After the first 2 pre season games the Eagles have parted ways with Broadway Jr! I apoligise as I probably could have found plenty of better puns for the title of this thread. I never saw him play so have no idea what could have gone wrong or whether he was given a better offer or something elsewhere. I would say cutting a player early on is always concerning although in recent season is has become more of a habit for the Eagles and BBL teams in general. newcastle-eagles.com/news/club-statement-broadway-jr/ |

From the Surrey friendly he looked OK. Can't say anymore than that. He seemed like a good defender with good length and fitness, kind of Drew Lasker-esque in a way. He really didn't seem comfortable shooting or driving though. Can only assume personal issues or someone better is coming in perhaps.

It will be interesting to know which party decided this, I will say out of all of the Americans he is the one that on paper I would be least bothered about leaving
Eagles do need to get their roster sorted though I know most teams leave it until after the season starts to finish building the squad but they are probably three or four players away which is a bit worrying
Guessing by the statement it’s Eagles who cut him, I wonder how much that cost them

It will have cost them an air fare and visa application - players will be on a standard trial period enabling them to be cut at modest cost during that period. But not negligible.

Anyway, plenty of scope for more theatrics at Newcastle this season - we do, after all, have Hamlet…..

Duke Shelton playing for Eagles tonight. Cutting Broadway makes sense now.

Before he got injured last season I did feel he was starting to come into his own for us and less of the showboating. If we havent re-signed him then we should get the paperwork rolled out to him asap. |
