I'd echo that. I've a lot of respect also for his comment in the Worrier that he felt he was playing for a contract, i don't think he could have done much more than he did to warrent an offer, and i don't think any potential signings should make any difference

Mick govin showed his class i hope he gets a contract would rather have him playing for us than against us.

Lets keep hold of him, I rate him highly.

On a linked note, I noticed on the inside of Saturdays courier that he gave up work to concentrate on his rugby,shows a high level of commitment.

There's no talk of a Branighan deal, you would expect that to be publicised now if true.

Looks like Govin will be re-sgined and a good signing that would be IMO.

In the League Express, with Calland talking about Makali and Stanley, it makes mention to Calland on what he is looking for:

'Calland is now looking for a backrower and outside back to complete his 2010 squad'.

Dosen't look like his is now looking for a stand off.

and on Stanley

'He is so versatile - he's a freak of nature really, and can play stand-off, second row and loose forward'.

Maybe Stanley is the stand-off and Govin for cover?

Govin has always been class - I hope he can steer well clear of injuries, from now on.

wonder if barrow have targeted one of our hookers to replace ellis ? would be a shock if any of them went but would make govins re-signing imperative.

worth keeping as he has been playing well all season when fit.
we missed him when injured.

Deal is done, Signings weren't announced before the end of our season so not to disrupt the current squad.

I'd imagine within the next couple of weeks we'll find out who's not staying as once the dust has settled after the final the players who will be moving on will probably be told.

Why would we want one of your hookers ??

err i think he had already answered your question. Do try and keep up.

Are you feeling ok today ?

Mick deserves a chance, we need cover for the stand off and scrum half roles and he would be ideal, you could rotate them that would give us fantsatic options.
We have stuck by him through his injuries, he should be given next year to see how he does now he looks free from them.

its a tricky one with Govin really like the guy but is he worth a contract with past injury record seems to recover for a while then gets crocked again would like to see him given an extended run in the team at stand off if we decide to keep him.I think i would risk a one year deal.
