Why what do you know about him? |

Much rather see Lauaki running wide at defences, and with his handling skills, he could be a real threat. We definately didn;t see the best of him last year, but I think his attributes would make him more dangerous at 2nd row. Fitz on the other hand played as a prop last year. His tackling and taking the ball up is fantastic, and we need the bloke playing down the middle in the thick of it. |

Would love to see us finish in the top four next season but don't think we're quite strong enough. Hand on heart, can you honestly say that we have a better squad than Leeds, Saints, Warrington and Wigan? My own humble opinion is that the answer to that is no. However, nothing would please me more than to be proven wrong come the end of the season.

I guess the idea of holding back a quota spot and some salary cap space just in case doesn't work now visas take much longer to come through. Sods' law says you'll sign Rovelli, Long'll be ever-present and you'll end up short of props.

true, but maybe you're forgetting about the likelihood horne picks up an injury too. rovelli will definately be needed next season IMO
regarding props, we'll be shagged if o'meley or moa pick up a long-term injury |

The thing is we have never held back a quota spot, we only found out recently Berrigan could come off the quota. It's not like we have had it available all season. |

And Yeaman, Long (never fit), Radford, Hame and Washbrook.
Also we dont know how Berro will get on at for a full season. |

I was suggesting it as a plan - because of the way things have panned out your options are more limited than you'd like, so wait and see would be a good idea IMO. Except visas take so long now.
Rovelli is probably the more important signing - can he play hooker btw? Westerman might be the better signing long-term, but the squad would look just as strong for 2011 with the addition of a workmanlike prop IMO. Fitzgibbon and Lauaki would do a job, but as Rovers supporter I'd prefer to see them lining up there than in the back row, as IMO you'd be slightly wasting them. |
