Does it matter why he left guys........let`s just wish him all the best and hope he can do a decent job for us........allez le Broncos!!

Re: Tony Gigot to London Broncos : Fri Feb 07, 2014 3:54 pm  

OK, I think we have a starting team and some options now:

1 Nesiasi Mataitonga - FB
2 Kieran Dixon – WG Saeed Agboke, James Duckworth
3 Will Lovell – CE Thomas Minns, Mason Caton-Brown
4 Jordan Atkins – CE Illiess Macani, Joel Wicks, Sean Morris
5 Denny Solomona – WG Harvey Burnett
6 Tony Gigot – SO James Woodburn-Hall
7 Mike Bishay – SH
8 George Griffin – PR Olsi Krasniki, James Greenwood
9 Scott Moore – HK James Cunningham
10 Nick Slyney – PR Erjon Dollapi
11 Mike McMeeken – SR Toby Everett
12 Matt Cook (c) - SR
13 Alex Foster – LF Jonathan Wallace

Don't think we can judge how well they can play together until week 4-8. Can only try and cheer them on, they have a steep learning curve!

Wow rest of SL must be wondering how they missed out signing any of the above.

you and I are going to look very silly if the Broncos start winning in front of 5,000 fans and Vodafone enquire about naming rights in a new 5 year deal starting in 2015 at 7 figures a year........but I suspect you'd get better odds on a unicorn winning this years Grand National

Who thought Dennis "Moron" was going to turn out to be a legend? We've a team, most from London, so at least there's hope.

Steep learning curve is about right.

I genuinely felt optimistic when we started the season with signings like Gower, Robertson, Rodney, Kafusi and had SL standard players like Colbon, Cook et al to replace not-quites like Olsi and Jamie O'C. Even kidded myself that 'names' Mark Calderwood and Karl Pryce might show something like form when they were down here.

Struggling to get excited about this team though. Given Salford's on-paper improvement (teams with Adrian Morley in don't finish last), and Cas, Wakey and HKRs squads we're looking down the barrels of a solid, and probably record-breaking, last place.

After losing all the players, all the staff and moving grounds I'm even struggling to think of it as my club anymore.

How's that for pessimistic.

Been on holiday so only just seen the signings. Gigot sounds like a decent addition, a prop or 2 would be bloody lovely though
