How's Boudebza gone with you? He was excellent with us in his first season, earned his year extension but never seemed able to reproduce his form second time around.

Re: New Signings/Squad : Wed Aug 16, 2017 2:37 pm  

I suspect he is just short term as we have 2 good hookers(1 injured at mo). has played OK

Was hoping for more to be honest. Not a poor player but hasn't added anything, either.

I think Battye is a hard worker, and I'd prefer to keep him and Evans ahead of Spencer who has consistently been injury-prone his entire career. That said, the latter has another year on his contract unfortunately. Roqica doesn't run hard enough given his size so he'd be no loss. Bienek is impressive and another pre-season would hopefully see him ready to play on a more regular basis. Definitely need to find a big mofo prop to give us more oomph though.

Agree with the call for a strong, pacy centre on the right hand side.

Hopefully Pearce-Paul and Pointer are given new contracts. Both are still young and have potential.

Oh, and Walker needs to put on another stone in the off-season.

If Battye is looking for a new contract he has to be more disciplined. I think you're right about both Evans and Roqica - and yes, a powerful centre is a must.

Daniel Harrison & Eddie Battye have signed for another year. Sam Wilde is off to Widnes. https://londonbroncosrl.com/news/skippe ... year-deal/ https://londonbroncosrl.com/news/battye ... th-london/

As expected, looks like Garside is off.
To Bradford.

Re: New Signings/Squad : Mon Sep 18, 2017 11:51 am  

Why on earth would garside go there? Is Bradford home for him?

If we can't attract a couple of heavy hitters for the front/second row from the north, then I'd look to the 2nd tier NSW/QLD cup sides. If this is our last year 2018) as a FT squad, then we need to get a couple or maybe 3 Hungry 2nd graders from Au/NZ and give them a chance to get in the SL shop window in return for 30 games next year....there's a few Hunters forwards who aren't flash, but they move in a straight line and are hard to take down!

Agree, this is the key to next season, two (at least) big/hard forwards who will give us grunt, go forward and allow us to dominate.............

Last year as a FT squad????
