you cannot sign star halfbacks for backup the other alternative would have been a overweight ,unfit abdull on 4x the salary

Braced for Jenna Brooks to give the Asi link the kiss of death tonight

Or you use your young players for back up.

Precisely..
I am surprised why Harman or Medforth haven't been selected and move Smith to 9.

I was talking about Rovers, think we have done enough this season, don't think the club think either of those are good enough, don't expect those two, Hodgson or Armstrong to be here next season.

Not a fan or Grix, but I like what he said about Hutchinson and Westerman yesterday, very honest from someone who knows them better than all of us.

easy to do when your playing dead rubbers every week or your forced to because of terrible recruitment

Wigan, Saints and Warrington do

Campbell-Gillard leaving Parra, worth a marquee spot? Would be a huge presence in the dressing room, I imagine he'd get another NRL deal but would be an unbelievable signing if possible.

Maybe he'll follow Brad Arthur to Leeds

I’ve been a fan of Cobie Wainhouse for over a year
I still see him as a new signing at Prop and by mid season next year he could be a regular at 19 years old ?

He’s a big unit and a good rugby attitude

He said that the FC Academy ‘battered’ the dobbins academy last week lol

Wainhouse highly rated hopefully he can come in next season along with Armstrong in and around the squad. Both better than Laidlaw and probably Gardiner

Get your S&C right (instead of getting rid of half of them) and have a big hard preseason like Rovers did, (and a little luck) and maybe FC wouldn't have had to throw in as many young kids that aren't physically ready for SL. Instead Agent Smith decided to go against the grain and ease into the season,
Every cloud though, Moy looks a talent and Lewis Martin looks like he'll have a really good career, Charles looks far away from being SL ready though.
All in all your juniors are getting game time out of necessity rather than choice, poor recruitment and penny pinching have forced that on the club,

Just about agree with every thing you say, you have to admit though Rovers have fortunate this year, people say its down to SC etc, but Melbourne and Penrith have injuries, arecwe saying Rovers conditioning team and physio are better than those sides?

If you put Charles in a Wigan or Warrington side this year would you think he'd flourish?

I certainly do!
