Many of our players will be putting themselves in the shop window for SL contracts. Lets face it they won't have that opportunity with the Broncos. I don't see why this is reason to have silly digs at other clubs.

Indeed they are in the shop window and no issue with that. Nor with having a joke at the expense of clubs, who to some are so superior, but need the lower clubs players to help them progress.

It's just an opinion like yours, I feel for the many young local players at top Super League clubs whose opportunities are weakened when the clubs feel they need to look to London to take the Best of the Youth, that is just fact, some will say if local lads are good enough they will make it? well from experience in working in the youth game in the North, that does not always work.

All played Super League for us in 2014 and all come through our junior ranks at some point.

Then you have the following players who also came through our ranks and are now at other clubs:

Scott Moore
Matty Ashurst
Andrew Dixon
Lee Gaskell
Jamie Foster
Jamie Ellis
Paul Clough

You're right, we don't produce our own youngsters!! icon_eek.gif

You are obviously spitting your dummy out because you are likely to be relegated and will probably lose some or all of your better players. Your repetitive use of the word "vultures" is ridiculous. It's natural that certain members of your squad will want to remain in Super League and therefore find deals elsewhere. Or do you expect them so stay where they are playing part-time for London?

Also, you say you admire Leigh for saying no but then slag off Saints for being a "vulture." Surely if your club followed the example set by Leigh and said no then there'd be nothing for the "vultures" to pick at? Therefore the only blame should lie at the door of London Broncos, nobody else.

Hello you of the long neck. I think you'll find that jaybs (who incidentally is from St Helens and is also still living there or thereabouts) speaks only for himself.

That's fair enough, I wasn't intending on tarring you all with that same brush mate.

And yes I realise he is from St.Helens. He often pops onto our board, slags off northern folk in general, calls us all common peasants and then disappears again for a few days. a026.gif

Super League as a competition finds it much harder to attract top quality players from the NRL and there are some types of players that are seldom produced and thus highly desirable/marketable.

Vea is a talented ball handling forward with a kind of Solomona/Lauititi style rather than the standard workhorse running hard and defending solidly you typically find in the second row. He will suit a team with an offload style with support runners and will be a loss if and when he goes; he is a rare breed of player. As always when you step up you need to be better than the men already in the team to play; this is something he needs to bear in mind as a regular fringe player for many seasons prior to joining us.

Whilst some of the other London juniors would undoubtedly be great signings for the paltry fees the RFL stipulates for juniors, they will risk being an irregular selection like Caro, Channing and before them Sharp and Worrincy were. The Northern clubs will be less forgiving to those still learning the game. Dixon could just as easily be the new Kevin Penny at a big club with most clubs having three decent wingers. Caton-Brown is probably the name on most opposition supporter's lips, however he has only played the game since around the age of 15 just as Caro has and it will do him no harm to play first team football for a couple of years.

The London Juniors are mainly on two year contracts, aside from Dixon, so we wll get a development fee at minimum and we should be after a fair deal. What upsets me is when a richer club signs the player for peanuts or nothing; you only get about £5000 per year for the years spent in your system.

I imagine it's in response to your questionable spelling and grammar.

And it was genuinely an honest question.
