He also mentions in the same article that the Bulls are looking overseas for signings. I don't think we'd be doing that if the quota wasn't being raised. Also I thought Solly confirmed it on a radio q&a?

Yes your right, I have just not hear the exact figures for quota.

It's not so much the squad (which seems to be building well for the standard of the Championship) but where the money's coming from that's the problem.

Whisper it, but the RFL are funding us. They're got Dr Koukash's accountant on board so we can bust the salary cap, and we will be ensured promotion next season.

Any update as to where this decidedly average squad will be playing their home games in 2015. I seem to recall uncertainty surrounding this issue being a staple of our diet in 2012 and 2013, but surely we are settled now....aren't we?

Average squad. 23 of them won't be here next year so it's all change on the jubilee line. And don't forget there's a certain certainty in the uncertainty.

Former Warrington back Rhys Williams signs a 2 year deal.

Good signing imo.

Definitely...stood out for Swinton, each time he played against Leigh.

Rhys was supposed to be with us this season. He had all but agreed terms, with a couple of loanees from Wire as well, when the club went into meltdown.

A good signing at the new level as long as he is hungry.

Mr Grima has said 2 "big" forwards will be announced shortly.

More good news

I thought he came across well in the Q&A. Also made a point about not having an off/pre season for 2 years.

Very pleased with Williams, looking like a decent squad building

If we get the ball to WIlliams he'll score lots of tries next year. Very good signing for the Championship.

Just thinking of the English lads who've gone out to play Qld Cup, and Tyrone McCarthy's name comes to mind. He'd be a good shout in the second row.

He once played at the Stoop with a green beard, but yes, good player at Champ level I'd have thought

Bartheu and Baile on their way from Catalans too according to a poster on [urlhttp://www.totalrl.com/forums/index.php/topic/256543-broncos-sign-another-international/[/url

I've heard that too. Though suspect it's from the same source

The Barthau deal is nailed on. Haven't heard the Baille rumour but who knows.

Would be happy with both to be honest, especially Baille

Agrred, would be good to see them stay. They may not be quite big enough to cut it as SL props, but I can see plenty of SL clubs putting them in the second row.

Ah the reminiscences, but unfortunately we are where we are.
Still, when I get my time machine working we can go back and have another stab at it.

Barthau, Baile would be good news. At one stage, I thought we might have picked them up for 2014.

Shame that Steve Crossley has signed for Cas - was hoping he would be an arrival.

What a nice peaceful thread this is,without you know who !

Is it gonna be vive la cheveux next year then

Not a great driver Mr Barthau. Got a lift with him driving a tiny little car from Lezignan to Perpignan in Jan 2013. 140 kph on the A9 with a howling wind blowing HGVs around and then he starts texting! I was glad I had brown trousers on!
