Wonder if he fancies being CEO in his spare time?

That puts us above Whitehaven, although we are only there on points difference and have played one more game.
The thing is Haven have I believe Featherstone and Leigh as their next games, so our 11th place is pretty secure for now.
Havens next possible win is against Workington at Summer Bash, so we need to beat Sheffield there. Done it before, so we can do it again!

Victor I think I’m right in saying you and I were some of the few on this forum who attended the Haven game at Plough Lane earlier in the season. I thought they were both much better than us and dreadful. I take no solace from the fact that we’ll end up above them but I’ll take it. An upward trajectory is better than what we were served up back then.

Where we have spent far too much time, in the manure.

Glad to have been right about the outcome (if not the margin). It would seem that we have dug ourselves out of the crap we were in, purely by accident, as the Owner didn't have a replacement in mind when he fired his selected coach, but yet again, we seem to have found ourselves with a more than capable coach at the helm.
I would suggest that Hughes and Loubser make it a priority to secure this guy's services now rather than wait until it is too late to sign players for next year.
Our current form would see us around 7th spot, with us being capable of challenging all those sides currently 7th-14th and whilst the nucleus of the squad will be with us next year, we do need 4 or 5 "star" bodies to get us into a top quarter spot in 2023.

We were the better team tonight and deserved that victory. Broncos played a much more open game whilst Bradford were happy to keep making one man drives. Credit to Davis, Leyland, Siti and Parata for making Bradford chase shadows. The Bulls 2 tries came from consecutive penalties and their 2nd looked to have come from a forward pass but hey ho.

It never really felt like we were gonna lose this, Eccles is doing a marvellous job and the boys looked much fitter and keener than our opponents. 3 wins from our last 5 (and 2 from the last 3 away) is a million miles away from the gloom at the start of the season with no wins from our first 10 games (inc the Cup). Get Eccles signed up now !

The team is enjoying our rugby again and it shows

Good to see Sid and James Meadows supporting the boys as well.

If this article is to be believed, it doesn't sound like Hughes has told him no matter what, he has a fitness role to fall back on if he wants it. That could be the next shambolic Broncos decision, to lose Mike.
