Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days.

| Quote BP1="BP1"The rebuild required at the club is going to have to be done in stages. Firstly, we will need to assemble a squad who can at least steady the ship, produce slightly more consistency in performance and push us up to around 8th/9th in the table. From there we can then build on that, bringing in better players in order to challenge for a play-off spot and then from there, hopefully, to challenging once more towards the top end of the table.
As you say, the players listed above should help us in part one of the process, their experience alone should move us upward even if it is only slowly, heaven knows they cannot be worse than what we currently have.
We are not going to leap back into the top four in one fell swoop. We are currently sitting on around seven successive years of mistakes, it will probably take another seven years to undo all the wrong turnings we have made in the recent past. No-one decent will come here right now, until we can prove to the game that we have stopped being a basket-case club. If the club adopted a policy of only signing high-quality players we'll be waiting until doomsday for anyone to sign!!
We're going to have to suffer for some time. We are where we are due to our own mistakes and it is going to be a long road back with no short-cuts unfortunately.'"
Bang on the rebuild will happen slowly 8/9th will be an improvement you'd be happy with but problem we have is some want us to sign unrealistic targets from the NRL it isn't going to happen we need 5/6 experience SL players which we have signed with hopefully two NRL players hopefully a 9 or 7, players won't be rushing to sign for us with where we are at and people need to get their heads around it instead of living in a fantasy rugby world.

Surely you should be asking London fans that instead of playing devils advocate on here?
RFL have issued a conclusive statement and that should be the end of it.
But we all see things differently. We feel Hiku should have been banned for his disgusting challenge on Field in the semi. If he had I dare say Peters would have been appealing straight away?

Surely forums are for playing devil's advocate on?
Regarding the Hiku incident, not one Wigan player reacted, that tells me that there really wasn't any head contact, but as you say, we all see things differently.

You can, be you are letting your bias take over here. They are backing their players word, despite there being zero evidence.
We have had this go against us with Griffin that I had to accept even with my supposed black and white glasses on.

No I'm trying not to be biased, I've never said that he's guilty.
I was more interested in the evidence that London put forward, they must have thought it was worth submitting, yet the RFL have classed it as contradictory, obviously London don't think it is
I'd forgotten about the Griffin incident tbh, the RFL are always going to take the word of the ref though,
Anyway I doubt it'll go any further so let's leave it there

Problem as I said in an earlier post is that we don't know what evidence London submitted. For all we know it might have just been a statement from the player in question (HDM say it is Sadiq Adebiyi BTW) with fellow players backing him up. We just don't know. All we do know is that the RFL have audio from the ref's mic that they felt was compelling and contradicted whatever evidence London provided. Without knowing what London provided, we as fans of the sport can't weigh up whether one set of evidence should trump the other so we have to trust the RFL on this one. I know that is difficult at times but they have shown in the past that they take these matters seriously with incidents such as Maguire, Griffin and Clubb so to exonerate Ese Ese completely and not even give him a slap on the wrist... they must feel it was quite convincing. Not only that but I would say that they have absolutely nothing to gain from trying to brush this under the table given the nature of the charge and the public nature it has been carried out.
