| So Sam Whinney signs up. Are we signing a player every 50 Memberships we sell? Good luck to the lad but age 20 to sign first pro contract? Hope he's a late blossomer.

| I may be wrong, but it looks like players are signing 1 year contracts which you might say is reasonable given the doubt about Broncos' future. While I can see why we wouldn't want to saddle the club with the expense of 2/3 year contracts, what is wrong with following Football's example & adding a 1 year club held option? We should know before the end of next season if we are going again in 2026. Otherwise any standout performers will head north.

I'm just glad we have added another player - as we edge closer and closer to being able to announce a starting 13

And Ben Hursey-Hord so that makes 7. Not getting a sense Toulouse and Bradford will be looking over their shoulder too hard but we do appear to be inching towards the starting line.

It is what it is. From what we know about our finances the likely hood is the 7 are being paid out of the 10k crowd funder, circa 300 STs and 50 odd shirt sales and a few quid from the lottery In the circumstances it’s good if not thrilling news. Gawd knows how we’re paying for PL plus training facilities. Maybe we held a bit back from central funding this year?

Do NOT buy any replica kit!
It may come down to: anyone in the ground with the current shirt is in the 17.

Crikey! I have a shirt on order. Better ask Santa for a pair of boots this Christmas.

Might be better asking for a life jacket in case we sink without trace!

That's how Frank Napoli got the gig.

| As an observer and irregular matchgoer of Broncos games, the latest flurry (well, by Broncos standards it is a flurry) of signings indicates that 2025 is achievable, somehow.

Someone always wants to lower the tone of the conversation by mentioning Francis Napoli.

Jamie O Callaghan too. By the way, is he still around? Just asking.

| Very Irish sounding (Connor o Bierne) Aussie back signed from Elite 1. Most of our flair players gone so good to have him signed up. We’ll need a bit of pace so hopefully Boafo retained and then a bit of creative recruitment.

Happy to be corrected but I thought Boafo was on a 2 year deal- or I thought that it had been said on here.
