| The squad may be finished but we may have half a dozen new signings unannounced. I'll wait and see before throwing myself of a cliff thanks.

Looking at who we know is signed on after this season, there HAS to be some forwards unannounced. Whether those are from the current squad whose contracts have been renewed or new signings remains to be seen. Also not taking into account any players who may be signed up for next season, but may not be here anyway.

Absolutely Bullseye. It's been standard policy for some time to, 'drip feed', the news over the the off season - can't see why this time round would be any different, tbh.
Well, any other reason apart the fact that, in the absence of the club, social media tends to do the announcing, of course - then again, I guess this only serves to ramp up the excitement whilst we wait for, 'official', confirmation!

| I personally think now would be a good time to make a positive squad announcement regarding next season. If Pryce has signed, get it announced. If one of our other decent players is staying, get it announced.
People need some good news (other than Green's statement which is something of a mixed bag) and showing that Player X has signed on for next year would also help prop up the idea that we're going to be running with a decent full time squad.

The Pryce announcement will surely be held back until the season ticket drive (officially) starts. I'd certainly get all of the departure announcements out of the way asap though.

That too. But I think something positive needs to be put out. Especially if it really is all done and dusted as Mr. Green suggests.
Yes, most of us will see some of those players leaving as positives, but it would be a welcome boost to hear another someone people actually rate WILL be here next season, rather than just those that people don't rate not being here.

I'm hoping most come from down under. Smith has got two gems in Moss & Chisholm. I don't think there will be a raft of new faces as a lot are still contracted for next year.
Not going to lie, signing yet more average Broncos players isn't filling me with joy. Macani is just another Matty Blythe. Strong, powerful, but no skill. He's not better than what we have so why sign him. That should message should be printed and put up in all the offices in the club. "Before you sign him, is he better than what we have" I don't want another average Joe being paid a wage to hardly play or if we does play, i put my head in my hands and hope we pulls something in the warm up  (Like most do with Matty Blythe, Danny Addy, Richie Mathers)
I'd rather see Ross Oakes or Josh Ricketts play before an Illiess Macani

Add Joe Keyes 2018 into that.
And I'm 99% sure Mitch Clark is leaving this season. I believe it was either misreported as a two year deal, or he has a clause to allow him to leave for Super League.
Other than that, it's the same list I have.

| Good point, forgotten about Keyes.
Clark was reported as on a 2 year deal. I guess he must have a release clause. If not then we should ask for a decent fee since he's our most impressive forward this year.
Leon Pryce not yet added despite all the rumours which I will now take with a pinch of salt.

| We basically need forwards generally, but props specifically. The creative spine of the team - AoB, Chisholm, Leon (strongly linked) and Moss I am very pleased with. This is a better position than we have been in the last 2yrs from a squad point of view.

| Hope Liam Kirk gets some game time next year. Big lad and i'm sure training with the first team full time will seem him fill out. Been a consistent performer for the U19s.
