There’s never been any relegation from League One.
I thought not. Maybe there should be so teams like WWR can get their act together and also to give other teams a chance.

What’s the aim at Skolars this year? Just survival and play all their games? Seek new investment? Do something a bit bold like Coventry?
Skolars are lucky that WWR and Cornwall are in L1. Chargers gave them a real good game on Saturday in the end and could probably beat WWR.
Is there relegation from L1 to conference this year?

Latu would have to have improved a hell of a lot before I'd ever let him pull on a Broncos jersey again
Yes there's no doubting that, however he was played out of position for us last year so I'd give him a chance to prove himself in the centres. He's a big unit. Him alongside siti and ulberg in the attacking line I think will cause problems for defences. Time will tell.

Middles for me are bienick foster pulumbo with tuilatu off bench which means need another middle. Left edge too slow to respond or fitness issue?
Agreed. I didn't realise how big Palumbo is. Tuliatu has a good leg drive on him.
Sort the defence out wide and we stand a better chance. Paulos Latu at centre will help when he comes back.
If the majority of those missing on Sunday are fit in time for Haven then we will be ok.

Don’t understand how Bienek who has SL experience from Hull/Castleford can be on the bench while the coach started with Greenhalgh the ex skolars player who looked completely out of place.
Yep. Also Rob Tuliatu coming on for Brad Foster when both of them should be on the pitch at the same time. Shows the complete lack in depth we have.
As somebody else here said, there should be a couple (at least) who shouldn't expect another game in a broncos shirt, but then again tis the broncos and they'll probably be in starting lineup next week.
We desperately need the three Aussies in the squad and we need to get a goal kicker, was it Coates? who missed two absolute sitters and as for the one from the sidelines...it didn't even get above the ground.
Whitehaven is a MUST-win in two weeks time.

How did the Skolars lads go? did they look out of place?
Macani played well and made a fair few metres to give the forwards a break
Juma was similar in attack but weak in defence
Dalton Grant played ok, he is experienced and reliable enough, he just didn't get many opportunities out wide due to the slow distribution from the halves and back line
Greenhalgh is unfit and was struggling to get back 10m after about 5 minutes

Yes pal confirmed.
I am assuming Foster was there for travel reason's,being a Yorkshire lad would've made the trip alot easier then a Southerner like
I kno he’s part time but surely he lives in London?!

Will Lovell
Is that confirmed?
I presumed he would be based on the fact he was our captain last season however in RFL's championship launch, Brad Foster is there flying the flag for London.

Looks like Brad Foster will captain the Broncos for the 2022 season

Open training session int stadium lastnight I attended along with some other members.
Must say,class atmosphere there at Plough Lane,be a right day with bums on seats there.
Squad looked large in numbers,from what I could tell and were told,all players were there with the exception of the Fijian lad Siti.
That's good to hear.
How did we look in terms of set piece training etc?
And we've always needed big forwards up-front - do we look ok for size?

O'Donnell's departure has been confirmed by the club. he was one player I was excited about.
Hopefully we can get a replacement quickly.

Saints champs
Toulouse will win a few at home just a question of how many away wins they will get. I fancy Them to survive and Salford to be relegated.
Fev to be in SL 2023, I don’t rate Leigh’s squad as much

O'Donnell on his way back to Cumbria apparently?
Not good if true. Where did you hear this?
So one possibly leaving before season has started. Parata, siti and palumbo arent here yet. Wellington is still injured. Do the they know we have a competitive game on the 30th?
Widnes have been training together as a full squad since December... -

Nothing to stop them doing offers but a kids ticket is a fiver maximum surely....
We have literally no fans left and there will be thousands of empty seats .... what possible advantage is there to charging £12 instead of a fiver?
Any families are pretty much guaranteed to be put off and of course that means dad might go but not his family of 4 as it could have been
I was at Fev yesterday and there were loads and loads of local kids milling around as always....many seemed to be younger teenagers in groups ....some of them loitering and annoying but I'd bloody well take it if we could get our local kids into the stadium
Fiver max. I’d let them go free. They need all the support possible so there’s no harm. Most parents would probably end up getting themselves and their child a burger and drink and spend more than £12 anyway

Re. ticket sales for the Widnes game. I think they're up to around 500. Whether this is good/bad is relative to one's expectations. To me, it suggests a 4-figure crowd on the day. I expect some freebies have still to be allocated to schools and Widnes will bring a good number. Plus walk-ups.
I think they’ve sold around 600
add possibly 100 AFC Wimbledon fans
(AFC season ticket holders can get a ticket for £1) and another 100 to pay on the day
I’d expect some schools/local amateur clubs to have been offered group deals
I think Widnes could bring 100+
I’d say we’ll get 1,200
1500 and a win would be the dream these days

Yeah. Hopefully he'll blend in well with TBC. See https://londonbroncosrl.com/mens-first-team/
It's not competitive doom-mongering, it's rational disaffection.
Under 3 weeks now until our season starts and we still don't know our official squad.
We desperately need a pre-season friendly. Which other Championship and L1 teams haven't got a friendly lined up yet? All I can think of is the re-arranged game V Skolars but can't see that happening as Skolars have about 8 players!

Have they announced Dalton Grant? I’ve seen him in training pics but no announcement at all - strange of them if they haven’t.
No they didn't in the same way they announced everyone else. Also Ulberg was announced on the website (and not on twitter etc) then the website press release got removed. He is in the squad though.
All a bit weird if you ask me

good luck to the coleman bros!
It would be good to hear from them i.e an interview of some sorts. Then again Broncos have never been good at communicating with their fans and using social media properly. Still waiting for squad numbers and the website to be updated.....

will be interesting to see how this group of players go.....its all about staying in the championship this year for me.
Yes I think avoiding the drop will be seen as a success this year.
Interesting that the bookies and several championship prediction articles have us finishing around 8th or 9th.

Seems an astute signing.
I think Broncos will be OK this year. But then I’m not of those who engage in competitive doom-mongering, each trying to outdo the other
That's why I steer clear of RLFans, too much doom and gloom for me!
