Luke Page lined up apparently, hopefully it'll end better than our last PNG experience

Just looked at him on UTUBE he looks a wrecking ball type 6-1 17stone playing for Burleigh Bears has played for Broncos and Canberra 25 yrs old Has played for PNG but born in Australia another ginger
Not heard from anyone else about rovers in for him so don't know where name came from maybe some truth in it, you don't just pull a name out of the bag

Heard it from a big Rovers fan, EDIT MR - I think I know who you mean and he hasn't forgiven me for last time (when, in fairness, I had no clue)

Heard a rumour today you are interested in Matonga on loan from us, be a good signing, thought he did well today when most other forwards were dominated, is keep him at Hull as I think he could push for a bench spot in a few games.

I didn't think Matonga made any real yards at all. Just a carthorse. We had a better carthorse in Cox before we binned him off. Heard before the game Sheens was looking at Fash so I watched him a little. Very vocal but didn't do alot. I'd be very underwhelmed if it was announced in the morning.

Disagree, thought he made good yards particularly after contact, only a young kid aswell. Surely got to trust Sheens judgement?

I thought he did well and was hoping it would be him if we were signing one of your youngsters

No thanks to both of them. Not good enough.

Don't think he's what we need. We've got Mulhern and Moran for hoping for, we need somebody we can expect from. I don't think Matonga is there yet, even in the championship. Or the end of the Championship we want to be at, anyway.
