agree with that! its a right rag-tag bunch of gambles! but then again i'd say that both Rovers and Hull have done better with unknowns than big names over the last decade.

Not sure why I'm posting this (it reminds me a bit of this forum), but the aussies weren't too keen on rlTalanoarl last year, it seems.

Appears to be only sply used though so I am not sure this counts as evidence.

The recruitment has been shat this year apart from paea

Thompson - average
feka - big risk
biggs - high risk, too old and will miss half of the season
tuson - same as Thompson
mcgoldrick - what does he offer?
talanoa - playing 3rd grad RU and not very well
some no name half back as well possibly

Really gone backwards compared to some of the other clubs we'll be trying to compete with next year

AP just said" Agreed terms with young Aussie halfback" awaiting visa clearance - same with Talanoa.

Why are we signing pot aussie halfbacks who no one as heard off cant get games or clubs in the NRL so they will go bum a wage in SL!!! theres talent at lower clubs on these shores but get someone with a foreign accent there miles better!!! sound better in the media/interviews!!! pfffttt

Where has he said this?

Why don't you ask your buddy Radford?

I was hoping the poor recruitment would stop when mcrae and gentle left but clearly not.

Think we'll struggle to make the 8 next season

AP interviewed on Radio Blunderside,at a function at KC pal.On radio about 6pm tonight.

green eyed monster!

Big disapointted is the number of foreign players we will have next season.

Mcdonnell
New back
Miller
New Half
Paea
Heremia
Feka

We should be looking at reducing the number, not increasing it. I understand signing top overseas players, but some of these, Hull fans have slagged off Rovers for signings too many overseas players and we are just as bad.

Exactly we got 2 of 2013s biggest stars from this country and they become great players in Whitting & Brough. Broughy is class & Rich is our best signing for next season but i bet hes not on as much as Miller. If Miller is that good how come he didnt stay at wests for a spot with Benji leaving?

Would anyone else seriously consider Priestley the no. 7 for USA? Playing in American Rugby League. Hes impressed me every time. Just a thought.

You gave Jamie Ellis a whirl. Bradford gave Briggs a shot, Gareth Moore was at Wakefield for a bit iirc. Scott Murrell was a class apart according to championship watchers last year.
