2 players let go. Weren’t good enough then why now?

Lewis was swept up mid season by Hull. Having put in a few good performances and drawn plaudits from the media. I am sure the club would have been happy for him to stay.
Macani on the hand, did not fit into Hendo three year plan and was let go.

I take some of my comments back..

These are two good experienced Championship playes (I would argue better than we had last year). For the first time in a long year, I am starting to see a glimmer of hope

2 players do not make a side, but both Lewis and Iliess Macani are proven at this level, and if I am honest much better than I thought we would be able to sign.

I think the jury remains out.

Iliess has been playing semi pro at Skolars so was always likely to fancy a step up, especially with Skolars funding seemingly bring slashed. If Lewis couldn't get / didn't want a full time gig and wanted to return south, Broncos were always favourites.

Don't get me wrong, I think both are decent signings with something to offer however I'm waiting to see the full squad before I judge whether my fears about player availability as a part time outfit were justified. We wont be able to fill a squad with ex SL players signed from Skolars and ex Broncos SL players returning south

Re: Broncos Ins & Outs 2022 : Fri Oct 15, 2021 6:53 am  

I wondered if we might bring back a few ex players. I know some have signed new deals, but Everett, Thomas, Margin all crossed my mind.

As mentioned, expect a few Aussies. Maybe a couple of youngsters let go by SL sides from the academies, looking to get back on the horse.

Let's see who else gets announced but at least it is a step in the right direction.

Agreed. Two decent signings. Outnumbered by the amount of decent players leaving but sets a marker. Let’s see.
