We’ve had years of a coach and his mates, then player power over a nice but not tough enough coach.

Now we’ve got a proven coach in who is determined to sort things out. It won’t take one transfer window anyway, so nobody panic just yet. Trust in the process.

He's only 26

Hopefully we'll be in for Eseh at Wakefield especially if they were to be relegated, young prop with loads of potential.

Its impossible to say until we actually announce a few more signings, departures and retentions. Until we have a better idea of what next years squad looks like maybe keep the knee unjerked?
Even our recent history is replete with unheralded and maligned signings proving excellent business so I'll reserve judgement for now, boring though that may be.

Would like to think we will be in for Kai O Donnell but reckon he will stay at Leigh.

We'll likely be linked to pretty much every half decent player who's said they're leaving the club in the next few weeks/months as we've so many off contract and a couple of quota spots to play with..just got to ignore a lot of it and wait until the club announces players I feel

i must have missed the club announcement on Satae
Although we know he is going.

We still have several more signings to make so let's just wait and see who we bring in.
Im just happy that Smith is now in charge of recruitment and retention.

But,but,but Bonnie needs to moan whilst he can, because he might not get many opportunities soon

I think if we do sign SKD it will be for 2 reasons
1. To replace Swift albeit he is slower but still a decent winger although geting on in age.
2. And the main reason I believe for the most important thing that we desperately need is change of culture and leader on the field. Also think Wood would be a decent signing. Now we need to go for props and SRs. Cant wait

Dads army on here would believe that too if it came from the club

What has Satae leaving got to do with Wood potentially signing?

One is a highly paid overseas prop the other a cheaper utility non quota back.

Let's wait until recruitment is finished, worth reading the comments on social media about Wood, a good majority of Rovers fans are surprised he is not been retained.

A good solid player, who will improve our squad and as it stands I'd have him over both our wingers who started against Wigan.
