Korbin Sims : Thu Nov 19, 2020 7:09 pm  

Signed on 2 year deal

Another very good signing 6ft 3in 17 stone. Just the ticket

Plays in Similar role to Ashton. I saw an interview with Ashton when he was younger and was asked out of the 3 of them who is the toughest and he said Korbin can be a right cranky so and so. 2 more of him and with Linnett moving to SR we certainly won't lack size and grunt up front.

Another experienced half back would complete the squad for my liking

His fellow countryman Kane Evans would be an awesome signing. He's a free agent now too. Shame we can't spend full cap cos I'm sure he would come to us if we could afford him

But maybe with that pack the ones we have might do a good job

Going a lot better than I expected (in prospect at least), is this year’s recruitment.

I shall buy a shirt now to show appreciation.

Re: Korbin Sims : Thu Nov 19, 2020 8:42 pm  

Pleased with this, should be a really good signing. Type of player we've needed for years.

Rovers won't be signing a half back we have 4 already but are still in the market for another forward.

Last year it was Trout, Rawsthorne, Ellis etc. This year so far it's Vete, Hall, Mustapha and Sims. A step change in quality.

Expectations are realistically low with Paul Lakin simply aiming for year on year improvement. I'm starting to think we will get it.

Got to admit I was not confident about next season and feared the worst(again), and I know it's early days and take nothing for granted after the horrible thing that happened to Mose which set the tone for our season, but got to admit I'm feeling more confident for next season now. Credit to the club for bringing in the new signings and still think we need one more big forward to give us a proper chance of making some impact, as injuries always bite and seem to hit us, but much happier. Like the fact that Korbin Sims seems to have a bit of "attitude and an "edge" which can get the crowd motivated. Some supporters would have needed convincing to renew passes, hopefully these positive steps will make any renewal decisions easier. RRTR.

A good signing for us, a step up in quality from last year & somthing to build on. What we now need is three or four young prospects of similar size who would come cheap but have the role models to learn from. I have always thought that we should be looking at the local Union clubs there are a lot of good lads who don’t quiet have the build required for their code but maybe would thrive in ours?

Looks like a good signing for you lot.
