| Quote ="crashmon"I'm starting to wonder if there is a cunning plan for all of this
1) Decision to split to 2x10 teams for SL1 and SL2 is delayed unitl 2023
2) This means that 2022 is not the key season, 2023 will be
3) In 2023, if they decide to split for the 2024 season, they might allow the 2023 L1 winners a spot in SL2, as a promotion reward. (or have a playoff vs 8th in Champ)
4) Winning L1 in 2023 would be easier than finishing top 8 in Championship.
So are we planning to get relegated in 2022, and then push for a 2023 winning L1 to get us into 2024 SL2. As this can be the only reason for us filling the squad with L1 players, and letting our better championship players go.'"
Love a good conspiracy theory but where does paying for 3 bases fit into that. Admittedly AFC's performances are falling away towards the relegation area which might attract few more of them to give us a go but we still need a winning team which looks unlikely.

| Another ex Skolar, Rob Tuliatu has signed. We are definitely building a League One side. This is not going well!

Fret not he has also played for West Wales Raiders so quality assured. Googled him. Big player. Interview said he play anywhere, literally anywhere, to avoid being under cooked for World Cup. Hmmm do you think management know we are currently playing Championship level.

| Not sure if it's possible to be more underwhelmed than I was after our first handful of signings, but if it is then I most definitely am.
On the other hand, a Solicitor on the books might be handy should they be sued for impersonating a Championship team.

Could be useful to have one on the books if we want to sue over points deductions....................................................

Could be a lot of points deductions if we consider everywhere north of M62 a foreign country.

I agree. It feels mean spirited when these guys are joining the club and hoping to do well but it is thin gruel. If I understand correctly Albert hopes to be fit for next season so he’s not even a guaranteed starter.
I assume the impressive signings will coincide with the push for ST sales.
2(?) weeks until training starts - looking dodgy isn’t it.

| see I was right... cunning plan to win L1 in 2023..
Only problem is the rent cost will kill us before we get to that point, with 300 fans watching us lose each week by 40+ next year, how long will Dave hold the fort before the big 2023 push

| Sorry to see Chris Hankinson has been released by Wigan Warriors, rate him so highly, what a superb season he gave us, both with tries, and his amazing goal conversion rate he delivered for us!
Every young players aim is to play for their home town club, I know quite a few players strangely it didn't happen for them, no doubts Chris will continue to go on and find Success!

I was going to say I was a bit concerned that he had no L1 experience. Thanks for putting me straight. Sigh.

Good player with a good attitude. He’s going to TO. I thought Leigh would step in but TO will be an interesting move for him. I wish him well.

And the other team he’s played for is West Wales.!!!! Get the feeling we aren’t fishing in the right pool here? Accidents happen but there is generally a reason why teams end up going to the 2 worst teams in the pyramid and we now have 2 who’ve played for both. We’ll see on the field what is what but it’s extremely naive of the club to think any one is impressed by this approach. Then there is the issue of the size of our squad and the fact it is completely new meaning it will need to bed in. Jeez.........

I don't think TO will have too many problems staying up. Think they've got a gem in Hankinson and should he have a good season there's a World Cup coming up...........................

| On the plus side WWR and Skolars players are used to getting thrashed every week, so 2022 at the Broncos will feel like home to them,and there is not much chance they will get poached mid season by Cornwall or Midland Hurricanes, or the lights of Doncaster /Hunslet / Keighley

He will be snapped up either by a SL or Championship club. He is worth his place in a team for his goal kicking.

I notice no mention was made of the Skolars link in the press release. Too embarrassed to mention it?
