Quote: The Curtism "Listening to the media put out by the club this year, this season was about being better than last season. From what some of the re-signed players have said, there is a long term vision, it's just not being shared with the supporters yet.'"


We are definitely better than last year. We now have a good competitive Part time championship side capable of challenging most teams in the league. Off field there have been some improvements - the move to a better sized stand with access to pub and food vans makes more sense but as for growing the club or embedding ourselves in Wimbledon I’m not sure at all. As you point out whilst our day to day comms. Is much improved there has been nothing has been passed on by the club’s hierarchy as to what we are up to.

Don't regret the rules I broke, when I die... [b:2ocyo9vn]BURY ME IN SMOKE[/b:2ocyo9vn]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30950.jpg



Quote: BigTime "I agree with all that and your player assessment. Who knows who will want to move on of the Uk based players. I doubt many of us would have envisaged Batley being a bigger draw than London so we shouldn’t rule it out but it seems to me not worth the effort for, say Beinik, to move to a team like Bradford who appear marginally better than us but if a SL club weighed in that might be different. Trinity are the X factor here. They will be in the market for players and may take a punt. I wonder if Horsman might move on/ be moved on. As for the Academy prospects some haven’t figured at all eg Howarth so it will be interesting to see what we do. One assumes we should give them time to mature but game time is needed and whilst we have flirted with the bottom of the table that has been too big a risk at times.

I think we have a fair chance of retaining the Antipodeans we want although, as before, I assume we are a ‘summer job’ for Whare and Norman. The one I’m not sure about is Parata. I think his other job is property renovation/ development. I suspect it is North based where prices to buy fixer uppers are more manageable. If so an offer from Bradford, Widnes might be of interest to him.'"


Beinik can earn more money doing his job and playing part-time for Broncos than playing in Superleague. These are considerations at this level.

Walker most likely the same.
Both players are probably at the point where they're looking at their future once they stop playing.
Present situation allows them to keep playing and develop careers outside of rugby league.

That's an often overlooked point. Unfortunately the Southern playing pool is too small for it to seriously assist Broncos as it stands.

Years ago the then non league Crawley Town FC had a city worker play for them. His full time job had a contractual minimum bonus of £250k p.a. Strangely enough he regularly turned down one year contracts at 30k or so from lower level Football League sides.

If the London(ish) RL player pool ever develops to serious numbers there would almost certainly be a few good players not wanting to play full time.

Would be interesting to know if less or more Championship level (or better) players are being developed in the London area than in the past. My gut feeling is less but don't have any data to support that.

The decline in junior sides and loss of stepping stone sides such as Oxford and (professional) Hemel makes a decline almost inevitable. The development sides results this season suggest the club is seeing an impact from the general RL situation down south.
