Might go as well as Greg Richards, Cory Hall, Reiss Butterworth, AJ Wallace, Louis Senior.

Rovers have got a good squad, but they do make odd signings

It's great that there getting games, but it's more out of necessity isn't it?

Not all but the fact we could have played Pele or Ockunbor, Moy in front of Moy etc, shows the direction we ate trying.

If Hull had signed these all the people praising them would find the negatives.

If we had signed him, certain posters would comment would be that he has never played SL and would be coming back from nearly a year out after a serious injury.

We sign Mickey Mac, he's to old, KR sign him and it's a shrewd signing.

For all the talk of us having an old squad, Rovers have:

Evalds 31
Burgess 30
Hiku 32
JWH 37
McIllorum 37
Sue 32
Hadley 31
Tanginoa 32

The love in is strange

To be fair at the start of the season the club did say they where going to get a chance maybe not a many as we have, but if you look at the top sides in the league Saints, Wire and Wigan they all invest in the academy's and bring players through unlike some clubs who are just after a quick fix to end their forty year drought.

But at least we can put them on the field if necessary. The futures bright in black and white. Your points scoring has hit and all time low. Your going to have more grubs in the team than an anthill.
