Not so sure on Purtell, I always thought he was past it before he left us. Don't think he played all that much too last season due to injury.

Pitts though was an awful loss for us. Think I saw that he won an award for the Broncos too. Not sure if it was player of the year, forward of the year, players' players etc. but he won something.

We have lads coming through that will be at least as good as Pitts but we have missed his workrate even if he lacked a bit in size.

I think we've had some awful ones from Broncos, but also some not bad ones.

Think Jon Magrin went well last year for us and Joe Keyes I'm sure is one who will really look to establish himself this year too.

This season we have also got Matty Garside who on paper looks a great signing for us.

It's also worth pointing out we didn't send them Pitts

Hmm
Rikki Sherrife
Paul Sykes
Just throwing another couple out there. Make ur own judgements

Paul Sykes you could probably argue we shafted each other on. Still remember to this day him being on loan from Bradford to London and him playing against us (think it was at Valley Parade). Threw one of his god awful centre passes to absolutely nobody that he did a lot later in this career for us, and everyone was convinced he was throwing the game because he technically belonged to the Bulls. He wasn't throwing it, he just couldn't pass straight.

You are right about Pitts. Broncos have just made him club captain.
Without doubt you have taken some poor players from London.

Haha let's not get drawn into a debate over semantics!

Ah! That explains it you were his Coach at the time!

I remember he left me and Dilligaff speechless with his defence against Saints at Knowsley Rd!
