Exactly what we said at the time

Is Sinfield any relation to the guy I could not stand on the field when he played for Leeds ,but now think he should be Knighted

No, not even distantly.

I’m not sure how you can say that, his Trinity career can be measured in minutes. As for Shudds, well I wouldn’t judge any player on what’s happened there in recent years. But yes he wouldn’t be the top of my list. I’m all for giving players a chance to rebuild their careers, but I’m not sure this guy warrants it.

Some very poor minutes in my opinion. I wasn’t impressed but I can only form my opinion on what I’ve seen, however short that may be.

I’m glad you seem to be agreeing with my initial post that he’s someone we probably don’t need to look at.

I do agree but not based on what I’ve seen. More on his playing history. Reserve grade Catalan is not a great advert imho, they are very short of home grown players and you’d like to think that if he were any good they would have kept him. Even Cozza has a better back history imho.

Sadly the QLD/NSW Cup is where it’s at for up and coming talent not France. I know they are non quota but the quality just isn’t there. There are also way better Championship players and certainly better fringe players at clubs like Wigan.

Can’t argue with that. As you say if the quality was there they would end up at Catalans most likely. It’s a shame really in a way but I suppose it’s the result of only having 1 French team in SL and the competition over there not being to the same (or close) to SL. It doesn’t appear there’s the appetite or finance to see that happen anytime soon.

Just on Cozza, he should be entering his best years soon and I’m looking forward to seeing how he goes this year in SL.

Batch signed for another 5 years at KR.

Still criminal he was allowed to leave.

Allowed?
The days of clubs being in control of who leaves and who stays disappeared way way back. Money talks. Do you think Salford will be "allowed" to keep all their star players if new investors don't emerge soon?

Might help some fans move on a bit now. He's been very visible kissing the Rovers badge for some time so an extension isn't surprising. I very much doubt that he's been sat there wanting Matt Ellis to offer him a wad to move back either.

It's a job. He had better prospects at Rovers. He made the right decision.

But that implies it was in our control.
He may have just wanted to go to a club on the up and have the same prospects as his brother.
Our trajectory was only down at that time.
