Don't you go to derby games? Rovers have won the Clive Sullivan trophy year after year for ages now.

Challenge Cup, Clive Sullivan Trophy, Roger Millward Trophy, Man of Steel Trophy, Coach of the Year Trophy. What you got in yours?

I agree about Rapana.Total waste of a quota spot
You dont bring in someone like Rapana because he is experienced and good to have around in the dressing room you use your quota spots on overseas players because they are usually better quality than uk players.He was a wing and now way past his best.
That said given we are playing with no centres and no second row its little wonder we struggle in some games
Every season we say we have to add some pace.
If Cartwright decides to use Pryce as a full back then we need a running halfback.If he moves Pryce to six then we have to find a running full back.
Centre though has to be a priority.
Hardaker though could give us a useful second row option and an ideal bench player given his ability to also play in the backs
Hardaker

I dontthinm pace is too much of an issue, as long as we made breaks we should score with our wingers and when price is back.


We have 3 decent centres IMO in Hardraker, Rapana and Litten, unfortunately two of those have hardly played there, in an ideal world we would have a top class centre  but very unlikely with a quota spot, so unless we release someone, we have those three there next season.


We also have 3 quality  backrowers for next year, just hope we can get them on the field.


Some decent depth too with Bailey, Chamberlain and Hardraker. Add in another year and some league 1 experience for Westermam and Kirby.


Good to see the club looking at the training facilities to reduce the injuries.

Yippee try yay:

I think one problem we do have which may have been overlooked is the fact that we don't have any natural centres at the club aside from Chamberlain, the following have all played centre at some point this year:


Chamberlain- actual centre
Hardaker- played most of career at full back but made a late transition to centre
Barron- Winger
Briscoe- Winger
Rapana- Winger/Fullback
Litten- Fullback


Out of all the above the only one with any real size and pace is 35 year old Tom Briscoe. We need some real size and strike in the centres, looking at players like Nui and Hanley at Leigh, Wardle at Wigan, King and Tai at Wire etc... our centres don't carry that same threat.
