Your so right!
Just remind me how the current SOO and Aus International Shaun Berrigan did for you guys, then take a look at what Dobson has done for Catalan, Wigan and HKR, now you tell me about how some of these unknown Aussie journeymen go in SL. There again just remeind me of the competion we are playing in?

He must be s**t then, damn, another huge boob by the board and CS.
I suppose Pitts, Arundal and Watts have wetted your fans appetitie to be finaly back up with the big boys for next season.

i know what your saying but signing young british talent is what every club needs to do. that statement what ap says does not say were going to sign the best player in the world in every position be realistic please. you know what he means. the likes of ellis is a great buy i expect 1 or 2 more big names to come and with the others rumoured i think we will have a good squad next year to take us to the next level

Dont know how they will go but Pitts has looked good and the other 2 will have to wait and see wont we but our recruitment isnt over as more to come in.As for the big boys...who have they signed..Wigan are losing 4,warrington arent as good when players out..Leeds creaking and a average Sts team..Hudds lost a pivotial player and coach...Catalans will be main contenders next season...oh yes...hardly any signings been made by them to wet their fans appetites has there.

| Good to see Pumpkin back down to his usual low standards. For a while there his position as Most Pathetic And Obvious Rovers Troll Ever was under serious threat.

| Quote Rupert Pupkin="Rupert Pupkin"Correct
Lets make this simple. AP said your signings would be top class, in the same mould as Ellis. Out of your 3 signings so far, this is only true on one occasion.
Losing Manu and replacing him with Ellis IMO is not a step forward, more of a like for like. Manu has consistantly been your top attacking player and a player teams fear.
Again signing Arundal is more a like for like after losing Turner, but how Arundal goes, nobody is really sure. He looked good in his debut season but has spent the majority of this season injured.
Watts as most of us Rovers fans know he has the potential but as for applying that well, lets just say he has shown very little of it in his last two seasons. An improvement, who knows!
With the rumours surrounding the club regarding players wanting out, the running of the club been a shamble, it could well be a different FC side we see out next season. AP has alot of work to do regarding ingoing and outgoing players, I suppose we will see what true ambition he has in the next signings brought in.'"
The problem is that whatever pearson does, we still have the 2 limiting factors of salary cap and players actually available. If we can address a few small fundamental weaknesses then we can significantly improve. A half back with a kicking game who doesn't spend most of the season injured would be a start. A couple of decent props and good full back who doesn't feck off 1/3 of the way into the season and I think we'll be firmly in the group of teams behind wigan. Looks like plenty of teams will likely be weaker next season anyway
