysmal rugby player.

Featherstone Rovers.

London should never been fast-tracked years ago anyway. They stole a place from Keighley (crippling that club in the process) and have been an embarrassment to SL from day one.
I'm still convinced the RFL will find a way to ensure a London club in SL next season, but if by some small chance they were true to their word, London can have no complaints because they've brought nothing to SL from the start.

It is needed...it gives each player a dignity and respect that they receive at the announcement of their birth and their death, and usually at the time of their arrest, or their admission to the hospital emergency ward.....a dignity and respect that is denied by the false familiarity we impose on our relationship with them when we choose to shorten their Christian names.....

However I think that you should focus less on that issue and more on the great joy that has emanated from The Hive, and so many homes and pubs in southern England, following the famous victory of the London Broncos over the Leeds Rhinos.

Why does everyone always say Keighley got shafted? Featherstone, Salford, Wakey, Widnes, FC, and Doncaster all finished above them. And even if you take Donny out of the equation because they were well and truly relegated, that still leaves 5 clubs who have a much greater claim than Keighley. If anyone got shafted, I would argue it was Fev Rovers.

Keighley is a pimple on the bum of mankind. East Hull is a wart on the bum of mankind. Who in the world outside of those places cares what happens in those places?

London is a great world famous cosmopolitan centre which attracts interest from all corners of the planet. It needs to have its own rugby league team if the game is ever to be taken seriously in the United Kingdom, let alone in the wider world.

Yes, but Keighley's got a very nice mosque! Opposite Asda, if you're interested.

It has two RL teams, one day it may be able to sustain one of them in the top flight, and SL may have the money to invest in making it, and a welsh side, succesful. For now though they need to be gone and stop embarrasing SL on and off the field.
