[quote="Deadcowboys1":11pv4h0o]You might hope he is bright enough to know if he was still on contract, even if he is French.[/quote:11pv4h0o] I feel even more positive about him if he’s pulled a stroke on them. Hilarious.

[quote="Deadcowboys1":amceh884]A tad odd even by Bronco standards that they haven't said anything. The Chargers message makes it sound like a full time appointment & I'm sure Cake needs the help if he is also half running the club too. At least no relocation costs to find.[/quote:amceh884] It’s all good but there is no disguising that as a Championship side we are definitely fishing in different waters to other championship clubs. A lot of these boys will need to step up quite a few levels if we are to stay up. Eccles I think can do this but early doors I do fear for us. I especially wonder quite where the tries will come from.

It’s a tough spot. The Broncos are in a different recruitment pool compared to most Championship clubs, and that gap is pretty clear. Eccles has shown he can get the best out of players, but as you say, a lot of them will need to step up massively. The biggest worry is the attack - where do the points come from? If they can’t find a consistent try-scoring threat, it’s going to be a long, painful season. Early days, but the signs aren’t exactly reassuring. Finally sorting the goal-kicking, only to be left wondering where the actual tries are coming from. It’s a bit of a role reversal from past seasons when we had exciting attacking threats but lacked consistency off the tee. If we can’t find a way to break defences and get over the line regularly, having reliable kickers won’t count for much. Let’s hope someone steps up as a real attacking spark—otherwise, it could be a season of respectable conversion rates but not enough chances to use them!
