Well how extraordinary is that? Just when I think it's not possible for Rovers to show any further level of incompetence they somehow manage to take it up a notch. I have been saying for weeks that non fed = non fed no matter what your bloody passport says. Clearly Mr Typowriter doesn't understand the rules of the competition we are happy to boast we have been part of for 10 years.

The car crash just crept forward another yard.....

Looking at the weather forecast for Sunday afternoon. Very windy (25 to 30mph) and showery. Factor in the swirl effect off the River and it makes for a more interesting contest.

Wouldn't want Dixon, Shaw or Sio at FB in those predicted conditions, given what's at stake. Cockayne the most experienced FB option for crap East Hull weather, despite his limitations.

Was delighted when I heard Sio was to move to Full Back for this season, but this current car crash calls for a game by game reappraisal, especially given the threadbare nature of our resources and their proven inconsistencies.

I agree. It is a complicated rule - but not that blooming complicated. If true, it'd be poor, as it was questioned pretty much immediately. While I don't expect the club to pore over the wisdom offered on the forums, but if we realised, surely they should have (again, if true).

Is this incompetence about a player Rovers have never even mentioned?

So, Rovers have never mentioned said player but have shown great incompetence in not signing someone they have not mentioned they were trying to sign?

Yes. I officially nominate Charlie as our bad weather fullback. Essential if we are to win 30-0 as per your prediction. I thought I would show some solidarity with you, Frankie, and try and shoe horn in an equally absurd post under the radar. Epic Fail.

I actually think that is a consideration.

I still wouldn't select Cockayne though.

CP is a horrible ground to play full back at, the wind swirls all over the place and the modern balls and spiral kicks are seriously challenging to deal with.

Other least favourite grounds are Mount Pleasant and Post Office Road, I remember fielding a kick in the corner at Fev and having two massive props running down the slope at me. Bad times.
