Geniune thought - would you rather have retained Cockayne or Welham? I'm not for a second suggesting it's that straightforward but I would rather have kept Kris and maybe the money we're paying Cockayne could have been used there instead?

But cockayne can play on the wing full back or hooker and maybe at a push Centre welham only Centre so cockayne is a good backup

Good question. On the basis of contribution this season, I would have retained both and binned Salter. To answer the question directly, I would definitely retain Cockayne for his utility value.

From a tonsorial point of view, I would argue that ginger women usually provide a very good look and may not be harbingers of bad luck that Goose suggests.

If you'd lived my experience's of the evil gingers, you'd know I was correct.

Was up in your manor at the weekend, at them sheds at Cropton Forest, very nice.

All,jokes aside can't quite believe this has happened with Krissy really like the kid and it'll be very weird to see him line up against us.

He's had a great season with us this year and I can't wish him anything but the best.

Good luck Kris, in my opinion, he never did anything but give his all, you can't ask more than that.

Salter maybe on his way to if the rumours are true lets just say he's not injured as the club are stating

just said on sky scott wheeldon back to hull? think that might mean rovers?

Re: kris welham : Thu Sep 17, 2015 7:09 pm  

Sad to see him go, thought they'd come to some agreement with a testimonial not far away.

Been close to career best form this season IMO.

Hope he gets a big send off next week.

Good luck Kris.

Aye, couldn't agree more. A player who I enjoyed watching play for Rovers a lot.

I'll always remember his try in the play-off game we won. Arguably the high point of our SL adventures.

Re: kris welham : Thu Sep 17, 2015 9:24 pm  

Welham much improved after 2 dire seasons. He's been pretty solid this season but still not top class compared to certain teams. Probably leaving because he won't be a first choice centre next season. Shame to see him go all the same. On the other hand can someone please send a taxi for Turnstile Salter ASAP.

Re: kris welham : Thu Sep 17, 2015 10:14 pm  

I do get frustrated with some of the comments on here! not good enough for Rovers not the standard we want? This is the Kris Wellham who would have had international honours if he had not had a season ending injury (playing for Rovers) The Kris Wellham who is getting back to near his best & will captain the side tomorrow. I can't argue with the club or Kris if they can't agree & part company but to read some of the drivell on here turns my stomach, He has served this club well for 9 years. Finaly where are all the world class stars we are replacing him with? non of our recent signings in that area are any better than him. Good luck Kris I expect we will regret letting you go.
