| Why is it that nearly every post in this forum goes off topic and the post ends up with the same old argument about the past?
I notice that apart from a handful of people, no one bothers to post.

1 Do some research on other teams sites and you will see a trend of going of topic
2 Thats because we have no fans and nothing to discuss
Why don't you add something of value to discuss rather than sitting in your chair moaning. Lets challenge you to setting of the next thread- go on inspire us, Mr Inspirational

| Ps- when you saw that there was 4 pages on Lovell did you really think there was that much to discuss about a poor player at this level? Just a thought

| Well when a thread on a signing of a junior member of the squad goes to 4 pages, I think it shows that we have lots to talk about WQ yep quite often goes back to a similar discussion but does that not show that really we all care?

1. Why would I want to research other teams sites? My interest is in the Broncos.
2. Perhaps it's because all the threads, no matter what the topic, end up with the same argument that only a handful of people appear interested in.
Why should I start a topic that would immediately drift off topic and would end up as a argument about the merits, or otherwise of DH, a handful ex-employees of LB or the past marketing strategy of the club. I've read it all before!
I'll post again when some more interesting discussions are taking place.

| WQ
I said “a junior member of the squad”, not a junior player, he has squad number 21 puts him pretty low down the order, so yes a junior member of the squad that will need guidance from the senior players a bit like Lewis B

| Lu2 if you did look at threads on other clubs boards, you will see some have nothing at all. Those that do tend to meander around the topic, quite usually ending up on something totally different from the first post just like on here.
Some folk get very animated and very excited about things, some like to argue or debate depending on your view, some look at things in a negative view some positive, some even get upset.
Some look to what’s to come others are all about what’s happened, but despite everything it’s because we all care about the club even when we disagree about stuff.

I don't care at what volume you read it, so long as you do. You are in denial if you think that the club lives within its means...a number of other posters ave attempted to explain it to you but as usual, you're totally incapable of accepting you are wrong.
Quote ="LU2"Why is it that nearly every post in this forum goes off topic and the post ends up with the same old argument about the past?'"
Lovell was the past...he is now the future apparently and therefore we are on topic and AFIK, the content of a forum is delivered by it's members, so why not comment on Lovell and what you think he brigs to the side?
Quote ="LU2"I notice that apart from a handful of people, no one bothers to post.'"
That's because open debate was outlawed a while back and "the party line had to be toed", even though most contributors on here could see that the club was being decimated, saying as much was an offence! There are plenty of people I know who no longer attend games any more.....it's not because they didn't like the conversation that were had before, rather that they were right in their assertion that we were heading for the exit door and don't see the point in bothering any more because no matter what they say or do, it has no impact on the 1 person who has got us to where we are......
Quote ="northernbloke"Well when a thread on a signing of a junior member of the squad goes to 4 pages'"
Made his London debut in 2012...he's not junior at all, just indicative of how far we have fallen and as has been alluded to by LU2.......it may be 4 pages but strictly on topic it ain't!

| LU2 contrary to dogs claim, open debate was never outlawed in his words. What actually happened was when someone decided that personal abuse of club officials and constant use of foul language was there chosen approach they quite rightly get asked to leave!
Apparently folk don’t attend games because they don’t get an e mail, phone call, letter, car to pick them up to take them to the game, or, we kept losing and folk don’t like to watch a team loosing, then we dropped a league, the draw of batley not quite the same as leeds or wigan, so drifted away to other things.
Some folk on here see the answer to a debate as, no yr wrong and I am right, rather than saying, hey that’s your opinion let’s see how it turns out.
For some there is a desperate need to constantly lay blame for what’s happened. But hey it keeps em happy.
For me.
Welcome back Will Lovell, reckon any starts he will get will be off the bench this year, hope he builds into a decent squad member and adds summat.
FWIW his pro record for the games played he has scored more than Mark Loane who is probably the most experienced squad member.

Actually, that's not what happened at all, but you believe what you want.

