That might be difficult for him to answer. Perhaps in his favourite pub, on his 14th pint, someone whispered it all in his ear? The face looked familiar but he just can't quite put a name to the face.

BTW....you forgot to mention that the new CEO is in his 2nd stint in that role, the coach is untried/untested at this level, the players on offer are all crumbs from the table and the guy with his hands on the purse strings is the same bloke who drove us down this farcical route. If DH controls finances at the club I predict more of the same come September 2014/Feb 2015

These points are all valid and troubling if the rumours are true. But you are assuming that the rumours are true. Of course anything is possible with David Hughes at the helm. But I would wait till I got confirmation from a credible source before jumping to any conclusions.

The NRL has refused to register former NZ Warriors' prop Russell Packer's registration with Newcastle Knights. However if Russell Packer can win his court case, which involves criminal charges of assault, he would be available for Super League in 2014. That means that he could be available for London Broncos. In making the decision to knock back Packer's registration, NRL chief operating officer Jim Doyle said his organisation had found enough evidence of behavioural breaches. "We will always respect the court process and, if the only facts in question are those before the court, then clearly we will ordinarily wait for them to be resolved," Doyle said in a statement on Friday. "We have also been clear that we will always act on any information that demonstrates behaviour which is contrary to the interests, welfare and image of the NRL. "While we make no inference in relation to the charges that Russell is facing, our Integrity Unit has reported conduct that leaves us with little choice other than to refuse the application for registration."

It is the same owner of the club for 2014 just at a new ground. Depending on what happens in 2014 then there may be a new investor in 2015 but I somehow don't it!

If I was an investor wrapped in 2 straight jackets with 2 pencils up both nostrils I wouldn't touch London Broncos with a barge pole. Where the f**k have you been for the last five years???

They're called benefactors sunshine, not investors.
