Belief is all well and good, but it will take more than that to keep us up.


We are in a 4 way battle, maybe 5 way, to avoid the 2 unwanted spots and of those 4 or 5 teams, we "would seem" to have the weakest squad and we actually do have the least experienced squad.....



IF and it is the biggest [sizeIF[/size in the history of all sports IMHO, then we will not know we are safe until September......feelers may well be put out, but that's all. As for the Money that is available, the club is currently operating in 2 separate sections. The Playing side of it is funded by SKY money and whatever DH wants to throw into the kitty.....the Business side of it has been outsourced and we get no benefit from any of the other revenue streams enjoyed by others. The New Landlord is quite clear on his attitude to "investment", so he won't be chipping in anything, so we will again be reliant on TV cash and the attitude of Mr Hughes, who it would seem can't wait to get away.....so IF and it is the biggest[size IF[/size I can find, we stay up, we will be working on a budget similar or less than 2014.

I want us to survive as much as anyone else does, but I honestly think if we do, it will cause the RFL more headaches than if we were to stick to the plan and slip down the ladder.

Questions can be asked of outside players long before September. The positive thing about what you said is that at least knowing by September will be much better than this time round when we found out in December!

Agreed, although the problem is I think we'll actually know about 2015 by the end of July

There is no doubt that we are an inexperienced side but many are highly rated by their clubs and fans. Others are unknowns. While the Wire/Wigans/Saints elite teams may be beyond us we may shock enough of the middle road teams and our fellow relegation fighters to avoid 13th & 14th position. If we had all our overseas contingent here now i'd feel much happier though

Anything above 13th will be a bonus.

Well, here's some positive thinking from Captain Cook (and even some kind words for Gus): www.standard.co.uk/sport/rugby-l ... 27656.html

Thanks for that Bronc...glad to see some positivity of sorts.

Wish you hadn't mentioned the "G" word though...it'll only stir up the nutters!

If only today was the final table can you imagine the horror at Red Hall as Wigan and Warrington were relegated.

And back in reality if we achieve 12th I'd have to be satisfied given everything the club has done to itself.

Gus lover.

Sadly, I was right.

Not booked in for your therapy yet?

You just don't get it, do you Girly?

The constant sniping directed at the CEO has been done to death, is boring in the extreme and a total turn-off (no wonder so many posters have given up posting on here).

Maybe the mods will let you have your own Gus forum? That way, the rest of us needn't waste our time reading it.

Thank f*ck the rugby starts on Sunday and will give everybody something else to moan about!

Oi Dan, I resent being called a nutter.

Oh come on PP, of course you are!

Why else would you have been wearing those outfits, all these years?

TBF, Broncos fans, in the main, are all a bit loopy...we would have to be, supporting this shower!

Right, so we're just supposed to forget the gimp exists.

They say that the people get the govt they deserve.

If you're any indication Broncos fans have definitely got the club they deserve.
