I would be massively supportive if it was a tax dodge. That is exactly the kind of thinking outside of the box we need. Next we’ll be engaging with the local community.
Any way any one heard anything about the Gold Lounge? It’s all gone a bit quiet. |

Rubbish isn’t it. It’s literally been days since they banged on about it. The club’s gone. |

I see that Jordan Abdul has gone out on a years loan to the Dragons. Pity he was not loaned to London.

I expect he wants to be in a winning team. In any event he's done the London thing so a year in Perpignan sounds good to me. |

JH has played Union for Northampton Saints, England U18, and Bedford Blues (over 50 appearances). He’s 6ft 2, roughly 110kg, and capable of scoring tries like this:
https://darkroom.northamptonsaints.co.u ... ford-1.jpg
As a Bedford fan, we were gutted to lose him, and felt that he could have made it as a Premiership player (front rowers in Union tend not to reach their peak until their late 20s/early 30s).
His move to League might not work out – the transition is a difficult one, and very unusual these days – but I’m not sure it’s fair to present his contract as an act of Yuletide nepotism.
Good luck to him and the rest of the Broncos this season! |

Interesting and useful to hear this perspective. My take on looking at the training video snips was he looked a litte ‘leggy’ but then, in fairness, pre season is for sorting that kind of thing out. Hopefully he will be a useful acquisition. |

I hope he goes well for us and regardless of familial relations, it feels like a somewhat astute pick-up and relatively low risk. At least he has the pedigree/experience of being in elite systems and I'm sure he'll work his hardest.
Maybe he goes as a short minutes interchange prop/back-rower? |

League Express have announced Henry has left the club. Nothing from the club itself though, however it always felt likely.
Best of luck to the guy. Came in and did a job for us and was a nice guy to have a chat with. Nice way to round you career off too, if he does retire.

I agree. He started a little slower than I’d hoped but back end of the season was solid and made a good contribution. |

This is the kind of signing that excites me. He CAN play at this level and is in the window for a bigger club come 2025 so will "not die wondering"

Really sad news that Bill Leyland has picked up a season ending ACL. Natoli has also picked up a knock that will keep him out until Spring. If it keeps going like this squad depth will become an issue again.

Terrible news about young Bill, I think he would have gone well in Superleague- here’s hoping for a full recovery |

And now I read Josh Rourke has had his leg broken in the game against Oldham. From the BBC site (nothing on the Broncos site yet so assume its correct) - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/68205489
So that's Rourk, B Leyland, Walker, Natoli & Bassett out for at least the start of the season. It never rains but it pours. |

Yes very sad. I had high hopes for him this season.
On the plus side we have enough to make a full 17- last couple of seasons that appears to have been our start of season goal. Perhaps not a very sensible one. I’m all for us trying a different approach next year. |

Hmmmmm, the Leopard doesn't change its spots BT, so don't hold your breath. Sad news for those 2 & hope the other injuries are not too serious. The silver lining in this rather depressingly dark cloud is that Hughes Junior gets closer to the 1st team just on numbers alone. |

If he can kick I think he’s a shoe in. We look to have fallen back into our hit and miss antics of season 2022. |
