Off Season Recruitment - By The Month : Wed Feb 01, 2023 11:54 pm  
September
What do we already know? The following are half-way through 2 year deals:
- Will Lovell
- Rian Horsman
- Lewis Bienek
- Iliess Macani
- Dean Parata
- Oli Leyland
12th – Mike Eccles revealed after full-time that several key players from this year’s squad have committed to the Broncos badge next season and he expects to make some announcements imminently.
14th – Wellington Albert re-signs
16th – Paul Ulberg re-signs
17th – Alex Walker re-signs
20th – Dalton Grant re-signs
22nd – Sam Davis signs permanently (loan last season)
23rd – Jordan Williams re-signs
Month Summary
A very good start. 12 players all signed up who are worth their place in the squad.

October
6th – Jarred Bassett signs
14th – Marcus Stock signs
14th – Ronny Palumbo re-signs
21st – Jensen Monk graduates from Academy
21st – Euan Parke graduates from Academy
21st – Dan Hoyes graduates from Academy
Month Summary
So, so. Missing a couple of stellar signings which in combination with the six signings this month would have given the month a high grading.

November
1st – Pre-Season starts. The autumn break has been anything but quiet for Eccles, with 12 deals confirmed since the Broncos hosted Barrow Raiders on the final day of the 2022 season. “We’re close to striking deals with several players currently playing in the World Cup,” said Eccles. “We’re hopeful we’ll be in a position to have those names announced in December.”
19th - Henry Raiwalui signs
28th - Ethan Natoli signs
Month Summary
Two additions slightly ahead of schedule. So a positive for international recruitment, not great domestically.

December
Month Summary
Absolutely nothing and time to worry

January
10th - Eccles expressed the importance of recruiting the correct calibre of player, adding that he will not be rushed into signing players simply to make up the numbers. Conversations are being held daily and he hopes to confirm some new recruits later this month. “We’re having conversations every day,” said Eccles. “We did miss out on a few names, but we’re making progress on bringing in some more bodies.
16th – Squad Numbers Announced. So now we also know the following are retained:
- Bill Leyland
- Max Allen
- Jack Howorth
17th - Ronny Palumbo departs
Month Summary
It gets worse, our recruitment on the month is minus 1 (we just weren’t told before about Leyland, Allen and Howorth). It’s not going well.

February
1st - Emmanuel Waine signs
3rd - Ramon Silva joins on a one month loan
9th - Harvie Hill joins on a one month loan
9th - Zach Eckersley joins on a one month loan
Day Summary
One day in and a good day for recruitment with a player that looks a fit rather than a body filling exercise. Backs up Eccles comments in January.
Month Summary
The Wigan loans have helped out. Silva has stood out. Waine signed on the 1st day of the month but sightings of him have been as elusive as of Raiwalui during this month. It was a short month mind!


March
3rd - Abbas Miski joins on a dual registration
16th - Jacob Jones joins on a five week loan

Re: Off Season Recruitment - By The Month : Thu Feb 02, 2023 4:41 pm  
The memory cheats but in our last season as a full time team we announced squad numbers on New Years Eve, over the course of a couple of hours and announced a number of new signings. Those days have gone.
This season we appear to have recruited decent quality but not in volume. The amount that have gone through the exit door though is a huge number which pretty much tells you how successful the brave new dawn was. This year we really do need to make progress. Let’s see how it goes. I’m confident we won’t have to put up with the nonsense we saw against Widnes and Haven last year but you never know.

The starting 17 look ok but if we don't play the loan system well when injuries strike, I fear we may still have a few grim weeks again this season.

Or Buck and Dusty as they are likely to be known as on Sunday.

Added short term loans Harvie Hill and Zach Eckersley.

As far as we know every player is in the final year of their two-year contract, on a one-year contract or on a short term loan. Maybe the new Academy graduates get longer contracts but I assume not.

So technically come the end of the season, every player will be out of contract.

And Hughes will as usual leave it far too late......unless he has investors lined up, but needs IMG to assure them of SL status and no relegation.....which won't sit well with our northern cousins.
