yet we're getting ever closer and on recent form you are getting ever further away, cheap dig which i'm sure will come back to bite you very soon.

The difference in those signings is the ones you've listed for Rovers will block the path for any of their youth players. The ones for Hull are made with the end result in mind of actually benefitting our youth by giving them the knowledge they need to make the step up. Hardaker (troubled time off the pitch but has undoubtedly been a superstar on it) will be invaluable for our England academy centre and also highly rated young full back. Holmes has nearly 300 games experience to pass on to our young second rower but looked very good last year.
Alongside Sezer to help with players like Charles and Kemp, Rapana to guide Barron, Martin and Moy. Our signings will steady the ship next season, but they have also been made with long term thinking in mind with regards to giving our young players every opportunity to make it as SL players. Rovers are doing the opposite and trying to buy short term success with seemingly no youth to fall back on should that not work out

Your whole post proved to be a load of e when you claimed Ese'Ese would only 'potentially' get in your team when you have plodders like Luckley and Brown, or Sue who Ese'Ese can comfortably play more minutes than (plus the other 2 props listed above)

Brown and Wynne aren't young projects anymore. Wynne is almost 24 and Brown will be 25 in a few months.

We might be getting further away running on a shoestring since covid, but now we have extremely wealthy owners who don't appear to be messing around and money will not be an issue anymore.

In 5 years time we'll be right back up near the top of SL and have everything in place to stay there long term.

And they’ll still have shipping containers propping up their big screen.

You were getting closer. The landscape has changed again now. Sorry about that.

Sad reality for you is that you can have your best ever season, we can have our worst ever season, and we’ll still be the bigger club with bigger support.

Just how it is, thems the rules.

Not worth the debate if you think Ese Ese would potentially get in your 17, your bias clearly shows here.

I see our neighbours are getting a bit twitchy now the big dogs of the city are back...

Name any Rovers prop and let's compare there stats for last year, let's see how Ese Ese compares?

Yes I'm sure the local stars of the future will now be flocking to Rovers with their 3G pitch on Preston Road.

Having said that, who gives a about Rovers anyway? This is a thread about our recruitment.

Even in their best every SL season, we could laugh at them, battered in the semi, didn't score a try in the final.
