The information I have it is a right load of cobblers.

I agree completely with this. Lovegrove is an very good forward who gets nowhere near the credit he deserves from what I have seen of him, and seems to be getting better as he gets older.

"Poore blindness", it's up there with "Hendo blindness" as the 2nd worse condition of all among a good percentage of Trinity fans. I hope to God he doesn't bust a tackle in a kick off return in a big game or then we could have a new Champion of Champions....

As previously reported by the Mail, Wakefield have agreed to allow Cockayne to speak to the Robins, but negotiations remain ongoing.'"

Then we certainly don't agree.....on either of your examples

I'd rather keep Poore than swap for Lovegrove and I don't even think its a close decision based on performance/ability.

But each to their own

leave Hendo out of it !!! He was a grafter who never took a backward step and every team needs guys like that

Why would we consider taking Lovegrove as part of a deal for Poore. He has been released by Hull KR therefore they cannot expect a transfer fee or think if they wanted to sign Poore that we would reduce any fee.
Now we have covered the stupidity of this assumption why do some supporters think that a player released by Hull KR is better than an Australian who played at the top level in the NRL. If he was that good they would keep him.

Lovegrove is a good solid performer, but he has not really done anything spectacular in the 7 years he has been over here.
Expect Poore to build on last year and show his true worth in his 2nd year.

Would Lovegrove be a better 13 instead of Washbrook? Lovegrove hasn't been released but told he can go apparently with 2 years left on his contract?

Again it comes down to cash and would Lovegrove take an overseas quota?

If so we still need a 6/7 player which is more pressing in the next few weeks/months if an experienced overseas player comes on the cheap....

Hopefully Kay signs and is given a chance along with Wildie, Trout and Walshaw...

Above all finance is needed.

Perhaps we use our eyes and brains to form an opinion based on what we see on the park and understand what we are watching?

Quick question Agent X111, would you rather have Josh Perry or Danny Kirmond in our pack?

Lovegrove is a half decent player but is far better in the back row than at prop and as such would be no replacement for Poore.

I have a spurious question for you would you have our new signing Smith in place of DK because it could happen. Josh Perry was injured for most of his time over here so is not a good comparison which is why I suppose you picked him.
