And as if by magic, Alex Walker re-signs for next season. Nice.

So is it 1 more player today & the away shirt at 5pm?

Followed by the least surprise of them all, Lovell.

Just wingers Macani and Boafo to come and that's the "retained" list complete I'd assume? Matt Davies I guess could be another. Any chance Robbie Storey may yet return? I'd guess not due to Finances and interest from Northern Championship clubs.

Having said that, I'd expect Dan Hoyes to sign. Plenty of space to fill in the backs still. I suppose more of the Reserve team may sign such as Joe Stocks.

Another Dan Hoyes?

I recall reading he was linked with someone. Think it was Fev Rovers. I suspect he’ll take that option. He did well for us though.

Good to retain him. Still relatively young, plays pretty much every game and has experience which we’ll need.

Williams to Fev and Campagnolo back to Queensland Cup.

So the update is training starts with 11 plus 6 trialists including conference players and some from the North. Presume that means the members of 2024 squad not announced aren’t staying. Apart from the obvious worry on squad size whilst we’ve got quite a bit of beef signed up it looks like the flair is coming from those 6 trialists. That’s. A bit worrying. Anyway we’re still in the game and they’re giving it a go. So it is what it is.

Open trials announced. Seems a little worrying it's happening so late in the day to me https://www.londonbroncosrl.com/london- ... pen-trials

Sounds a bit desperate- maybe there’s another Bassett to be found at Wests?

We could certainly do with finding the likes of Martin Herdman, Colin Fenn & Steve Guyett, all of which came from nowhere. Maybe not another Gary Mason, although watching him score was amusing, carrying half the opposition team with him.

Keiren Murphy & Sumo Rees probably better known. Can't believe there aren't a few Union backs that might fancy it apart perhaps from earning more from Union. Let's hope we at least find a goal kicker. We also don't seem very good at recruiting some of the powerful black athletes out there.
