Absolutely, Hendo has relocated his family to London, he is very approachable and as you say, bought into the whole London culture.
His championship background means he knows from the inside what is required.
Joey I doubt had any idea of what championship rugby was all about, got some of his mates in and soon found out how hard it really is down in the second tier.
Hendo, very much dropped in it last year, now has his chance to prove how good he is. It is now mostly his team and hopefully he will not be called on to play.
He can just run the team and we as a club will progress.

How is that measured?

The benchmark is set so low that if Broncos win their opening couple of gimme fixtures people on here will be doing cartwheels.

Hello Mr Happy!

Not wrong though am I.

Similarly if Broncos fall flat on their faces it will be deemed a blip & all will come right in the end.

Maybe the approach is to take a totally neutral view to anything that happens, dont get excited when its going well, dont look at how things could be improved when it goes wrong! Dont live in hope that things will get better when things are going wrong.
Why bother being a supporter at all!
Ah maybe because thats what you do as a supporter, maybe thats what you do in life when things are going wrong, look at when its going to get better.
Or sorry is that being an apologist

London NEED to win those opening games, and if at all possible convincingly. Make up for the move to the new home ground.

We should expect to win the first two games. We are a fulltime club playing the two newly promoted teams.
Now the third game,Leigh away is a different kettle of fish. That will be a real test.

The only way to make up for the move to the new "ground" is to up sticks (again) & move to an actual ground.

Maybe 'make up for ' is the wrong phrase, but suffice to say the only thing that would make the odd visit to the woefully inadequate facility in Ealing will be Broncos spanking all comers! Which could then lead to the million pound game- win that and we'll be upping sticks again as you say. To somewhere with at least the minimum requirements of a SL ground.

TBH I think Joey wasn't the only one underestimating the difficulty in getting out of the the Championship, many supporters did and I'll put my hand up to being one of them

Without doubt many of us assumed that we would waltz our way into the middle eights where, we would possibly have a bit more of a struggle to progress.
The home game to Doncaster when we raced off into a lead in the first half and got ripped apart in the second half just to hang on to win.
Then away to Sheffield at Doncaster where we got gubbed, really bought it home to me.We were not as good as I had hoped.
However my many years as a Broncos fan I should have known what to expect. Disappointment.

To be fair the squad looked fine to cope with the league.

It went wrong with injuries to senior players, players walking out, coach sodding off........ it's as if it just wasn't going to happen.

This years league looks tougher but the Broncos look better equipped to deal with it.

I'm just wondering if Hendo is the right guy(nice guy etc but is he smart enough). Leadership and Management are different things

Well he didn't do too badly after being chucked in at the deep end - also has he got the ruthless streak a manager needs. Personally I think we could still do with him in the playing squad.

Did we win any games where he didn't direct proceedings?
