London Broncos • London Broncos v Batley

Not sure about Peter. I once bumped into an old youth coach of his up north. He was quite damning, saying Broncos harmed his career. He stated the senior coaching staff basically ignored Peter and the youth set ups we occasionally got together for him to play in simply weren't good enough. As such, Peter spent much of his time with us playing RU for Charlton Park, to ensure he got game time.
To be fair he also said the - then full time - Broncos learnt a lot from what happened to Peter and was confident any youngsters heading south then would have been treated much better.
I can't understand the youth setup being ignored back in the late 90's Peter Lupton played in the same academy team as my sons friend (who we used to sponsor). As far as I know they had the same opertunities back then as they have know playing against other super league club academies. Where possible we used to watch the academy games at home and away. If my memorey serves me right Bev Risemen used to be involved with the youth setup at Brtoncos in the late 90's.
