Are we talking about Dixon or JOC?

Excepting Soward's whistlestop tour Dixon was the only reason to watch Broncos last season.

If he'd been fit this year we'd also have more than one win to date.

I still feel he's taking a huge gamble. If he isn't an instant success he will be out on loan to Gateshead. He would have been a star next year with us and his reputation will have continued to soar.

If Kieran Dixon had known that Richard Mathers and William Barthau were coming to London, and that Waisale Naiqama might be coming, then Kieran might have stayed.

He'll do well, he's an exceptionally gifted player. I think he should be at a bigger club thank KR, but he'll do well no doubt.

Rubbish. I have seen his feeble attempts to feign tackles, where he just runs to and bounces off the attacker. The boy cannot tackle. End of story.

I've seen Jamie Peacock's feeble attempts at stepping of his left foot, then his right foot, dropping his shoulder and then out-sprinting 3 men and going 70 metres for a try. Id still have him in my team.

I reckon they might have mentioned such things to him. Dear oh dear

I don't think Richie mathers has the pulling power to keep star players at the club hence him not getting a SL contract

That's pretty funny. Richie Mathers is coming! Wow sign me up for a 10 year contract Joey! Ha.

You could argue the toss all day long,but the bottom line is if a player from a relegated team is offered a contract for the next season from a top flight side he'll take it and be off!
Dixon has and is! And good luck to him, I wouldn't have expected anything else in this day and age.

No. But some of the fantasists who follow the club would
