www.superleague.co.uk/matchday/player/3254 Stats are not looking brilliant to be fair. Averages two missed tackles a game although does seem to have good discipline and doesn't seem to make many errors. I suppose defense is the easiest thing to coach to a player if I'm clutching at straws.

I'll give him my full support as I do with everyone who pulls on the black and white. But I've never seen anything from him to say its a good signing. Good squad cover, but we have our own youngsters to do that on less money.

No. But there's a way. Tearing a 22yr old down before hes ever played for your club is embarrassing for the supposed self professed best fans 18th man n all that. Add it to the abuse Arundel n seymour had this yr, noticed a few really getting stuck into crookes the other night. Earlier this season someone actually turned up to Aaron H s house to abuse him!!! Sharp hall lee Thorman have had serious abuse in previous yrs. So I'd say plenty are n of no use to any club. Not just on about on here,on other outlets as well.
're Thomson I actually agreed with your post regarding him being un proven. But personally I think he'll turn out a good un

Cas were a real poor team at one point though n getting run ragged so stats will have taken a beating during that period

3 years ago no one wanted Danny Kirmond, age 24 with only 55 SL games to his name

To be fair though, he was a winger back then!

He is only squad cover at Cas, absolute mystery to me is this signing.

Has Walker also been confirmed by the club, was mentioned on the HDM site?

O'Meley 32-Paea 25 and on slightly less money

Galea 35-Thompson 22 and wont be on as much money.

So looking at that so far.....we have picked up a younger player for both and a vastly younger player with nearly 100 S/L apperances who wont be on as much as what Galea was on,so frees up a bit more on cap and gives us a player with experience in the 2nd row where we will be lacking a bit of depth and experience..we will now have Ellis,Pitts,Whiting,Thompson with Kent and Hadley to come in,plus Westerman can go there and have Whiting at 13...would like us to have a line-breaking 2nd rower but they are few and far between,so another big nasty B'stard of a prop will do.

This is what i think the article alluded to with waiting until the World Cup - we dont have to swap Lynch for Walker, but may do that if we dont think anyone at the WC is worth a bid

And?

Is Green not a S/R forward, if so it seems you have decent of cover in the back row even without Thompson.

cant argue with the man though can you???

More likely they are waiting because the new coach will want his own players.

The Thompson deal was done a long time ago judging by the strong early season rumours.

It claims Lynch has already agreed to a two year contract, sounds like a done deal to me.

IMO all rovers signings are a downgrade of the ones their replacing.

Without Dobson, rovers won't finish in the top 8 next year.
