We are launching a new website in March

Im more concerned with the quality of the squad

Squad numbers being announced. Where is Allgood???

Initial thoughts....we will do well to make the play offs. No chance

So have I got this right??

5 props in the squad. Romaine Richards, Olsi, Sid and Gwaze

Seriously. The pack is too lightweight, underpowered and lacks depth.
Squad is short of depth lacking experience.

Cmon London. We was not good enough last season. The Fev game was a wake up call and we decide to weaken the pack further.

To say I am underwhelmed by a squad announcement is an understatement. Do we really expect this squad to challenge??

Is the implication of this that the Broncos have "announced" the departure of Allgood by simply announcing the squad numbers and not including him?

You'd presume it's possible they're still negotiating with him/waiting on visas, but given they never announced Kieran Dixon's departure, how is anyone to know?

Im just a bit baffled (although in truth, London never fail to surprise me). Are we planning on having zero injuries next season??? 5 props!!! One of them (Sid) seems to be more of a BR now. Fev probably have more Props than we have total forwards. I was looking forward to getting to Plough Lane (I guess) at some point. Think I will give it a swerve tbh. Poor squad

Just checked

Fev have 8/9 Props

Tolouse 8 Props

<northernbloke mode> Have faith in the club! And Wardy! Why criticize what you cant do anything about! etc.

Because this would be a pretty dull board if not!!!

Honkytonk, well the board will get pretty quiet if folk take the same approach that you have suggested you will take and give it a swerve as you say!
And strewth, listy, thats me and you agreeing.
Support the team that they put out! Thats what being a sports fan is about.

We will have to wait and see how the squad develops in the next few weeks, it is pointless just adding players for the sake of it, we need good players, there must be some around, but do they want to move to London.

Cheers but I dont need a lesson about being a sports fan. I pay my dues many times over. Part of being a sports fan is also about voicing the frustration at your club. The squad was weak last season, and is weaker now. If we do not strengthen we are in for a long hard season. Considering the total ballache it is to get to PL, it does not fill me with joy at the thought of the log slog to get there, then seeing an understrength Broncos get pushed around the park.

That's an incredibly weak squad. 28 players announced. I cant imagine we will run with a squad much bigger than that.

Did I read Meadows with No 1 on his back. Wardy mentioned when he first took the job numbers mean nothing. I hope he is continuing with this mindset.

we are 3 forwards and 1 back (quality) short of pushing for the top imho

Hey honkytonk it was yr words not mine! Pretty sure you were suggesting because you dont think the squad is not strong enough, you are not going to bother watching! Thats fair enough.

Had heard that Danny tried to sign 2 props yesterday but was told no go. Apparently Mrs Ward said they were needed to hold up her washing line.

The club have had an awful long time to sort out a squad that can challenge for SL but seemingly haven't taken that opportunity instead focussing on yet another ground move.

Right now I am torn about renewing the season tickets we have (3) considering both location and squad... Which is a shame as we have been ST holders since 2001. We will probably attend some games, but not sure will go for a full ST, as tbh I am not worried about getting a good seat with 750 supporters in a 5K stadium, so will have lots of room.

Trailfinders was different as we actually filled the seating area in the grandstand pretty much every game, I can see a PL only one or two stands open, and fans split between both teams, leading to not much atmosphere....

For the first time in a long time, I'm actually finding I'm not missing the Sundays or the RL, I'm pretty much a london / england fan, I don't care about any other team (apart maybe from Scholars), and don't bother to watch any SL games on sky... so we will see how things go before making up mind on a season ticket for 2021 (assuming we even have them)...

Ba-dum-tish!!

Are you here all week?

Watched Our League launch last night and they said Sadiq Adebiyi is out injured.
Is this true?

God I hope not! We need Big Sid.

At least we have some depth at prop, if Sid is out!!

I am finding it tough to get excited for this season. The squad lacks the depth and quality to challenge imho. Our pack was understrength and underpowered last season, without sounding unkind, it is in worse shape this season. I am surprised we have not added some beef up front. Im not too worried fans are not able to attend, I am in no rush!!!

On the one hand the club is supposedly very ambitious for a return to SL and is moving ground to enable that and on the other we have a squad with obvious gaps in depth and quality. These things don't really add up to form a coherent plan.

we don't have a get to SL squad, we have a "hope we can pinch a place in the playoffs, and see what happens at that point squad". I'm afraid that type of squad is not going to attact the punters the club seem to think it will get.

i would not be surprised if the plan is to just try to muddy along in lower playoff places, then bring in a couple of SL loan players to push in the playoffs with a larger and better squad, but I don't think current squad is enough to even hit 5th or 6th once we get injuries (as we will)
