Pen-Y-Bont Crusader

3 x 14 =42 players incoming. Effectively enough for two new SL squads just.

Yes but Haighs pies and AB SUNDECKS are set for a bumper year or three. They can all go and work there.

We have to stop contact in October but yes that’s a good shout will see.

Aiming to run sessions from September through to January mid week. Would love any suggestions as to how we can bring an element of competition into these.

The only issue is that the local ru clubs are actively coming onto them.

5 tries and a conversion.on debut for one of my lads today. A hat trick for another and two more solo tries. They are absolutely gutted the season is over. Hopefully will see some of them make the South origin side especially my quintuple scorer.

It does t preclude you but your observations would be more valid with them.

What’s you actual experience (s) of Rugby League in London. Not casual observations actual experience and that’s a genuine question btw.

No you are exact with all those observations from the fans forum.

Although this has just landed on LinkedIn: What a day! Today we delivered an away day for our charity partner DKMS UK’s senior management at Chiswick Rugby Club. From rugby skills and challenges to a lively game of tag rugby, it was all about highlighting how communication and teamwork are key — both in rugby league and in the workplace. A combination of activities on the pitch and workshops making for a truly memorable day for the charity. To work with London Broncos to deliver a exciting and impactful team building day for your business, email Lynsey at Lynsey.coleman@londonbroncosrl.com for bespoke packages.

On a positive- another of my students makes debut this weekend for Brixton and another returns from illness. At least six in the line up at u14.

The Foundation is working much better than previously and the pathways days/sessions have been great so much so that as coaches we have discussed putting on more. But it’s down to finance …

Difficult on coaching when London is so big and their own staff is limited in number

Broncos are needing to focus on themselves as I understand it.

That last sentence is incorrect. It’s been the failure of the RFL to appropriately support the spread of the game down here. Here’s a text I got from an ex colleague just yesterday. I’m consistently taking double figures to train at Brixton. These kids love it they just need the opportunity.

Who is that ?

Please elaborate ? I genuinely didn’t know about this?

I think in right in saying at the fans forum GH said that it was the final say of the club regardless of any fan feeling.

And that’s why London is so vital.

How about he gives 300kish back to help out?

It’s the number one pool.

Just got in from lions development sessions. Kids feedback was they LIKED the hounds moniker - felt it made the club sound more aggressive !

Ravens IMO is a non starter. The more I think of it the ditching of the name makes less and less sense. It’s been 30 plus years since the original change and apart from the fact it’s been a basket case it’s about the only vaguely consistent thing about the club.

What a way to run a sport…invite the poorest to the top table then give them the scantest meal and then wonder why they then try to spend way beyond their means trying to stay there…now where have I seen that before…..
