Does it matter if he's marquee? All it does it keep his cap value lower, especially if he's our home grown marquee

but a three year contract does just like the other average Joes on 2/3 year deals

Depends on what the 'average joes' are on doesn't it?

We've obviously got spare cap space for this season with us signing Salabio and ready to sign Cross if/when Salford go belly up.

Wondered when you'd pipe up. Any negative news and your like a rat up a drainpipe

Depends what's in the contract though, doesn't it?

If we had a team full of "average Joes" wouldn't we finish mid-table..?

A team full of FC Joe's would be a great off season thread.

I'm struggling after that.....

Yep Sezer and Cust as half's for start of the season. My optimism for the new season has just taken a knock.

Oh boy things are quiet!!!! I can recall just 9 more Joe's who played for us and that just about gives us a team, although a lot would have to play out of position!!!!.

I think looking at the stuff I have its difficult to furnish a full FC team with joes. Of course there was Joe Brown loose forward or half back, the famous Joe Oliver full back and we also had a Joe Ramsden a second row who played for us in 1942 on loan from rovers because they didn't run a war time team. More recently there was Joe Bullock who played two games on loan from Salford for us. Joe Hamill was a prop in the 1914/15 season There was also a Joe 'Cloggy Clarke' but about him I know nothing

Then stretching it a bit, there's young Joe Thompson Joe Ward and Joe Turner who play for our current academy

Rovers got rid because he turned up preseason massively over weight, he then had hamstring issues at Catalan

He needed his knee cleaning out last season.

Why sign him if he needed a knee op then? And wait until now to address it?
