I agree, TBF, the club have no reason or obligation to speak to LE, will make no difference to the case (well, it shouldnt)

Sure, The Broncos will just bury their heads in the sand.

To be fair league express are hardly London rugby friendly. The bid has gone in-front of the people that matter (The decision panel)

Im watching TO, York and Bulls producing videos, Leigh pushing a media offensive, thinking WHY.

I have always found Martyn Sadler to be fair, I have had many debates with him, agree fully with you over the video's, but I was very critical of the unique selling point York seemed to use, of a club in the heartlands, what another M62 club?

Perhaps I am completely wrong, but do we have a 'rabbit' in the hat, which will be pulled out in our application? and that is why we are playing it low key?

No rabbit and it wouldn't do any good with Bradford in the mix. I feel it is already decided, I was going to say fixed but erhm that might be wrong. RFL please prove me wrong. I would be over the moon to be wrong and it comes down to Toulouse or London. It should be London as we were only relegated on points difference, Wakey and London won the same amount of games. London actually doubled their fan base in one season in SL, London so that should give hope for the future, London has the best academy going and we are growing more new clubs in the SE and expanding the game than any northern club. We are a capital city and need to expand outside the M62 / northern areas. We are not / will not be affected by Brexit problems as would Toulouse - well only playing Catalans but who cares about them not me thats for sure. After Covid could any club seriously afford to got to Toulouse and Catalan in one season. The bigger clubs may just about make it the smaller ones may have a serious problem

Why should it be a problem going to France twice in a season? We've done it. In any event it should be possible to sort the fixtures so that you play Toulouse away 1 week & Cats the following week so 1 trip.

You cant ignore the fact that our average crowd in Super League in 2019 was lower than toulouse in the championship. So going to france not such a big deal for lots.

Danny has been mention as potentially the replacement for Darryl Powell at Castleford.
Interestingly, Hendo is also said to be in the frame.

Where has that been mentioned?
