He’s crocked and Lovell was in a boot so I think this is creative advertising by Broncos. If they win after all the negative energy of this week they can be very pleased with their effort.

Sammut commentating on the Wigan game for radio Manchester so a fair bet he’s not playing either.

So is this soon to be ex coach Tom's idea of trying to confuse York? Surprised he didn't include Hughes & the menagerie at that rate.

I think it may be that if in some way during the week you take part in training you are part of the 21 squad or to put it another way Aston and Krasniqi must be in a right 2 and 8.

I went past the training ground on the bus this week. Lucky I'm not in the 21.

You’d be in with a shout next season. My advice change your bus route!

Not sure that means much, Wigan is not the other side of the world lol, he was definitely Not in Wigan this afternoon!

My gut feeling is full time players have to train on a Friday and nominally on a Saturday so feels like a tight turn around but I’ll bite where was he? Was he in Leigh along with every other player not signed up for 2022 forming a queue outside DB decking?

Not sure any team would train all day Friday.p? most sides train morning's, Wigan is not the other side of the World!

Leigh? what gives you that idea, players queuing up to join them?

So he trains till 2 flies up to Manchester for 7 does his thing then comes back down tonLondon for captains run on Saturday morning. Yes I suppose it’s feasible.. but the most likely explanation is he ain’t playing. As for signing for Leigh.. it seems to me Leigh, not withstanding the way they treat players when things go wrong and that the sun deck business is surely not the most lucrative business in the Uk do seem to have an inexhaustible supply of funds for Championsip players and sign pretty much everyone spare but I. Might be wrong.

So with a few hours to go let’s turn to the matter in hand. Do we think we’re going to win this match and hit the minimum standard? My feeling is with all that happened and with a thin squad/ pretty heavy injury list we aren’t I m very much afraid to say. York were poor when the played us and have disappointed all year but, sadly, They seem though to be winning more frequently in recent weeks and I think they’ll do it again today. I really hope we give it a go and really hope we don’t concede from kick off. What do others think?

For us, I think it always depends on who plays. If as you have suggested there is 3 of that 21 deffo not likely to start then I would be surprised (but delighted) if we won. Question is, are the club that concerned given that qualifying for the playoffs means spending more money on probably a meaningless game given we cannot win the playoffs?

Watching Newcastle against Toulouse yesterday, most teams would save a lot of money and throw in the towel, for some reason RFL have been intent on two French teams in Super League, I await both of them appearing at Wembley or Old Trafford. Toulouse have been given every assistance possible this season, they are going to really have a Big Off Day to lose now! sad the attendance, perhaps fans were told it would be a walkover. save your money.

I think you are right jaybs, the RFL have wanted 2 French teams in SL (not sure SL clubs do though) & it makes sense in terms of driving the game over there. However, that seems at odds with how little they do to support a club in London. A strong competitive Broncos or another entity in London would do so much for the credibility of the game but they just don't get it. Sad really.

Playing so few games could have made them rusty but, in fact, it has left them rested and way too good. Very little interest for the fans of other teams in seeing TO turn them over. I’ll be delighted to see the back of them for a year. Having said that, as it stands, there could be quite a few teams next year who hand us punishment beatings.... assuming we don’t sign anyone ...like everyone else is doing.
