Yeah I agree Faraimo will be one to certainly go to free up a quota spot and wages.
Mau I'm 50/50 with, his defence is decent but I also think at the moment he's one of the main culprits for brain farts in attack so ends up putting us under a lot of pressure, that and he's not making clean breaks like Mini used too , I'm not impressed with his passing at all. We need more than just tacklers, same with Fash yeah good honest kid but we need more well rounded players who are as good going forward as defending.

I honestly think with the wage Mau will command I'd say he's in our top 5 earners easily, that we can find a more effective second rower. Hodgson will probably know a good reserve grade second rower back home

Don't forget though...this IS the most expensive squad you have ever had in your history and described by your owner as 'unsustainable'.

What of it? My sporting spectatorship life will never be eclipsed after 2016, so I don't really care whether this squad is more or less expensive tbh. We could be playing in the championship and I'd be chipper as. Life is beautiful

Sure I heard AP say that we’ll be okay as long as we can start getting crowds in again, and get season pass numbers up to what they were previously.

No doubt the same as most other clubs.

Spot on. After 2016 my sporting landscape certainly changed.

Everything from that point on is a bonus to me.

Yeah we seem to agree that your expensive squad has failed. It's all downsizing from here.

Rovers are the future of Rugby League in this city.

You have been saying that Rovers will finish above Hull for the last few years.

I'd doubt it's our most expensive squad, look at the in and outside last year and we still have room for another couple of signings, so we aren't even at full cap.

5th in the league and a cup semi coming up, I would have taken that at the start of the year.

Performance wise, we have made improvements, certainly to our defence.

Silly Keith, look at the time I posted it.

Seems the RFL and Super league see it differently, or surely they would have granted you the academy elite license.

It’s June 1st soon, not April 1st

Didn’t see any Dobbins on this board this time last week.

Yes, times are good and we have reasons to be optimistic. A promising young coach, an energised owner and an elite academy - the only one within sixty miles.

Same as Craig Sandercock was the future of elite coaching in the city according to you. It must be exhausting creating these terminally unfulfilled jam tomorrow scenarios in your head even with a full decade+ of good experience, but still, on a gorgeous sunny day after a big Rovers win you're camped out here at midnight, crying for your dreams to be heard. It must be painful after all the late Morgan era peacocking that ultimately led to relegation, but creeping about on here like a spooky clown goading us after a beating winless Leigh is a pretty good indicator of how much rent free headspace of yours we occupy.



I think we all know you'll be spending the Bank Holiday writing some critical assessments of our defeat to the champions in the cup ready to send on Saturday. You've got to be in it to win it of course, so that leaves you with little else to think about next weekend but you could always listen to some folky dirges instead
