I reckon we could be losing more money this year than last (£2m+), especially if another 3 home games are effectively lost to lockdown.

Money will be very tight, and contracts difficult to finalise, but, tbf, (nearly) all clubs are in the same boat.

I'll take that

the sooner he re signs the better

I had heard from a reliable source that he'd re-signed a while ago.
Didn't post anything for fear of looking foolish at the time but that tweet gives some credence to my information.

Really hope you're right. Just that in the past we've always got business done early and made announcements.

Apparently just sitting on the news, so hope my source is correct too.

Are you sure you would keep Fash? Every time I see him play I think he is below SL par. At least Matongo makes a few yards, I don't think I've seen Fash bust a tackle. I'm not being funny but the FC fans I know agree with me

I'm with Dave on Fash. He makes decent yards, never shirks a tackle and I'd be hard pushed to remember when he last dropped the ball. Much as I want Matongo to shine, for a big lad he really doesn't seem to punch his weight. Hopefully when he's fully fit and BH has had time to work with him we may see a different player.

matongo making yards ? on a bike maybe lol he`s not fit to lace brad fash`s boots, a total waste of cap space plays very few games makes very few meters off very few carries when he is fit and available . what % of games has he played in and made a positive impact on since last signing a contract ?

Brilliant hahaha got to love Rovers fans, yes Matongo would be a great signing for Rovers, but Radford wants him at Cas

Masi maybe off to Cas isn’t he?
Seems a nice kid so good luck to him. Deserves a bit of luck.

Out the two though you’d pick Fash, without a doubt.

Having watched Masimbaashe Matongo very early in his journey, I know why Radders may want him, I’ll agree he’s underperformed on his career with us so far, but he still only 25, his potential is massive, and just maybe this is one lad we should persevere with. He’s had a couple of set backs injury wise, and other issues.

I’d be inclined to invest a little longer in Massi, with Tag Big Chris, Liggi and Bowden, we can gradually introduce him, patiently in this one of the most demanding positions.

Fash made more metres this week than superstar Korbin Sims, off less carries aswell. 29 tackles to go with it, not a bad effort in comparison to Sims's 9 tackles.

Sims is atrocious.

Matongo will be lucky to get a game in the championship.

Matongo has spent hell of a lot of time injured , I'd be happy for him to go to Cas .

I honestly think unfortunately that Masi just isn’t going to make the grade. For me he’s just another Chris Green, has the size and physical attributes but just doesn’t have the aggression to go with it to run the ball in with purpose.

He’s had rotten luck with injuries but has also hardly played so sentiment aside as nice a guy as he is I wouldn’t be rushing to re sign him.

Simms is like his brother Aston,looks the part, very passionate but very average. Rovers will be playing top dollar for him when the likes of King and Fash are playing better than him.

FC making a fuss about him again on SM. Fingers crossed.

Not goof enough for super league doesn't run his weight

and he's 25 he's not a youngster anymore with huge injury baggage

Korbin is the Australian version of LMS

Without the metres made

Regarding the re signing of Jake after reading the article on the Hull FC website I would say whilst nothing is ever certain until announced. It does look very favourable that he will stay with him saying at the bottom of the article “Everyone is still learning and I want to keep heading in the right direction and I think I’m capable of that under a coach like Brett Hodgson.”

He’s a freakish player for sure. Reynolds said he’s only seen Benji with more skills.
He’s a gamebreaker as well, which is sometimes the difference between winning and losing.
Now and again he’ll make an error, but that goes with the territory.
Our SM team seems to be featuring him heavily so I wonder if an announcement will be made soon?

A knee injury and suspected broken jaw for Jake last night.

Not sure how long a broken jaw takes to recover from, I suspect that will be several (6+) weeks out of action for Jake now?

Wonder whether, like the FA, the RFL have an insurance policy that kicks in to cover a player’s wages if injured on representative duty?

Having watched the game back neither looked too serious. Connor himself seems to think he's OK. Hopefully good news in a day or two.
