League express are not the people who are making the decision. Not sure what the big deal is.

So has anyone read League Express & have a view on the respective 500 words. Rather reminds me of the NZ soap 800 Words that the Beeb have been running. I expect there will be some deluded statements in some of them.

Interesting to read all 6 clubs submissions to 'League Express' why they deserve the 12th place in Super League. Our submission looks as if they do have something up their sleeves but didn't want to go public yet?

Would your reading of it jaybs be that whatever is up their sleeve (hand & arm apart) is in the official submission but not in the school essay for LE?

Stop teasing James

Is the exciting news dependant on the SL bid being successful??

We will have to wait and see if exciting, or just interesting!

Here is our submission to League Express in 500 words.

London Broncos

From our owner David Hughes, a private man, and throughout the rest of our club we pride ourselves on being dignified and respectful and as a club we firmly believe we tick the boxes required in the criteria and long before this process had already started work on a number of projects that will see the club meeting the required standard of Super League in every single aspect without making our ambitions public.

These exciting developments have taken months to implement and are still a work in progress but we are hopefully close to fruition and we expect to be able to announce these soon.

Our Academy is regarded as one of the biggest expansion success stories in the British game and for the benefit of the game as a whole for a number of years, producing talent that has gone on to win International Honours, Super League Grand Finals and Challenge Cups.

On the field our staff are of equal high regard with one of the brightest young coaching groups in the game. Danny Ward is a charismatic Head Coach with a thoughtful and modern approach to the game of Rugby League gaining fans around the sport for his approach to Super League in 2019 that saw us miss out on survival on points difference.

A structured plan for both community development and commercial aspects of the club is in place and the response has been fantastic.
Commercially brands are continuing to want to partner with the Broncos, despite the difficult times many are facing, and we have many partnerships ready to reveal for 2021.

We have put forward a strong case for the Broncos to be in SL 2021 and, of course, feel that we are one of the stands out candidates for a place in the sports Premium competition. Every sport has at least one strong London side and this opens doors in the media and commercially that Rugby League especially needs as a National game.
