How many points behind you did we finish, A massive two.
If that's vastly then I'm a snowman!!
Don't see Rovers with articles in the HDM regards season passes that may as well say BEGGING BOWL!!

Isn't it justified?
Signing a washed up 30 year old convert in a complete gamble to replace a young english international is not a positive move.
Hell, coming from union biggs is probably on more than briscoe.
Pearson by plenty!

I don't think that an early release will count on the cap but I also can not see how a single penny of his salary will count on the cap either.
Nice move if we are looking at stretching the cap this year...

| I'm pleased with this signing, as been said, there are very very few classy ENGLISH wingers around. The signings are not earth-shattering, but nor are any other clubs.
Our pot-less neighbours have lost their best player since Millward and are more bothered about our side. I can't wait to see Biggs and Lineham up against Dodgy Hodgy, (Ginger)Biscuit Body Welham or Caro.
Lets face facts, Briscoe was shoite for the last 12 months when he though he was off to Bondi Beach and now he has to make do with Hunslet Duck Pond. Tickle was woeful after that injury and our gain is Widnes' loss. O'Meley is a big miss, but Paea would have been my choice as replacement any day. O'Meley retired, by the way, so we had no choice. Johnson was always a filler. Lynch isn't going to better that first season with us so Palaeeasina -while an unknown quantity- cannot be any worse.
I've heard a rumour that we're sounding out a new scrumhalf, keen to come to the UK.

Briscoe hasn't been on international form for the last 18 mths, lets see what Biggs can do before deciding on if its a positive move.
As i've just said his wages will not count on the cap, as we seem to have the money to spend I don't understand the issue of his salary?

We beat you twice, scored more points, conceded almost 200 fewer points, got more competition points, reached a major final, won a play-off game, had the comp's Hit Man and Young POTY and got 2 in the Dream Team though. Just because you've signed The Brandy Snap Kid from Cas and a Catalans reject, I'd not get too cocky just yet. Dobson was pretty effective, remember, but like many others has sought to escape Sandercock before his contract's expired. I recall, both this year and last, after a mini lucky run of results for Rovers, you've been on here shouting the odds. Didn't turn out great, did it? What are you right now? 1 from 7. Oh dear.

You keep believing that According to your fans we've been going bust for 7 years, before that we'd never get into SL and even before that our club was as good as dead and it was only a matter of time.
What's next In the long line of shiite predictions I wonder.....

All that and you finished a mighty two points ahead of us. Oh how the mighty can preach!
Enjoy your thirty year old winger who's just replaced Tom Briscoe, A player who's never played a game of rugby in his life, A lad who will miss your pre season training where he would have learnt most of the technical aspects of positioning. Remember he's coming into a faster sport with two less players to slide across giving a better need of reading the finer points of our game. He's going to be playing almost two seasons on the bounce and at almost thirty how well will his body cope with the physical demands of Rugby without a break.

Ah look who's come out to play.
Finished getting excited over photos of your new stand.

And there you go. What a fantastic statement. Another thick tw%t.
Enjoy your signing from Cas who failed a medical at Hull FC and life without Dobson.
Biggs v Caro next year? Call an ambulance now.

You're sounding a bit desparate.
He's watched rugby league all his life. He may not have played it but he knows the game.
As for his age, he's younger than David Hodgson and Ben Cockayne.

And that super winger they signed from Batley last season.

So according to you, RL is the harder game, and Biggs won't cope physically at 30. You know he's a year younger than Cockayne, and 3 years younger than David Hodgson, right? And hasn't endured the sustained collisions that Rovers wingers have? Crikey, keep digging that hole.
