The reason Town have had to call on Wigan players is because out of a squad of 24 we have 9 out injured. Burgess is in our team because we had Manfredi covering for one of our injured players but he got called in to Wigans first team last night and Burgess was put with us. Connor Farrell played 16 games for us last season and Lewis Tierney played 11 or 12. All the Wigan players were in the list sent to RFL 48 hours before the kick-off time. It is up to clubs if they want to publicly announce their squads but you will find them on the RFL website fixtures page by clicking on the Preview button "P" so there is no mystery about it.

Closer to 600 I believe

Will be struggling to match the crowds at Chiswick at this rate... Saying that they played pretty risk free footie today which is a start so perhaps 4th is a possibility once we have realised how you have to play in this league.

According to Gav Wilson on the TotalRL forum the attendance was 583,[size=50which is 51 more tan the Crusaders got for a Challenge Cup first round tie against an amateur side.[/size

I'll take 583, given it was a Cumbrian side and the tube disruption aswell as the two away defeats. Still a concern but as with our defence, lets not get carried away with doom and gloom.

I have to say that is the first time in a long while I've come away from a Bronco's game having enjoyed watching the team and feeling positive

Also nice touch for some of the players to shake fans hands at the end
