Ian Ramsdale confirms that at least another six from that list have left and will confirm today.

@ianramsdale: The 6 players I'm told Broncos are retaining; Dixon, Lovell, Krasniqi, Dolappi, McMeeken...and one more which I haven't been able to confirm



Re Dixon out for six months:- @ianramsdale: @theboyem Yes, possibly longer, from what I've heard. Also that a deal for (possibly Salford) him is close/done.

Right thanks. I'll try to update the status later. I'll need another colour for something like "unknown but believed to have been released". Seems that DH has paid off all the Aussies except for TR.

Updated including a bit of [iitalics[/i for clarity.

Joel Wicks confirms he's still at London.

Bishay moves on. A couple of tweets:

Back to my union ways on Saturday!



and



Would like to thank everyone that has been involved with the London broncos over the last 7 years for all there help and support. It is time now for me to move on to a new challenge. Met the best people in my life there and will never forget them. Thanks for the memories!



Not as bad as that makes it seem. Apparently he's off to Sydney.

Shame. One of the youngsters we all had high hopes for.

So we're dumping our own kids and begging the RFL to allow us to bring in a dozen Australians? What an absolutely criminal waste of the last ten years. If that's what it comes to then they can stick it.

Agreed, always liked the look of him. Hope he does well in the future

Tough times i guess. The bottom line is the fans vote with their feet as we've seen at the Stoop the last few seasons. If the team is going to get thrashed constantly because the youngsters can't cut it yet the fans wont come and the ramifications are the club will fold. We still have a few lads who have proved they can play at this level but i guess the skilled players will have to be imported as always.

Update of where I think we are from tweets and rumours:

Probably here

21 Kieran Dixon(WG)

18 Olsi Krasniqi (PR)

24 Mike McMeeken (CE)

32 Joel Wicks (LF)

35 Harry Little (CE)

28 James Woodburn-Hall (SO)

Hope to see some of you from this board on Saturday, and have you arranged your own gym facilities in case your team needs you?
