Quote: rover49 "You are joking aren't you, with the possible exception of Burns I think they are all better.'"


I don't know who you've brought in who are better than:

Josh Hodgson, Travis Burns, Juston Poore, Neville Costigan, Jason Chan

Plus the sheer number of the players you've let go / have left is too many and will cause distuption, especially when all your pivots left at once, and you still don't seem to have a decent hooker

I don't see it as a job. It is a passion and love that we all share. Neil Hudgell:30566.jpg



Not replaced Hodgson with good enough quality, totally agree but it seems we are still in the hunt for a hooker, looks likely it will be one from the NRL.

Burns has certainly been adequately replaced along with Keating, with Kelly and Blaire coming in for them, plus still on the look out for another half back according to Chester.

Replacing Poore won't be very difficult along with Costigan, already in is Bailey and other reports suggest Allgood has signed. We have signed Mcarthy, Donaldson and Burke to play in the back row. Chan was only on loan for a short period, so won't be missed.

Our backiline is massively improved! You are right it's a lot of players to gel but the squad really needed it, we got rid of a lot of deadwood, fingers crossed we can gel pretty quick.

Fair enough. Still, they have kept Tony Smith which I think is key.

Hard to say until they've played a few times. Keating was hailed by most Rovers fans as a adequate replacement for Dobson.

As with any signings from down under they could be great signings or could be complete disasters (and yes Hull FC have had plenty of the latter).

Very fair point and one I totally agree with.

I think anyone who has seen Kelly play would mostly agree he is a better player than Burns. I'm hoping Blair has more to offer than Keating, not seen anything of him at 6/7, only at centre. His previous coach seems to think they will go well. I'm pretty sure we can't be any worse off in the halves as we was last season.

Was he? Which reputable polling agency came up with that result? I can only think of 1 Rovers fan who actually thought that.

Yada Yada

Yes the ridiculously aggressive start, shoulder charge on very first tackle, Masoe's high shot in the first set and then LH elbow/forearm smash on Flower. Yet it's Wigan who are thugs apparently. Lance should have gone for what he did, even YG has admitted that. There's good reasons why we weren't as strong in the middle in the last 2 games, look at the pack we had at the DW, and i'll say it yet again we had 12 players for 78 minutes, with only one prop on the pitch at any one time. How did you get on after Walmsley got sent off? You were leading weren't you?

Again another goon who conveniently ignores the fact that Flower had already stiff armed Hohiah in the back of the head. When he stated that Wiganers consider everything other than Wigan to be poop, This statement proves the fact. icon_rolleyes.gif

So are you saying when the Keating signing was announced most Rovers supporters didn't think he was an adequate replacement? I seem to recall most were happy at the signing of an NRL Grand Finalist.

Top 6 in no particular order:

Wire
Wigan
Saints
Cats
Leeds
Hudds

- We (Wire) have made some top signings
- Hill Clark Sims will be formidable
- Joel will be up for top TS again
- O'Brien and Myler are clicking
- Our squad has some depth across the field so competition for places will be healthy

You never know guys, it could be our year. icon_wink.gif (sarcasm)

Let's get this right. I was talking about saints aggressive start to the game, why would I have mentioned Flower, he doesn't play for saints. If you want to go over the whole incident yet again, then yes, Flower did instigate it, but tell me if LH had been sent off like he should have been, would you have deemed his response acceptable?

Are you saying I stated that? I was responding to SLS saying that. If you read my whole post, you would have seen glowing praise for Roby, Walmsley and your prop forwards in general, who I believe have more go forward than ours. It seems it's you who's conveniently forgotten what I posted. And you called me stupid with your smiley faces!!!
Don't be so bloody stupid, fancy hijacking a thread called SL 2015 table with a prediction of who think the top 6 might be when you could be joining in with the latest 'thinking' of what would have happened if Flower hadn't done this or Lomax and Walsh had have been fit all year....you know exciting cutting edge debate that needs appropriate 'air time'

Meanwhile over in Holland, is Ronan Keating better than Gene Kelly and is Mr Burns right to leave Springfield blah blah please keep up Vespid

My top 6 would be
Saints
Wigan
Wire
Cats
Giants
Leeds

I think Catalan could be a real danger to the top teams if they can sort out their away form. Wigan will struggle initially without Green, but will be there or thereabouts.

As for bottom six, I find it too tight to call. Wakey seem to be most peoples pick, but I'm not so sure, I like the look of their team.

Sorry for going off thread people, it's just that I've read so many ridiculous comments lately on here that I just bit. Apologies. a046.gif

If you want ridiculous comments, stick to the Wigan board.
