What a difference a few days make, a couple of players signed, Wells, Hetherington & Brisbane Broncos bandied about, with a fair amount of optimism in the air. All this with very few or any facts in the public domain. Fingers remain firmly crossed as it would be very Broncos if it all went belly up. :PRAY:

A coupla signings is a boost but getting excited about a pie in the sky involvement from an Oz club (that has already distanced itself from the rumours) is, sadly, likely to end in deflation. Mind you, hopefully not.

There is a world of difference between "excited" & "optimism" Bongy. Doubt any of us are excited, but most of us are probably enjoying a little bit of optimism compared to even last week.

Given Eccles has alluded to positive news and Hetherington has said he’s helping out in the search for investment, it would suggest quite a bit of positivity at the minute.

So the nothing story from last year proves to still be a nothing story?

When it was bandied about at the tail end of 2024, I spent 30 minutes researching all the named parties and the end result was they didn't have a pot to pee in between them and certainly not enough cash to throw £1,000,000 or so a year at the club for 5 years whilst trying to get the IMG points required for SL. Essentially it was a sports event travel agency with little pedigree.
It is a crying shame that Brisbane are not interested, but I would take their disinterest over this sham of a consortium any day
