London Broncos" situation is "pathetic" says Tony Clubb

Broncos are believed to be on the brink of collapse ­because millionaire backer David Hughes is refusing to bail them out any more.

But skipper Clubb, 26, says the players are being kept in the dark about whether they will have a job next season.

He said: “It really is tough to keep calm because they’re messing with our livelihoods.

“We have got mortgages, wives and kids and we don’t know what will happen to us when our season ends at the end of next week.

“It’s pathetic as nobody is telling us anything. It’s pretty tough to train when we don’t know if we’ll have a job.

“A lot of players haven’t been offered new contracts and those who are signed for next year want to leave.”

The RFL are holding ­crisis talks with Hughes to see if the club has any ­future in ­Super League.

They are bottom, drew a crowd of just 1,143 for their last game and don’t have a home to play in next season.
