I looked at that squad again- we’ve got Ball, Ball , Hall and…….. Small!

Are we only signing players whose surnames rhyme ?

Nope we’re only signing Skolars players that rhyme. Massive get out of jail card that Latu doesn’t rhyme with much.

Thinking about it further I think the key is they all have short surnames. Remember at a pound a letter that £10k will only go so far for printing names on shirts and we have a couple of guys with long double barrelled names that have blown the budget.

An upbeat and measured update from Eccles on the Broncos You Tube channel which confirms something is happening with the club, that someone with some pedigree is being announced as signing on Monday and that they are actively looking players which for a time they weren’t. Looks like he will want to use the Cup match to look at some of the trialists so if those announced for the Crusaders game are trialists rather than open trialists this will be an opportunity to see how they would go against decent L1 opposition.

I think the club could have been finished without Mike Eccles. The club are lucky to have him as I suspect he could have easily moved on. A very positive but realistic update on where we are.
