Do you think in a previous life, Ralph Rimmer was the Titanic's Captain?

Skolars are very poor

I have to be honest EB despite being reasonably local, it’s not just the fact that they play on Saturday that has dissuaded me from going. However, in the spirit of supportiveness I do wish them all the best. Interestingly Paulos Latu, who was hapless for us, has been one of their best players week on week, by all accounts. Nice to see Christian Gale playing as well. Attrition rate in the game is very high so good that players can stay in the game and develop.

Nah....that skipper went down with his ship. Rimmer will be feathering a nest elsewhere whilst his current job goes undone.
Reminds me of a fielding supremo who after abandoning ship at the broncos spent a year on leave, a couple of years idling at a now non existent start up ended up reducing crowds at Worcester whilst alienating everyone there too....before returning to the job marketplace again
..job done

With infections still high & ICUs becoming busier, Covid could well come back to haunt us over winter/spring. Scotland has already suggested they may have to have some sort of lockdown at some stage. Maybe a good time financially to be p/t apart from the ground share.

And one could say LB are competitive?

On a downward trajectory but yes I would say outside top two they have been to some degree or other competitive as opposed to losing most home games.

Scorelines at Skolars home games this year have been;

18-35, 14-34, 34-38, 12-14, 46-30, 16-16, 14-24, 10-62, 24-44.

So two defeats by twenty and one hammering for Skolars this year at home. Skolars have been more than competitive this year and it’s actually been very enjoyable to see so many close games, though a little frustrating to see Skolars throw some games away.

If you wanted to support a winning team, can I ask how many people would select London Broncos? For the most part, the last decade, probably longer, has seen Broncos lose more than they’ve won.

Defensively very ordinary… the games I saw( 4/5). Latu did stand out. Would t be surprised if he joined broncos again
Let’s see what next year brings !

I’d travel up to saints !!icon_smile.gif

Jermaine Coleman set to be the next Broncos coach. Thoughts anyone?

Not sure he's what we need, but probably what we can afford. Not sure how Danny going early so new coach can settle in works unless Tom gets the gig.

I cannot see Tom getting the job.

Me neither so another baffling Hughes decision re Danny.

Prob sums up the ambition of the club. Looking forward to the unveiling of our new signings, from Skolars

Ward was leaving at the end of the year anyway, so Hughes saying "go now' is just another heart over mind brain fart from doddery Dave. As for Jermain Coleman. He's got a RL pedigree, plays the game and coaches a side already and has is the skipper of Jamaica. Given the RLWC is happening next year, this wouldn't be the worst Public Relations exercise. I'd like to see Tony Rea come back as some for of advisor. He had a real knack for finding gems in Australia and I think we're going to need at least 3 or 4 NSW/QLND cup players if we are to survive next year.
I am struggling to find any positives from ths whole farce, but if we have a plan, I really think the club need to let the fans know sooner rather than later. York and then maybe a play off game before 5 months of nothing....what few fans they have left may well drift away and they need a core of support, because all the noise from Wimbledon is exactly what we heard at Charlton, Twickenham, Charlton, Brentford, Twickenham, Barney and Ealing.......there has to be a bigger picture plan.....the best bet is reactivating lapsed fans. Wimbledon fans aren't going to magically become RL fans and if that's the basis of this move then we really are dead men walking...

Given what's happened at the Broncos over the last several years I can only assume that Hughes' wealth was acquired on the back of luck rather than competence?

He's a "Broker".......buys oil when it's cheap sells it on for a profit It's a pretty niche market and pretty lucrative. Over his career he will have built up a network of connections, so his "still working" at 75yrs of age won't be too taxing. He funds the cub through his current income, not his nest egg.
He is on record in a book called a Pastel Revolution saying he knows little about marketing or running a business,,,,,,I think the real issue is he knows little about how to recruit people who are qualified to do these jobs for him.
He currently has a CEO who was the club accountant and a kit aggregator running the fiscal side of things.....

He’s certainly invested a lot of effort in the pre match diversity stance which bodes well for his organisational skills but I’d stick with TT he was well thought of at Coventry and he has been thrust into a difficult situation underprepared.

Sorry Victor I thought you were just throwing a quirky name out there. I should have known better.

The manner of our loss to Toulouse did it for Tom Tsang. He was out of the running from the final hooter of that game.

Doddery Dave at it again I expect.....although how anyone was supposed to coach our paper thin squad to be competitive against the #1 side in the comp is perplexing.
I wonder if Joey Grima was considered?

I think you may well be right and I quite like the zero tolerance to hammering s approach the trouble is with this squad we’ve got through. 2 coaches already with that approach. If it carries on I give Coleman two games next season then, if true to from, the West Wales manager will take over.

...still be better than Joey
