plenty of ways around the cap though isn't there.

Unless a coach is there for a significant amount of time he wont get the team he wants. The fact is another coach took this team to 6th and a final whilst apparently being mickey poor along the way.

If you people to take you serious and answer your posts with sensible debate (which to be fair mine was, although slightly off topic with the Rovers comment) you need to stop acting like a d##k 99% of the time on here.

There are few Rovers posters, who you can discuss rugby with like Mild Rover, Bishop and even RP (although he is unbelievable biased against Hull), unfortunately you are not one of them.

What classes as a significant amount of time?

You would be looking at 3+ years with 3 years being the average contract nowadays. But you would still have some players who were on longer deals.

Difficult to get them to go

At least you'll be free of McDonnell in the next week or so

Think that's what's allowed you to do a deal with Carvell

Their posting are becoming increasingly desperate though - imagine being so desperate you end up trying to put a negative spin on swapping carvell for pitts

I was told our recruitment was massively hampered by this. mcdonnell, paea and the milky bar kid on way too much along with arundell, pitts and thompson, although they're at a lower level

Stupid in relation to their ability, although an australian accent added a significant chunk

But if radford doesn't rate him and sees no potential in him , why would he play him and risk his own job .not every coach rate the same players , down to opinions . Also as a lot people were saying last year , all our signings were through the same agent . Something dodgy maybe happened , especially after what deals what certain players got .

Pearson did state a while ago about some average players on high wages and would address this . But why would Miller & Thompson be on ridiculas money when they were both signed under Pearsons watch ?. He must sign the cheques.

I've heard he wanted to come back before but the previous coach didn't want him. Suppose that figures with Gentle wanting more athletic forwards. I would welcome back though, injuries permitting he still has a couple of years to give and the youngsters would benefit from his experience

Why , we're have I said what he's earning ? He's on a lot more money then he was on at Cas and stupid length of deal , instead of having incentive type of contract

Sad to see Carvell leave in the first place especially under those circumstancies , but will add more upfront for us . Good bit of business for us .

Paea !!
