I agree with that,

Are you implying he's not SL standard?

Maloney has played about 6 SL games, Dowes has been a stalwart in our side since 2005 (the glory year

), he is not the problem, and I think we'd miss him the most if he was to get injured.

We cant afford to pack our team with 4 international quality props, which team has this at the moment?

All clubs need a Dowsey character, we just dont compliment his style of play with the rampaging type of prop forward that other teams have.

Has been poor for a couple of seasons and copped a bad injury last season......he knew he had dipped and went on that course so he knew he had to do something and it helped...unlike others who think its better to go in Parkers.

sorry dont know why i wrote super league; meant to say International

I just think he is a very average prop and i would have either him or cusack not both

Agree, I dont think we need both of them, although at the start of the season they were awesome, they just got burned out with poor interchange policy.

I think sometimes, because people dont see him break 100's of tackles, scatter defenders and make huge amount of yards, they think he's average. He's never been that sort of player, and thats not his role in the team. The role he's been given he's very good at.

its more the fact we have too many of that type of player though

Radford, Dowes, Cusack, Tickle, G Horne...all do the 'tackles all game' thing, but offer little in attack.

Strange one that........Tickle offers a lot in attack to me but is being overplayed.....runs some good angles but no bugger passes him it and at least he trys a off-load.

Maybe if we actually tried something with the ball, theyd be more efective? We know what Tickle can do, he's capable of running good angles etc, Cusacks legendary try vs Wigan from Dowsey's pass

. Radders shouldnt be at LF, Horne I dont think we need. All boils down to the crap coaching once again, however, i think Dowes should be way down the list of people to get rid of.

Heard a rumour that seems to be doing the rounds amongst Rovers and Bradford fans today.

According to them Raynor to Bradford at end of season and Fox to Hull.

How credible I dont know as I dont know these people from adam.

We need rid of the players who are causing a negative impact on the club off the field which some say tickle is.

another figment of bradfords fans imagination, and why would the dobbins let one of their best players go

Will not bre happening so that puts that one to bed
