Squad for 2018 : Sun Sep 10, 2017 8:54 pm  

Need to hang on to Abdul.

Marsh can go.

Jewitt is a penalty machine but undecided as he has a decent run on him.

Ellis can go, too hit and miss.

Salter can go, not good enough for SL now.

Horne can go, not been great for a couple of years.

Quinlan has lost his edge and can go. Moss has turned into a great player and improved a lot.

Masoe automatic extension?

Need...

Another strong winger
Two forwards
A bigger Loose Forward

All might be harsh but we must push on to avoid m8s next year.

Jewitt been excellent so I'd definitely keep him salter has already signed marsh and Horne can go agree about quinlan thought Moss was unlucky to lose his place to him don't think we need another winger Oakes to step up don't believe we need a bigger loose forward

Jewitt is the type of prop we've been crying out for, roughs the opposition up and takes no rubbish. Yes he gives penaltys away, but that's what you get with these sort of players.

Re: Squad for 2018 : Sun Sep 10, 2017 9:47 pm  

Players that can go:
1 Quinlan - too injury prone. And looks half arsed a lot of the time.
2. Hodgson - still on the playing roster. Full time coaching role from now on.
3. Ben Cockayne - going anyway.
4. Mitch Clark - seems out of favour, and hasn't done enough to warrant a place.
5. Graeme Horne - needs to retire.
6. Matty Marsh - After the years he's been with us, I still don't know his best position.
7. Liam Salter - Decent defence, not potent enough going forward.
8. Jamie Ellis - decent championship player, nothing more nothing less.
9. Zdc - don't know if he's quota. But his lack of game time doesn't bode well for him. The form of Lawler hasn't helped him either.
I could name a few more. But the cap saved above could bring in 2-3 decent players in positions needed.

Jewitt is a must keep for us next year... big mins and aggression!

It boils over on occasion, but if u have him screwfix and mose - add mully and u have a front row to work with in SL

Saw on Facebook mose's twitter 'never fear I am a Robin next year'. What about the halves? Maguire won't be partnering atkin or Abdul if we keep him.

Just read in the mail sheens says rovers have been planning for weeks in case we get back up and sheens says he has several players in mind to make sure we do not become a yo yo team if it stays the same has the 8s is now

ZDC's contract runs until end of 2018.

Will he spot lunt then? Definitely no half back which would mean lawler reverting to back row which isn't a bad thing.

Surely he wont be kept if he can't get into a championship side?

I think you need about 5 top players (maybe 6 if Abdul or Ellis aren't kept)

FB
Centre
Halfback
Prop
Backrower

Think Jewitt will get found out in SL, he didn't particularly stand out last time in SL and his discipline will cost you (I'd have been fuming with him for that 79min penalty he coincided on Saturday).
