Don't think so. Kane Linnett has announced his retirement so I expect Rovers will be announcing the signing of Tanginoa soon.

Having to replace Fifita is bad enough but having to replace Tanginoa too and the depth for a number of positions will prove a challenge.

Looking forward to seeing a few big signings incoming soon fingers crossed.

I still think we need to manage expectations.

Fifita was one of the best props in Super League on his day. Its not going to be a like for like replacement for the Championship.
Same with Tanginoa......though his involvement was limited so we are replacing what he could do rather than what he did.

I’m well aware of the age of certain members of our team. Would you really want a 34 year old and 36 year old playing in our halves next year?? Jerry is a great signing even at his age, he’s genuinely been world class, has Myler? Each to their own it’s all opinion, but I don’t contradict myself at all.

Of course you are your saying myler too old but others aint i too think jerry will be good but also think myler would of been

He's saying there's more to it than just age.

The thread seems to have disappeared off RWB FB or at least I can't find it anymore.

I don’t rate Myler and don’t fancy a 34 year old with his legs gone running around with Gale or Lino. I’d prefer to have someone younger, I’d even take Miller over him. Least when Griffin slowed down they moved him to SR and he’s been great, and Jerry will eat metres out of our half alongside Thornley. Myler just isn’t for me but I respect your opinion.

I’d prefer Myler over Miller every time but ideally i’d want neither. For me the 3rd halfback needs to be someone younger with a view to them taking over from Gale in 12 months time.
