I’m not massively excited by the name London RLFC but equally I see no point in a name change from one animal to another. May as well stick with Broncos so if it’s to be a name change it would have to be something outside the box like Steel or Thunder etc etc and none relevant come readily to mind. All in all we have bigger problems but it does highlight just how difficult a successful revamp will be but I’m modestly confident. Let’s get the win on the weekend first.

London Hounds has certainly caused considerable mirth among those i know who nolonger come. If Gazza wants to reconnect with lapsed fans, he may need to try harder. 

Follow The Hounds.

At 80 odd, they'd have no trouble catching Neil Fox.

I've always been a bit against a name change. I don't think there is much wrong with London Broncos but I get that if a particular NRL club is heavily behind the takeover, they might not want to have a club named after one of their competition 'rivals' in Australia. I also think London Rugby League is boring and bland and I do think you need a nickname to build more of a brand around. 

Initially, London Hounds sounds bad. I did wonder initially if Canterbury Bulldogs were behind the takeover but I had forgotten that Wimbledon had a dog track at Plough Lane. Now, as much as Hounds sounds rubbish, if it means the club are putting down foundations in South West London and aren't just going to flit around the capital every couple of years, it can only be a good thing.
