I think the Rhys lives in Harrogate, so Hull is going to be much easier for him. Shame though.

It is what it is. He’s done a good job for us all the best to him. However Broncos need to avoid the anti- recruitment vibe that we succumbed to last year. Hopefully we’ll get busy real soon.

Well if Danny hasn't got another job since leaving Cas, bring him back (assuming he & Cake are happy with their respective roles).

I was thinking about this. Eccles said that he was getting support from Jaime Langley and I've seen Danny Ward at a match.

Good to hear Cake has been getting support from Jamie Langley. I've seen Danny Ward at the Cherry Red several times but perhaps not since he took over at Cas. I wonder what his plans are. He turned down a permanent role at Cas so perhaps he is wanting to remain in the South.

I would have Jamie Langley back. I am sure he was a major part of the success under Danny Ward.

He seems to be doing well at Sale taking over as defence coach from Mike Forshaw at the start of the year.

It is reported that London Broncos are in for Brenko Lee. The Dolphins centre.
He was expected to sign for Catalan, however that fell through and he is now on our radar.

I think this makes sense. Hopefully we see the majority uptake on full-time deals. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/ex ... per-league

The Highbrid mix squad of full and part time is a risk, but good on the club for doing it. Those players that won promotion and don't want to or can't go full time deserve the chance to prove themselves. Far to easy to just buy in a squad and sack off the rest. The IMG plans will drive a lot of clubs decision making this year though

Re: Recruitment and retention for 2024 : Fri Oct 20, 2023 2:55 pm  

If it is true, that IMG are not changing any of their objective scoring criteria, then how on earth can Broncos earn enough points to finish high enough to remain in SL even if they won the comp. Something that was mooted by Steve Mascord yesterday I believe.

If I understand the grading then in theory if they get a B grading then they are in the mix. Nothing been said about different levels of B. Reckon there will be 5 or 6 A grade teams. Rest in SL B TOxiii B wakey B Rest just don't know
