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.

Is it at the end of this season when we learn the IMG rankings, is this Hughes way of saying, if IMG dont give me what I want, there will be no club next year, as no players

IIRC this was the approach we took in 2021. We vastly underachieved and lost significantly more than we should replacing them with L1 product with the inevitable outcome. My guts tell ,e it wasn’t a great tactic....but who knows.
Glad we have the two Wigan boys in, bit concerning we are in short term loan territory from week one. Mid season after a few knocks is really when that approach should kick in but makes us more competitive. Big game against Haven this is...already.

Loose against haven and alarm.bells will be going off......or should be.
If IMG to lift the broncos back into SL then that's it for me.....as a sport, a strong capital presence is needed, but to reward Hughes for the utter farce he has turned the club into wouldn't sit well with me....I'd rather they started from scratch with an argyle type shyster rather then allow Hughes to just fccck it up again

If IMG want to put London in SL that's fine but it has to be without Hughes involvement.

Updated with the dual registration of Abbas Miski.

Re: Off Season Recruitment - By The Month : Fri Mar 03, 2023 10:27 pm  

Do we have a DR arrangement with Wigan, or is Miski just a one off?

I suppose this is one way Lennegan can support RL in London.

Duel-reg with Wigan is now official according to the Warriors site—nothing from the Broncos side. https://wiganwarriors.com/blog/2023/03/ ... n-broncos/

He’s doing more to support RL in London than the Broncos chairman, that’s for sure
