I don't think that should happen, or is required. Why should either take a controlling interest? Apart from the lack of proper marketing are the London Broncos being badly run? Rather than taking control, they should enter into a partnership with the RFL and Sky purely on a marketing JV. At least then David Hughes wouldn't feel so alone in his quest to get the Broncos the exposure that they deserve.

The day David Whelan put Wigan up for sale was the beginging of the end for the London ESL club. Ian Lenegan can't be faulted for buying his home town club, but it left a massive financial hole that has never been filled.

I wonder if in hindsight, the RFL regret insisting on IL cutting ties with us......?

Read the papers. The RFL never "REGRET" anything.
