Bucking Broncos want Acton : Wed Nov 16, 2016 12:07 pm  

London Broncos have become surprise contenders to sign Leigh Centurios forward enforcer Jamie Acton.

Acton, 24, and originally from London, is rumoured to be out of favour at Leigh and if the Centurions can manage to secure the services of their much coveted extra prop which they want it is thought they will allow Acton to move on.

Despite a questionable disciplinary record it is thought Andrew Henderson, the Broncos coach, would be interested in signing Acton for the promotion-targeting southern club. If he was to sign his signing would fit into Henderson's recent recruitment strategy of signing players with roots down south who can provide the club with commitment, similar to Kieran Dixon and Michael Channing.

London have confirmed there will be one more signing before their recruitment is complete.

Pure conjecture and rumour by people playing silly games. Jamie has settled in the North West, has a growing gym business based in Leigh and is looking forward to a season in Super League!

We have more front rowers than you can shake a stick at - Ioane, Spencer, Battye, Pitts, Offerdahl, Bienek, Bustin, Mannone (trial) and talk of Roqica - why would we want this penalty machine ?

Evans, not Pitts

And unless we've signed former Arsenal keeper Vito, it's Mammone not Mannone
