Scorelines at Skolars home games this year have been;

18-35, 14-34, 34-38, 12-14, 46-30, 16-16, 14-24, 10-62, 24-44.

So two defeats by twenty and one hammering for Skolars this year at home. Skolars have been more than competitive this year and it’s actually been very enjoyable to see so many close games, though a little frustrating to see Skolars throw some games away.

If you wanted to support a winning team, can I ask how many people would select London Broncos? For the most part, the last decade, probably longer, has seen Broncos lose more than they’ve won.

I’d travel up to saints !!:)

Jermaine Coleman set to be the next Broncos coach. Thoughts anyone?

Not sure he's what we need, but probably what we can afford. Not sure how Danny going early so new coach can settle in works unless Tom gets the gig.

I cannot see Tom getting the job.

Me neither so another baffling Hughes decision re Danny.

Prob sums up the ambition of the club. Looking forward to the unveiling of our new signings, from Skolars

Ward was leaving at the end of the year anyway, so Hughes saying "go now' is just another heart over mind brain fart from doddery Dave. As for Jermain Coleman. He's got a RL pedigree, plays the game and coaches a side already and has is the skipper of Jamaica. Given the RLWC is happening next year, this wouldn't be the worst Public Relations exercise. I'd like to see Tony Rea come back as some for of advisor. He had a real knack for finding gems in Australia and I think we're going to need at least 3 or 4 NSW/QLND cup players if we are to survive next year.
I am struggling to find any positives from ths whole farce, but if we have a plan, I really think the club need to let the fans know sooner rather than later. York and then maybe a play off game before 5 months of nothing....what few fans they have left may well drift away and they need a core of support, because all the noise from Wimbledon is exactly what we heard at Charlton, Twickenham, Charlton, Brentford, Twickenham, Barney and Ealing.......there has to be a bigger picture plan.....the best bet is reactivating lapsed fans. Wimbledon fans aren't going to magically become RL fans and if that's the basis of this move then we really are dead men walking...

Given what's happened at the Broncos over the last several years I can only assume that Hughes' wealth was acquired on the back of luck rather than competence?

He's a "Broker".......buys oil when it's cheap sells it on for a profit It's a pretty niche market and pretty lucrative. Over his career he will have built up a network of connections, so his "still working" at 75yrs of age won't be too taxing. He funds the cub through his current income, not his nest egg.
He is on record in a book called a Pastel Revolution saying he knows little about marketing or running a business,,,,,,I think the real issue is he knows little about how to recruit people who are qualified to do these jobs for him.
He currently has a CEO who was the club accountant and a kit aggregator running the fiscal side of things.....

He’s certainly invested a lot of effort in the pre match diversity stance which bodes well for his organisational skills but I’d stick with TT he was well thought of at Coventry and he has been thrust into a difficult situation underprepared.
