As someone who also watches Broncos I'm pleased to hear this. Sean has earned the chance of a crack at the full time game. Obviously in the short run it's rough for ORL on the pitch but, taking a long term view, proving the club can be a realistic stepping stone into full time RL should be good news.

Good luck Sean, go and prove Tony Rea wrong......

Latest update

In
Jonathon (Jonny) Payne - a prop most recently with Heworth. Was previously with Wakefield and Castleford as a youth, then on loan at Gateshead

Out?
Here's a recent interview with Callum Mulkeen where he says he hopes to be playing in Australia next yearhttps://www.burytimes.co.uk/sport/11645603.Callum_Mulkeen__proud__to_make_international_bow_for_Ireland/rl
University of Gloucestershire All Golds said that they had three signings lined up and have so far announced one. I suspect one of the other two will be a name we recognise.

Ex-players news
Brett Robinson released by Oldham
Tala Petelo may have signed with South Wales Scorpions (he was one of six on trial and they later said they had signed all six trialists)

Other news of interest
The January 2015 Rugby League World includes half a page talking about how Oxford look for new players.
Heworth are advertising for a new coach (after Oxford took the previous one and his assistant).
Lengthy article from last week in the York Press about Oxford's new arrivals herehttps://www.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/11660726.Knights_coach_welcomes_former_Heworth_boss_to_professional_ranks/rl

Two confirmed In's from this weeks League Express -
Northampton Deamons Duo Kyle Danns (Prop) and Luke Gardiner (FB/Wing)

The newly revamped club website shows a 29-man squad, and there are quite a few other additions. It's not just a mock-up web-page because there are profile pictures of most of the new names wearing Oxford kit.

Ashley Brown (centre, Oxford Cavaliers)
Aaron Jones-Bishop
Harry Kaufman
Nathan Kitson (hooker, Bradford Dudley Hill, also played in the English Lions tour to South Africa earlier this month)
Simon Price (second row, Gloucestershire Warriors)
Chris Palser-Thorne
Douglas Randall
Andy Speake
Kashley Watkins

Ashley Browne certainly stood out at the trial (before the kick-off as well as during the action). Kashley Watkins is the older brother of Kallum, whilst Ben Jones-Bishop has a league-playing brother called Aaron so I imagine that's him.


The squad list also implies some departures but I'll leave that for club announcements.

Tommy Connick played in the Capital Challenge today for London Skolars - not sure if he has signed for them or it was a one-off.

Also Mike Benson started the game and Dave Ellison was on the bench. No sign of Michael Crabtree.

Hope I'm wrong but I fear Tommy has gone. I'm sure he's have been one of the first names we tried to re-sign. The lack of an announcement spoke volumes even before this news. Good luck to him, a good player. Likewise Dave Ellison, sadly with the club cutting cloth financially his injury record last season would have counted against him. Hope he has an injury free season wherever he plays. His ability to do a 60 minute shift makes a fit Dave Ellison a huge asset. Skolars look to be building a decent team for 2015.

Connick has changed his facebook picture to be that of him in a Skolars shirt...

Missed this one at the time but Gloucestershire confirmed Callum Mulkeen has signed for 2015 on 9th January. Another team who seem to be kicking on in terms of their squad.

Jordan Rice has returned north and is trialling with York City Knights.

out: Jamie Milburn to Sawtell Panther NSW Australia.

Unfortunately with little or no work prospects in the UK, Jamie accepted an offer from Sawtell to play in NSW with a job attached.The Oxford management and coaching staff have been extremely understanding and the "door"is definitely not shut if thing go belly up

never say never !! ,fingers crossed !!
