To Huddersfield as whispered.

Great news

If you read the Huddersfield statement they say he did really well in the NFL and his challenge is to recapture that form. Strangely they don't mention his form wth us.

Farewell to perhaps the biggest transfer letdown in London Broncos history since Spud Carroll.

He'll feel at home playing in a first class stadium watched by a man and his dog.

Wonder how he'll enjoy actually having to work for his living.

Personally I thought he had gone a bit better of late and at least he was getting on the field.

There are a couple of pension parasites I would have preferred to see go first (clue: their surnames begin with R)

Powell and Rea deserve some share of the blame, as with all the overseas players. But the bottom line is this - he didn't perform for us. He was presumably on six figures, and yet apart from a big hit here and there he was pretty anonymous. For a marquee signing, that simply isn't good enough.

The performance of him in particular and some other of our Aussie players make me fear for our club if we get the dispensation we are seeking for overseas players and we end up wih more of the same. We dont have enough local lads who are up to a high standard to keep us from relegation so unless Rea has got some players who will give 100% and contain some quality as well i fear the worst even if e are saved this season.

Sod's law.

Yes he had one or two good games, but for the money he was on that is simply not good enough, be interesting how he goes with the Giants, he will not get away with going missing under Paul Anderson.

Did anyone see Sky last night and what Tony Rea had to say?

No.... what did Rea have to say?

Not in the least bothered about him going, though I concede he has a chance of playing well when he's playing in a winning team with a competitive environment (though iirc, he did bugga all for Newcastle).

Crabtree has nothing to worry about comparing their stats...Crabtree makes twice the carries and metres of Fusi, 3 times as many tackle busts and 50% more tackles (a lot easier I know when you've got a good team around you).

Would be more concerned if we were losing Krasniqi or Dollapi.

Oh..saw Tony Rea on telly...it was a discussion about sport in general...nothing to do with Broncos (although it was mentioned a few times that Tony is the coach of LB...note present tense!).

I thought TR was ok on the show, but couldn`t help but smile at the main topic of conversation `The obsession of winning in sport`…….oh the irony of TR having to wax lyrical on this given our state of affairs.

True



Hey, no comment from you Sticksy, re the departure of your favourite player?

I wonder if they've made his bike redundant?

Yes lads like Dolapi being local will tend to give 100%. When he's developed fully he will be good for us. Olsi also gives 100% and worth keeping.

I posted my comments on the Huddersfield site.......what`s the betting that they get oh so much more out of him and he has a barn storming season.

Somewhere in Twickenham there is an empty exercise bike with the pedals still going round......and no doubt a lot faster than when he was on it!!!

He played well at the end of the season so he would look good for a move to another club. Should be interesting to see what happens to him under Paul Anderson I bet you he wont get away with roaming around the pitch for 10 minutes each half znd his fitness level will be much better.

I must admit that I see the Giants as being very clever in acquisition.

They cover the home grown ruling by having developed a full suite of powerful, athletic and fast black fellas and a few youngsters who are rarely used.

On the federation trained rulings they just raid the assets from the bottom six and especially their Yorkshire neighbours of Cas, Wakey and Bradford.

They tend to sign older NRL forwards who are in their prime and who might not get a new NRL deal not because of performance but because the clubs want to secure their better younger players on longer deals.

With their new status as league leaders they may become attractive to others however.

I think they will get great value from Chris Bailey who I believe was Powell's best signing.

As for AK, he is the kind of forward who is capable of making 150 metres a game, or just 50 metres.

I suspect he will do enough to get a place in the side and I will miss him.

Incredibly unfit for a Super League professional.

Im not sure I've seen any player contribute so little over 80 mins

He put in a few eye watering big hits but very little else.

If Fusi can get a top level job after his attitude for the last 2 years there is hope for all of us. I wish Hudds well with him. Just underlines how much a culture change is needed with the new set-up.
