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.

I suppose we could overcome our goal kicking frailties by trying to score less tries! Might not win many games though, but we might not anyway.

Interview with Worthington on YouTube. He seems a nice fella not that matters much. Taking of new people being brought in vaguely.

Interesting how he said he’d expected to play 30 minutes a game as prop for Whitehaven, but as they often only had 13 or 14 players available for some games, he ended up regularly playing 70 odd minutes.
Could be useful experience for us, seeing as we are looking likely to be in a similar situation- unless of course we find a wave of new players via the open trials….

he seems up for a challenge doesn't he

He does- be good if we can add a few more like him.

I'm guessing/hoping that there will be new signings announced ahead of the open day.
