Broncos refuse to go to Toulouse : Fri Apr 09, 2021 7:39 am  
"London chairman David Hughes said: "The RFL made the decision that our club should travel to France on the basis of being full-time and that our competitors, who are playing for the same prize of promotion to Super League for the 2022 season, do not have to travel due to being part-time".

Big row over London refusing to go to TO. Other clubs in the Championship don't "have to" go. Looks very much like the RFL want to spend Hughes's money for him.

Wonder how far this row will go,,,,,

On what grounds are London refusing to travel ?
Cost, no level playing field, covid....

It's certainly a strange decision by the RFL, to say that FT squads "must" play but, "part time" squads dont have to.
I wonder if the same could apply for clubs not wanting to travel all the way to London for their games ??

No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.

It seems the French club have gone to the trouble and expense of supplying a private jet to keep the London party in their private bubble.
Another source of embarrassment when people suggest this government,in England,have not done a very good job surrounding Covid yet the French clubs travel to England at great cost to themselves.
London suggest it is not a level playing field when a full time side such as themselves need to go to France but part time sides don't.
Risible given their promotions and the recent outgoing,and incoming,clubs regarding The Championship.
What a great sport for being controversial on a regular basis...

I don’t know weather to feel sorry for London or tell them to stop morning and get on with it

Quite clear in the operational laws. Any L1/CH club budgeting or spending £750,000 is classed as full-time. Therefore they have different operational laws. The RFL seem to be following the operational laws. Now London will probable find themselves guilty of off field misconduct or bringing the game in to disrepute.

Re: Broncos refuse to go to Toulouse : Fri Apr 09, 2021 5:01 pm  
I think this is actually more to do with how secure the London squad feel going to France when France is extending their lockdowns as cases surge. Why should London travel to France even if the flight has been paid by Toulouse? It seems weird that major sports governing bodies like golfs European tour who have cancelled the French Open and the ITF have delayed the French Tennis open who are professional outfits and then the clowns at Red Hall seem fit to make a team travel to a country where cases are surging.

The cases were surging in this country,under the putative nasty party yet Catalans never missed a game; unlike English teams.
About as brave as English GP's who fled their surgeries.
The statement from London Broncos doesn't mention player/staff welfare - just the even playing field.

Given France has gone into a third major lockdown, including nightime curfews and travel restrictions, I honestly don't blame anyone for not wanting to go there just to play sport.

Farcical. Having rules for different teams makes the competition nothing but a joke.
