Ma'am I Would be a pointless signing.

Nickname sorted there I think.

Yeah they'll count on the non fed list, but we're allowed 7 non fed players and if we release Lauaki and Uaisele we'll have plenty of space.

True but the I'd rather they weren't wasted like we already have done the past few seasons.

Keep one or two free for next year's Jamie Soward!!

Well playing guess who on the London Broncos first team squad page on their website I've narrowed it down to Iliess Macani and Jon Magrin. Or Wes Naiqama but he'd be 34.

I just can't get enthusiastic about the possibility of Macani, just too erratic or plain not very good.

Well that game of guess who ended quickly, you guessed correctly straight away. I was hoping you was gonna ask if they had a beard or wore glasses

But seriously yes I agree with you, it doesn't really suggest exciting signings

Re: Recruitment & Retention Latest : Sat Jul 09, 2016 3:13 pm  

Magrin looks a prospect though.

How many Broncos are we after? Getting a bit daft now!

Keyes and Magrin will both be known to Rohan from his time spent there a few years ago. Both 21 so won't be demanding huge wages and still young enough to improve.
Who is the winger then? Macani, or Naiqama?

Smith was at London in 2004 I think when he was talking about Sykes, reading an interview Keyes met or came across Smith while he was on a trip in Aus I believe.

The problem with Slyney, Verlinden or Achurch is they're overseas quota fodder IMO.

The problem with Verlinden is that he is cr@p

Makes one big run or hit in a match but otherwise does sod all. There is a reason Fev gave up on him and shipped him out to Donny on loan mid season before he went to Worky.

You'd be better off keeping Walker or Crossley, both offer more than Verlinden.

Macani

The Crossley to Toronto thing makes no sense. Wasn't he saying a few weeks ago that he'd love to stay at Bradford? He's certainly good enough for a new deal.

Purtell is signed up for next year too, unless I've missed something, although in all the time we've been crap the last few weeks I haven't read or heard anyone saying we're missing Purtell.

We've missed some leadership on the field that he would of provided and he is definitely a better option than Blythe at centre. Though Blythe had a decent game against Leigh to be fair.