We were hemorrhaging fans and cash for years before it got to the stage where we were heading for the trap door.....
Quote ="northernbloke"Some folk on here see the answer to a debate as, no yr wrong and I am right, rather than saying, hey that’s your opinion let’s see how it turns out.'"
Simply put, in the case of you saying the club are living within their means, you are wrong and various other posters are right. Your answer to debate is to repeat that Hughes debt isn't s debt, even though it has been explained that fiscally, it is a debt that sits on our books until either paid or written off......your assumption that Hughes will write it off may well be right, but at present, it is an assumption and not fact.....it's not a valid opinion when faced with the cold hard fact that the debt sits on our current set of accounts.....and therefore means we are living beyond our means!
Quote ="northernbloke"For some there is a desperate need to constantly lay blame for what’s happened. But hey it keeps em happy.'"
As oft repeated...Einstein reckoned that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity....I will therefore repeat going over the mistakes of the past until the idiot paying the bills stops doing the same thing over and over again......we have no back-office staff to speak of, an untried coach, are indebted to the owner for 2 million a year (as we were at the big bad nasty stoop) and have an average squad who are apparently on very good full time money.....we also have 3,300 fewer fans attending games than we did when Hughes became the sole owner, or 43,000 over the season who at 15 quid a pop would remove 33% of our reliance on Hughes.......it really is simple maths.
Quote ="northernbloke"For me.

He's average......so he'll fit right in at the wedding venue.

Some snippets from the opening stages of this thread......multiple people underwhelmed and one discerning voice who refuses to accept he's ever wrong.....
Quote ="Dave Lister"Another absolutely awful 'signing'.'"
Quote ="northernbloke"Nice to see a positive response to something the club has done.'"
Quote ="PC Plum"With Dave Lister on this, unless the plan is to play Lovell in a back up utility half / hooker role.'"
Quote ="Dave Lister"You're new round here aren't you? Lovell is a pudding.'"
Quote ="Bostwick"Nothing against the guy and I hope it works out. It does not fill me with confidence though.'"
Quote ="northernbloke"Yeah Dave, brand new to the game I know nothing about the game or supporting my club! Face facts folks we are trying to live within our means.'"
Quote ="Exiled down south"He's a typical Mac signing, middle of the road utility second rower. (who can fill in elsewhere)
Underwhelming to say the least'"
Quote ="Exiled down south"Does that mean every announcement should be met positively with excitement no matter how poor? or will you allow us to make an informed judgement ??Even you would struggle to add positive spin to this one'"
Quote ="Call Me God"No we aren't......if we were doing that we'd be part-time at best.......as for Lovell, I'm with Listy on this.'"
.....so plenty bothered until the unofficial positive police took over decrying any negative remarks as an offence.

| Dog, notice you only picked out the negative responses, you didn’t bother with the positive ones, nothing like balancing your arguement. What you have listed was 4 folk who think this is a terrible signing, but you missed out the 3 that suggested he could do a reasonable job.

......and that statement reinforces the mediocrity level the club now accepts as acceptable. Hence why the downward spiral continues.
He wont get one MOM, provide anything other than a fill in when we are short in the pack or centre position.............
I'm now of the view this post is not about WL(who is average at best) but more about where the club has fallen too in-terms of where we sit, where we play, club staffing, playing staff, coaching standards, crowds.........the future

| WQ, what’s MOM got to do with anything? Bit of a confusing statement. No club signs players on how many times they are going to get MOM.
No one has claimed he is going to be a star player or the fella that’s going to go out and score the winning try every game. He has been signed as a second rower, what do you want from that sort of player? Impact and defence. Going forward it’s about making the defence work, in defence it’s hitting hard and not missing any tackles. If he plays centre then he could break the line he is big enough, as long as he then feeds his winger.
Average art best maybe! But every team has to have its average player, not everyone is a star.

| Sadly its one of only two signings which again is an indicator of where we are at. We lost 2 star players(+ a starting second rower) and brought in WL + 1 other as replacements
At one point it will click NB. You will eventually see the club is going in one direction.
