| Hello all,
These are the rumours I heard over the weekend
1) Powell retained till end of season and under 20s coach next season
2) New fitness coach from Salford City Reds is working at the club now
3) Lease on Stoop not renewed for 2013 by London Broncos
4) Caro offered contract at St Helens for 2013
5) Gower and Bailey declined Head Coach partnership tandem role
6) Skolars, RFL and other hirers of Wood Green keen to redevelop New River
7) Broncos would need to cooperate if this is to become reality
David Waite in frame to join London Broncos alongside the Penrith/St Helens former Head Coach Royce Simmons
9) Powell has had big dust up with Dorn who will leave if Powell stays
10) Sarginson refusing to sign long term contract
I'm led to believe that the review is complete in terms of a plan of actions but that the club simply cannot find a new Head Coach for the rest of the season, hence the silence is down to embarrassment.
Easy

| Fairly depressing stuff overall.
Number 4 seems the most far fetched to me, I haven't seen anything of Caro to suggest he is good enough to play in Super League, never mind for a "top" side.
Shame number 9 isn't the other way around.

Rumours? Sound more like insider knowledge. An intriguing post which I hope unfolds in a positive way for the club.

Ditto, he's not impressed me overly, I'm yet to see this blistering pace also.
But you rate Powell higher than Dorn? I'm a Dorn fan and would certainly have him in my Broncos side currently.

No, I would like to see Powell storm off if Dorn were to remain

| Suprised number 4 isnt Dixon rather than Caro.
Of course, number 7 is what every fan wants right now so if true good news
Number 10 very dissapointing, such a great talent and has to be learning from Gower which is only positive.

I see! Well now we're in agreement twice, should I be worried?

| So how do folk feel about the Powell as U20s coach rumour? Personally i think he should move over to the RFL if and when he gets the chop and get involved in the community game not the pro level. The club need to be more ruthless and not reward mediocrity (not that his achieved that mind you!).

| #1 we all suspected he was with us for the duration
#2 I heard that DH had identified fitness as being the main reason we have ben crap this year.....silly me, I thought it was defence (or lack of it)
#3 is an interseting scenario...the club have either identified a new permanent home or have resigned themselves to a Championship berth come 2015. Looks like a move is seen as the best way to attract fans....maybe that's because it worked so well for the club in 1997, 2000, 2002 and again in 2006.
#4 if he has been, good luck to the lad.
#5 Thank god......what we don't need is another "experiment" at the helm
#6 given it's been discussed on BBC radio, it's not a rumour
#7 see point #3......given there's only 895 ST holders and that's bound to drop in 2013, it could happen
#8 Simmons will be the coach next year
#9 Dorn v Powell......explains a lot.
#10 Sarginson has every right to hold out........would you sign for the shambles as it is currently?
All in all, very depressing and indicative of the club being badly run from top to bottom.

These are the rumours I heard over the weekend
4) Caro offered contract at St Helens for 2013
The lad is a promissing player to us but I'm sure Saints will have better players coming through so I don't see this. he is way off the finished article and barely deserves a 1st team spot ATM.
3) Lease on Stoop not renewed for 2013 by London Broncos
6) Skolars, RFL and other hirers of Wood Green keen to redevelop New River
7) Broncos would need to cooperate if this is to become reality
If we are indeed not staying at the Stoop then this may have some legs. Only with the help of the RFL (ala Bradford etc.) are we ever going to get a stable home IMO. I have never been to this place but if it can be re-developed and the RFL are behind us then who knows.
9) Powell has had big dust up with Dorn who will leave if Powell stays
The way Dorn has been performing i say 'don't hand around until the end of season mate' Do us all a favour and free up a space.
10) Sarginson refusing to sign long term contract
He still has to prove he is SL standard but we live in hope. If he was playing in a winning team he would be playing better though. Maybe he wants too much for a year ATM. He isn't Tearing trees up yet and hasn't learn't to defend at SL standard so you can't expect him to be offered big money. If we wern't short of quality SL players i doubt he would be playing every game.
I'm led to believe that the review is complete in terms of a plan of actions but that the club simply cannot find a new Head Coach for the rest of the season, hence the silence is down to embarrassment.
If Simmons is coming next season I don't see why he can't start now - he is available. Seems to be a contradiction.

Can people please read this post before commenting on number 7? An absolutely ludicrous idea.

It's got the same legs that Douglas Bader had.
New River Stadium has a 1,000 seater stand and terracing on 2 of the other sides...as well as an 8 lane running track all the way around the pitch. Conservative estimates are 1 million pounds per 1,000 seats for building stands, with additional costs involved for offices and other facilities. Let's say a conservative 20 million shall we?
Planning consent for development of "non-housing" developments in London boroughs have been known to take years, especially, given that an area of land surrounding the proposed new stadium would take away other sports pitches from the community (see pic below). Licences are up for renewal in 2 years time.....
We have moved in 1997, 2000, 2002 and 2006.......none of these moves resulted in increased attendances....Skolars get about 500 at games.....has someone worked out that tottenham residents will flock to watch top flight RL?
in addition.....would the council really be prepared to just hand over the land? Does the RFL need a 10k/15k seater stadium in London? Has the club got the 5+ years minimum it would take to make this a reality? Would it be called the David Hughes Memorial Stadium?

simpsons/017.jpg Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 -
Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader.
Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward.
Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I?
Update on Quins Mogs :-
Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo.
Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas.
Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9.
Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg |
|
| Some of us already knew that Sargi had turned down a longer deal and it wouldn't surprise many of us if he left at the end of this season.
Re Dorn, I can well believe that he has had a falling out with Powell as unlike a lot of you on here, I can't understand why he's not getting in the team. If he goes, thats fine if we can replace him with a better player...that's a big if in our circumstances, imo (we won't have Robbo either).
As for the New River...forget it, it won't happen.
