Boosty...hope you can watch Monday Night with Matty Johns tonight...Craig Glower is going to be on it.



I miss The Footy Show...so bad, it was really good.

I would think the majority of players in the Championship or those earning less than £25k on the outer fringes of top clubs would join us for a relatively modest £50k salary, especially as the club operates a portfolio of shared houses, which would be fine for a younger man and be sufficiently attractive.



The key would be to work out which players are better than what we have and unlikely to ever be a first team regular at their existing club. Keinhorst at Leeds, George Williams at Wigan and the Evans twins at Wire are all players with potential and talent.



There is always talent to be discovered and the next Rob Purdham to be found

Not really had any luck so far, though Mark.



We've given lots of players in the lower leagues chances (which is to our credit) but sadly, few have made the grade (in fact, can only think of Purdo at the mo).



Even Andy Ellis is back in the Championship.



Bring back Jonny G and Big Mick (actually, what's happened to Mick Nanyn? Anyone know?)

Got injured in a pre season game 18 months ago after he went to Halifax from Leigh. He played for Fax under 20's last week and kicked 5. Hope he makes it back. Great kicker and would be a better centre than some we have now.

Ah, that's good to hear (that he's playing again, I mean).



Always one of me favourites...sad he didn't make it down here.

Hiya mate, it is true we have not been good at acquiring players but it is all about recognising who is really good before it is common knowledge and clubs move to secure them. We have to get better at this. We got rid of Phil Bailey so Rea is on his own. He has discovered players in the past and he is intelligent so I think he will do well again.

I admire some of the optimism here. But for someone like GeorgeWilliams, brought up in the very professional hyper competitive Wigan youth programme, I can't see what would impress him about the Broncos set up. Just looking at some of the fat lazy slobs employed by London would put anyone off, never mind the Fred Karno set up of the club.

You really don't get it do you. Really good players are unlikely to want to join a club who are (i) struggling badly and (ii) can only offer a short term deal. Any players such as those you describe are likely to wait and see what other offers they get.

True but there appears that nearly everyone on this forum just assume the club will fold either at the end of this year or at the end of 2014. That may well be the case but we are not privy to discussions the club may have with the RFL or others.



In addition the 'we are crap no one will join us' syndrome appears to have taken over. If we do continue into the future with a decent clear out creating the financial scope in the budget there is an opportunity to change the attitude of the club for the better. Year long loans from NRL (Feliti Mateo any one?) and UK clubs could fill a number of gaps.

Plus someone at the Broncos needs to put their foot down regards the cap and stick some sort of London Weighting that wasn't included in the cap.

I suppose next year is a very big if. But if we do get another year then i have a lot of t time for what Mark says, the points i would stress/add are:



1. Keep Bailey if at all possible, one of the few players to come out with any credit this year

2. Personally i would give Dorn another year because he still scores tries and we have little else to offer

3. Use the £600k as sensibly as possible - yes one year contracts but with options for extensions

4. Please get some decent props and centres

5. get a new fitness coach



i sympathise with those who have had enough of us up North (i am from there), but i think we desrve one last chance, and a miracle wembley experience - our semi-final opponents (i know we have to beat Sheffield) succumb to food poisoning and can only field their under 16 team................................................
