Don’t fancy us for this one. Any opposing views?
I fear we may not meet our usual 10 points per game stat either.

After the Sheffield game I'm afraid we maybe on a hiding at Leigh

Is the supporters coach going?

The Official Supporters Group vespa?

No they had very few takers and it got cancelled - can't think why

Oh!!

I cannot see anything but a significant defeat.

Hard to believe one team will not consign this Broncos side to a record defeat unless there is an influx of talent.

To be honest I’d put our kids or reserves out for this game, don’t want to risk any of the first choice players ( yeah I know, we’re not exactly spoilt for choice) getting injured before the must-win game against Dewsbury

That sounds like forward thinking RfE which I'm not sure is part of Broncos psychology but I agree with you. While the youngsters getting stuffed by 100+ or whatever might not be good for their confidence there is far too much at stake short term to worry about that.

Academy are playing at home on Sunday (assuming we have medical staff etc.

). I would encourage people to get down and watch them even if they can't stand the thought of watching the first team currently

Difficulty here is separating who is a reserve and who a first teamer. Not always obvious to the untrained eye. I suggest we ask Skolars if they’ll lend us all their players and go with that.

Forget that. Is the 1st team coach going? His post match interviews are getting more downbeat. I wonder if he can face it let alone the team!

On a serious note. Surely there will be a fine or disciplinary action taken for that fiasco? Charlotte Baxter is head of Medical and we have 1 Physio listed. We supposedly have 4 teams running this year, 1st, Reserve, Academy and Ladies......at some stage in the summer Charlotte will struggle to be at 2 venues (or more) at once?

Leigh will look at this game as a chance to boost their +/-. Fev dropped a point in their draw with Batley and I suspect that a few more "surprise" results over the season might see points difference the selector of Home/Away advantage at the end.

Leigh will stick 60+ points on us. Not sure if we will score but it won't really matter. I look forward to Mustards Broncos career obituary sooner rather than later with his replacement from The Pitching In Isthmian Football League being unveiled as the future of "cross-code" coaching

This playing 2 matches on one day is stretching our non existent back room staff beyond what is reasonable. I wonder if someone told us that the Academies League plays on Saturdays and we fell for it?

Broncos applied for Elite Academy status and got it. It needs to be backed up with appropriate funds and resources. As far as I know, home fixtures are played on Sunday which on a couple of occaisions so far clashed with first team. However, the fixture that got cancelled was not one of these.

We also chose to run a reserve side which not many other Championship clubs seem to do.

Of course, if we were still at Trailfinders all games could have been played at the same venue.

But this way, we're making thousands of pounds more in the corporate hospitality suite........

Game is available on our league apparently.

Well we will not be facing Kieran Dixon on Sunday.. He has been sent out by Leigh to Widnes, on a two week loan.

It’s surprising how many of the players we have mislaid over the last couple of seasons are not regular starters or even irregular starters at their new teams. I hope our management are monitoring this as we need some more quality in the side. Having said that I’m unsure whether 2 weeks loans of good players are more disruptive than helpful unless to cover an injury rather than quality deficiency. Imagine being bumped for 2 weeks and then brought back in. It’s not like the player has improved...it’s pretty much a vote of no confidence .

Hi Orangeman, has it been confirmed that it's home advantage for the team finishing top? I can't seem to find that info anywhere.

Coleman’s thoughts are now on the website. I’ll leave others to digest but one minor point if anyone from the club is logging in. Is that photo of Coleman really the best we can do? To me he doesn’t look confident/positive etc but rather confused/unhappy/ angry/broken. I can understand that only too well but is that really the image we want to present to the world? I’m sure it’s a 5 minute job to fix this going forward and get a more constructive picture on the go.

Talking of poor decision making I have signed up for the OURLEAGUE stream. I think it’s worth supporting the initiative although whether what I see will entertain me is open to debate.

I had a look as well and couldn’t find it but I could swear that this is what they said would happen. Either way it will be played in Featherstone or Leigh I suspect.

They'll announce it when they figure out a way of stopping Featherstone being promoted
