We're surviving, just need some signings and hopefully we can compete to avoid relegation next season.

Doubt relegation will happen to you lot broncos if anyone you still got some good players. Think your chairmans done well to wipe the debt before 2014 starts bit tough losing stars but keeping in SL is the main. You will soon attract decent players again youve done it before. Aslong as you lot keep pouring in and supporting, and tbf once its in your blood its hard to walkaway. lol. Big name stars are getting very few now its home grown talent what is going to save the clubs may take a few seasons but will be worth the wait. good luck for 2014 pal. Until we play you. #COYH. haha.

Agreed. Of all the things Agar can be criticised for that ain't one of em

What id like to know from clan, is a while ago discussing our academy with him I pointed out that he had an ulteria motive as a coach of a u14 team in Wakefield to have a close relationship with our academy coaches several times I saw him upstairs watching the academy games with them at the time he denied a special relationship ,but now he's telling us who we are signing ,some juniors , some cheapies, some who might cost us a bit is he guessing, or really in the know,over to you

What's wrong with his relationship, surely the club should be trying to establish better ties with local clubs? And surely as a former pro for the club he should have a special bond with the club?

No you said I had a relationship with our U16s which I absolutely had not, my opinions were purely my own and not positively or negatively swayed by any past or present connection to the players or coaches.

This year I've joined the coaching staff of our Academy but other than watching I'd had no input or connection to last years U16s.

With regard to possible signings, I'm speculating and making educated guesses just like everyone else.

Roberts is a better player than Tim Smith... IMO. But I doubt we could attract him!

Signing any Aussie based players at the moment is tricky... The relative cost of living, is significant...

Earning a good whack in the UK is a pittance compared to an equvelant job in AUS. Trinity need to look for players who want an adventure or to extend their playing career... No one will come for the money (we can afford anyway).

Also... Japanese Rugby Union mop up many decent fringe NRL players with big and I mean BIG contracts.

I would agree if it wasn't for Noble. He will be the difference. He took the Crusaders to eighth, and the following year the same players finished bottom under Harris.

I'm not sure why that should be a problem either way?

Pete Smith announced that a second off-season signing to be announced tomorrow.

One rumour was Manlys David Gower had been offered a deal by us. He has just signed for parramatta.

Interesting, I've been reading a bit on this on one of the Aussie forums. Super League Europe is really falling down the food chain when you look at the player martket from a global perspective.

Mark Mexico? 5 ft 11 and 16 stone 4llbs prop plays in PNG for Lae Tigers. Cheap but didn't really notice him for PNG en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Mexico Maybe recommended by Aiton?

He had a few good games. Bust a few tackles and is a big lad. Has a great name as well
