Talk about misinterpreting a quote.
Stop spending so much time analysing quotes from FC and looking for faults.
Who knows? By the time Arundel and Watts reach Ellis's age they may have achieved as much as him and proved to have been top calibre signings. Time wil tell.
But we are not going to be filling the team with players over 30 who have achieved much. We need the best of the youth as well.

Well I will stick my my neck on the line now and clearly say Arundal and Watts will never achieve anything in the game to be compared to Ellis.

Hudgell said 7 years ago that your 5 year plan was to be challenging for SL honours in a 14 k stadium. You're currently out of the play-off places and according to some in a similar financial position to Bradford, looking to trade down your squad on gates of 7k. Rovers most publicised achievement of the last 3 years, sadly, has been the ridiculed Willie Mason saga, a truly shambolic effort by your incumbent administration. The landscape of recruitment is changing for both clubs, but the acid test will be the quality of squads our respective coaches put together. I'm happy as it stands that AP won't sell Gentle or the fans short in this respect. We may not get the best squad but we will be looking at a spend approaching the full cap. Will Hudgell maintain his assertion of challenging for SL honours? He'd better, that £2m stand won't pay for itself.

And this is on the FC board on an FC thread for what reason?

You read what AP quoted, his last two signings are not exactly what he claimed.

Here's an idea for you. We'll stay on our board and you stay on yours, with the rest of the underclass.

At least our signings will be known,unlike your mob who seem to take any journeyman Aussie going.

you cant fill the team with ellis-esque signings though can you and until AP says thats the recruitment is done for next year,you really cant spout can you?

God...so what if they arent what "AP claimed"...sooner have Pearson to back the coach than the gob$hite midget you have.

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?

Berrigan took us to a cup final thanks......How did Dobson do at his Aussie clubs eh...sod all,thats what,pity Dobsons NRL career doesnt match that of Berrigans.So you saying Berrigan was a journeyman ...who is this bugger you have signed...nobody has heard of him.

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.
