Grant didn't pull on a Broncos jersey in the season leading up to the RLWC as he was injured, so goodness knows how he got a Wales squad place. Good luck to him.

Pretty pleased with this signing.

A player Kear obviously knows/trusts who obviously really wanted to come (sounds like he was back in pre-season for London and under contract).

I thought he looked really useful whenever he played against us for Dewsbury. Quick, good finisher and plenty of experience at Championship level.

He must be an improvement on Macani. Hope his injury problems are behind him now.

If we sign Alex Brown as well I think we should be happy. Him and Grant are players that know the coach, want to play for him and will make the likes of Ryan/Oakes/Smith/Gibson really work for their places in the side. Also a bit more age and depth added to our young squad.

Look at this, posted back in September! Maybe Chalmers was on here looking for inspiration

You've signed some rubbish from the Broncos in recent times

Not kidding. Thankfully most of them have been sent packing. This one is from Wales though so he at least has a better pedigree than one of them there soft Southern b*ggers like Oscar Thomas or Iliess Macani.

Don't forget the fastest backrower in Super League, as well.

I continue to try to forget him.

Incidentally another massively disappointing and under-performing ex London & Bradford winger has just had news announced. Omari Caro signed for Skolars.

That's at least one hat trick against us guaranteed then...

I find it annoying that while London have been sending us dross in recent times, we've sent them Jay Pitts and Adrian Purtell, both great players at Championship level.

Not so sure on Purtell, I always thought he was past it before he left us. Don't think he played all that much too last season due to injury.

Pitts though was an awful loss for us. Think I saw that he won an award for the Broncos too. Not sure if it was player of the year, forward of the year, players' players etc. but he won something.

We have lads coming through that will be at least as good as Pitts but we have missed his workrate even if he lacked a bit in size.

I think we've had some awful ones from Broncos, but also some not bad ones.

Think Jon Magrin went well last year for us and Joe Keyes I'm sure is one who will really look to establish himself this year too.

This season we have also got Matty Garside who on paper looks a great signing for us.

It's also worth pointing out we didn't send them Pitts

Hmm
Rikki Sherrife
Paul Sykes
Just throwing another couple out there. Make ur own judgements

Paul Sykes you could probably argue we shafted each other on. Still remember to this day him being on loan from Bradford to London and him playing against us (think it was at Valley Parade). Threw one of his god awful centre passes to absolutely nobody that he did a lot later in this career for us, and everyone was convinced he was throwing the game because he technically belonged to the Bulls. He wasn't throwing it, he just couldn't pass straight.

You are right about Pitts. Broncos have just made him club captain.
Without doubt you have taken some poor players from London.

Haha let's not get drawn into a debate over semantics!

We’ve signed a few gems hidden amongst the dross though.

Paul Sykes for example (although he played for us originally) joined us and ended up being the lynchpin of the England team in the World Cup.
He played every position in one match.

Then there is Worrincy of course. What an athlete!

Ah! That explains it you were his Coach at the time!

I remember he left me and Dilligaff speechless with his defence against Saints at Knowsley Rd!

Yeah, well he left Saints speechless too, though not [iquite[/i so dumbfounded that they couldn't stroll through the gaps...

Wassock! Remember the wonder try he scored at St Helens?

Like all the players fans seem to take a dislike to he definitely had his moments!

Rikki Sheriffe, for instance, he scored some good tries too, though we've had plenty others who looked decent on attack but left a bit to be desired when the other team had possession...

How dare you?!? Worrincy and Sheriffe scored the two tries that beat Leeds 10-6 at home in 2009.

Great game! That huge mazy run Sherrife did prior to scoring was class!
