As an example. There are players who have NRL contracts who can get out of them.

as opposed to my knowing "talks are positive and things are looking better" but following it up with a personal insult/comment regarding "my source"?

Players for 2014 are the least of our problems.....

You lost me.

never mind.

It's a remarkable saga, and it's not helped by the whole secret squirrel nature of the negotiations.

However, we are now only a matter of 12 or so weeks before the kick off of the 2014 competition. Putting things off for another 2 weeks reduces that further. There comes a point when all the goodwill in the world can't put a team on the pitch. What are they going to do ? Whip round the local amateur sides and stick seventeen likely lads into a coach with a random collection of kit and tell them to find their own size as they drive up to face Widnes ?

There's taking it to the wire, and there's making things impossible.

Completely agree. Let's get Russell Crowe involved making a Cinderella story about this epic saga and bring the world the fantastic sporting spectacle of how the the mighty London Broncos survived oblivion in the face of all adversity. Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.

There was a rumour the academy side with a few older heads would play next season.
But as we know the top end boys have been released and the Academy closed.
Maybe a squad of the younger supporters could fulfill the fixtures!!

Well as I said quite vocally several times from the stands last year the u16s and u14s from a couple of teams in the junior league showed more passion for the game and had a better defensive pattern than the broncos in many a game so maybe thats the plan, get the kids from croydon/medway etc to pull the shirt on

They are all off to the dark side and maybe too late.

So I guess I can confidently take the Broncos 2014 shirt off of my Christmas list now.

Some have signed for Skolars. That's the 19 year olds I mean.
But a fair few have gone to union .

This fat bird may be booked for a date in Bradford soon by all accounts. The mutterings on their board regarding the recent creation of a new holding company and the demise of OK bulls Ltd (900k in debt IIRC) combined with some unpleasant announcements by their CEO at tonight's ST Holder only forum point to their being "trouble up'mill".

I can see why we keep getting into financial trouble, but how a club like Bulls keep doing it is beyond me. Pathetic.

Dont think any of us should be having a dig at other clubs finances, look like the bulls initial problems were never sorted in the first place.

It's not having a dig at other clubs, it is more pointing out to many in the North, that it's just not London that has problems!

I wasn't.....I was simply pointing out that we aren't alone.

UtS please ignore. Maybe we all should too?

Can't believe my @alljoinjack roomy @TherealSeanLong has got a job in London with the Broncos


==================================



... and one of our leavers may be staying after all.

Wow, the first sign that we may survive after all!

Would that be Gus then who is staying

Clubb has had a last minute rethink?

Or Wigan realised he was injury prone & not all that?

Not for export to Oz I presume?

I was hoping some good news would have broken today if things were so close to completion last week.

Same. Think the full working 10 days will be used for any news I spose. Waiting anxiously till next Wednesday I guess :/
