welshmagpie Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 When the only pro club down south moves to semi-pro status in severe budget saver mode it’s bound to happen. This all given the fact he and his family are settled in Surrey. Sad to lose him to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadera78 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Looks like a part-time gig so he has something to do. Might lead to other things in union, I guess, which would be a huge shame.

Hughsehhh Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Really frustrating. He seemed destined for big things, over achieved with the Broncos, was on the GB Lions tour as an assistant, and now we lose him to some team I've never heard of, and I live near that part of London.

Eddie Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 On the plus side he may learn some different coaching skills there and then come back to League, he wouldn’t be the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashmon Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 he will be on a lot more money than Mr Mustard, will have a better squad to work with than Mr Mustard, and will probably have more success. So its a no brainer really However with Danny Ward, even with the squad London have, they would have won the Haven and York games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jughead Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Far more potential opportunities in Union than there is in League, he’s got his foot in the door. Shame he’s not been given an opportunity in the sport here but maybe he didn’t want one and didn’t want to move away from the life he’s built in the south.

OriginalMrC Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Worst mistake Broncos ever made sacking Danny Ward. Just another demonstration of how poorly run the Broncos are. Would love to know how much money senior management at the club are on while running them into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be backed by one or more directors putting money in. Think some people here would be staggered at the playing budget some RU clubs have in the national leagues.

Any idea if they get central funding too? We’ve just significantly cut the funding for clubs like London Skolars in League One, I’m sure clubs at Rugby Union’s equivalent level will have far more spending power than them.

Funding outside the top tier has been slashed in RU. I could be wrong but I think Nat L1 clubs in RU only receive travel expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Funnily enough ,Rosslyn Park FC and London Broncos share the same training field and venue facilities. Would not be surprised if Ward ends up back coaching the Broncos in 2022 or 2023. Rosslyn Park are more then likely getting promoted this season already,well prior to Wards appointment,no not sure of the need for him now. If Broncos decide to sack Coleman,they won't put the assistant as head coach will they now.Ward is at the front door. And with that same squad,I think they win the Haven,York games.

Pretty sure Ward wouldn't go back unless there is a change of senior management and a promise of financial backing.

We rent them from Rosslyn Park is my understanding. They are their facilities. I don't think they need to pay anyone to use them. EDIT My error. It's Richmond we throw money at for training, isn't it? Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

The storm Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 To be honest Coleman is not in the same ball park as ward People must surely know this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelic Cynic Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Jamie Langley,Rob Powell and Ward all left within the last 12 months, and all to the other code. They seem to have foreseen the potential downward spiral. No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Gordon Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Richmond is indeed where the academy is based and where the reserves play. I've lost track of the first team's training whereabouts but they signed up for 3 years at Rosslyn Park only a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
