Though the club seems to like this drip feed approach!
People were critical of the club for not signing players up but they have a plan in place to reduce the ridiculous spending year on year and have made players offers that were at least the same as this year. Some players thought they would be able to get more, either elsewhere or from the club, but the Broncos stood firm and have signed two good players for next year.
The days have gone when the club would spend £70,000 a year on a luxury player.
I would suggest that as the club becomes more self sufficient, continues to make the top 4 and actually challenge SL clubs in the qualifiers the strategy is working and the long term future is more secure than ever.
