Roger also hinted about us signing a winger and prop from London. Not sure why we'd need another winger unless Williams is off. We could always try Clare as a centre and then our wingers could be Caro/Ryan/London winger.
Not sure who the London prop could be. Slyney?
If we need some more forwards I would certainly be after Verlinden from Workington. He is a real handful and every time I've seen him play he has caused the opposition all sorts of problems. Would certainly benefit from going full time, a bit like Mitch Clark.
As for second rowers, we could try and sign Philbin or maybe even make a play for Mitch Achurch if he's willing to swallow his pride, take a pay cut and drop down a division.'"
It looks like Tom may be off to Widnes next season. He has never really hit the heights he achieved two years ago, in either of the past two seasons.

I heard a whisper the winger was Macani, but I would be surprised if true as he doesn't look good enough for a team with SL aspirations. Rhys Williams, Elliot Kear or Wes Naiqama (who's been playing on the wing) are the only ones I'd take from London who would qualify as a good winger.
Tom Armstrong was in one of the league papers this week as likely to sign for a Super League team, although I forget which one now, so looks like us signing him isn't accurate. (Edit: Probably Widnes, judging by Alan's post!)

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

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.

| Macani Would be a pointless signing. Play a couple of games then sent out to Dewsbury on loan. Caro Clare and Ryan are all better.

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 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

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 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.
