This is my poor french translation:

"Half French international Avignon (eg Catalans Dragons club for which he played 25 games in 2010 and 2011, and Cronulla Sharks in 2013), Tony Gigot, 23, and Samoan international prop Cronulla, Mark Taufua , 32, 88 NRL games under the colors of Newcastle and Sharks between 2007 and 2013, will be developed with the London Broncos, who are still looking to expand their squad for the whole hour inexperienced contacts."

Hope the Taufua news is true

The trail of post also has one saying "Tely Pelo trial in London"

Demi in this case means either scrum half or stand off (demi de melee or demi d'ouvre). Otherwise a fair stab at translating.

Which was?

Does it matter why he left guys........let`s just wish him all the best and hope he can do a decent job for us........allez le Broncos!!

OK, I think we have a starting team and some options now:

1 Nesiasi Mataitonga - FB
2 Kieran Dixon – WG Saeed Agboke, James Duckworth
3 Will Lovell – CE Thomas Minns, Mason Caton-Brown
4 Jordan Atkins – CE Illiess Macani, Joel Wicks, Sean Morris
5 Denny Solomona – WG Harvey Burnett
6 Tony Gigot – SO James Woodburn-Hall
7 Mike Bishay – SH
8 George Griffin – PR Olsi Krasniki, James Greenwood
9 Scott Moore – HK James Cunningham
10 Nick Slyney – PR Erjon Dollapi
11 Mike McMeeken – SR Toby Everett
12 Matt Cook (c) - SR
13 Alex Foster – LF Jonathan Wallace

Don't think we can judge how well they can play together until week 4-8. Can only try and cheer them on, they have a steep learning curve!

Wow rest of SL must be wondering how they missed out signing any of the above.

you and I are going to look very silly if the Broncos start winning in front of 5,000 fans and Vodafone enquire about naming rights in a new 5 year deal starting in 2015 at 7 figures a year........but I suspect you'd get better odds on a unicorn winning this years Grand National

Who thought Dennis "Moron" was going to turn out to be a legend? We've a team, most from London, so at least there's hope.
