Eccles has alluded to a good second half of the season. I spoke to Ethan Natoli at the end of last season and he said he was keen to come back after the French season is over. Broncos to make the playoffs.

Sorry folks but I’m just not sharing the optimism re the playoffs. I’ll be happy if we avoid dropping out of the Championship. Perhaps if we win our cup game or put in a few decent championship performances early on I’ll change my mind but there’s too much uncertainty on and off the pitch. I mean if we knew who else might be turning out for us this season it might help….

I am with RFe. A successful season this year IMO will be avoiding a relegation fight. I think we will finish mid table at best. I doubt any new owner will want to suddenly splash the cash on signing players in 2025, maybe second half of season if things are looking dire

Unless of course any moneymen coming in, have more in common with camels than they do crocodiles.

more wins than losses would be nice, but other than a supposed new owner and half a signed squad, i suspect survival will be the target. I would see making it to the last game of the season and not in serious debt as a win.

So the team so far... Walker ? Stephens ? ? ? O'Bierne Bienek Davies Worthington Lovell Adebiyi Stock Winney Monk Hursey Hurd ?
