GLad to here it, the point is we all know our budgets at beginning of season and with warrington having a extra 1 million sky money, but each club work within that cap. and are you also saying with the likes of London say if they had a squad of 30 and the very unfortunate happened and 16 of them were out for season they (London club) would not then go out looking to find replacements to strengthen squad.. it happens all the time unfortunately. and warrington have gone out with leigh to bolster squads for middle 8s scared to be relegated even though Warrington should breeze the 8s

Rebel, I agree and have no issues with it. What it shows is that you need a strategy to either survive (SL teams) or make a fist of getting up (Champ sides). There is no doubt that Leigh changed there approach the year they went up from the previous year. They spent big on an ageing but experienced pack.

We have reached the point in the season where teams are now preparing for the 8's. I get a feeling the Broncos will get bullied up front(Like Fev did to us) in the 8's if we don't improve the pack.

Were in same boat with forwards were tough but small if we get a few back maybe will improve, but outside backs are doing great and if you get a chance to see Justin Carney first try for us was worth waiting for his suspension to end I hope we both do well being the best 2 sides I would settle for a draw at weekend

Personally I cannot see the problem with it, the comp is the comp every club knows knows the structure and we all know that if you are in that mix at the end of the season you have the choice of sticking with yr squad or bringing folk in.
as long as it's within the salary cap so what

19 the same as last week except for Ben Pointer in for Mark Ioane. Interesting to see if William Barthau will get into the final 17 given his injury last weekend. As an aside does anyone know why Harrison didn't play in the Fev game? https://londonbroncosrl.com/news/hender ... ble-clash/

Given that Pointer is in the squad it makes me think Barthau won't make it.

He returned from his 2 match ban the week before and was named in the 19 last week.
