I am really upset about losing this great man who is the heart and soul of London Rugby League.He has been badly let down.
In the backs he has pretty much a full suite of reserve/academy players with his first choice fullback and wingers (Mataitonga, Dixon and Duckworth) never available.
At half back in the main he has again untested kids.
In the forwards he has a reasonable set of backrowers but the smallest and youngest front row in the competition.
That is down to David Hughes and Gus Mackay and the full year of faffing around.
If you look at the players who first played Super League at the Broncos or left in recent years we could have had a team like:
Dorn, Dixon, Sarginson, Sykes, Caro, Soward, T.Leuluai, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, T.Lee, Clubb, Bailey, Vea, Cook
But in 2009 and 2013 Hughes wobbled.
We should be able to give Tony a send off this weekend.
