| Earlier this year there was talk of having Horne as our full back for next year. we needed someone else to at least cover or someone good enough for Horne to be cover for.
McDonnell did play for the Exiles, but then again so did, Lauaki, and Hodgson wasn't available,
as with all signings, looking forward to seeing what he can do in a black and white shirt. that's 3 rovers players we've signed now, Watts got better and better, Galea will be solid and committed no doubt, McDonnell being a recognized full back is a great thing, he has a lot of try assists on his stats which is promising

I agree with this, I think he will go well.

| Quote: rover49 "As I have posted umpteen times on our forums, IMO Hall will be a mistake at fullback. As for McDonnell improving under better coaching, how long did he play in NRL under good coaching. I think he is as good as he is likely to get, which is average at SL and 2nd grade in NRL.'"
Disagree. hall will bebrilliant at FB [sizeIf you're not a rovers supporter[/size

| Well this is a great recommendation for McDonnell
Mind you, His Bobness is the worst predictor on RLFans, so what would he know?

A couple of things I find difficult to get to grips with in that quote:
1) Lovegrove in the homegrown/local category.
2) A team who just finished 10th, 2 points behind a team docked 6, winning only 1 from the last 10 games of the season, and who have since sold 2 of their best players, are on the verge of being as good as anyone in the league bar Wigan and Wire?
