Taylors 5 year deal, Carlos' 4 year deal, Houghton activating his own extension, lanes 3 year deal, shauls 3 year deal...been some shockers in recent time. Nothing can ever beat the announcement of Agars contract extension with us on April fools day though

Lane is another one which has been a huge mistake, rewarding mediocrity, he showed promise at first but I wouldn’t ever say he was exceptional to warrant a 3 year deal.

Moving back on topic. Still think we can put a decent 17 out. I think it's gonna be closer than people think. Mind you bookers have Dobbins red hot fav. But then I do like going in as underdogs when even some of our own supporters have written us off

I wouldn’t class it as writing us off, I’d just class it as being realistic. Their squad is stronger than ours and last time out at home they beat us 40-0 at our place.

Can't just keep paying players off, we probably can't afford it and it sends out the wrong message, sign for Hull, don't perform, get a nice big pay off.

Only way to move Carlos on is if he himself decides his body has had enough....don't hold your breath

How does that work with the salary cap?

like i said to you several days ago we all hope and pray but there is a real mismatch on the wing in fact the whole of the backline.
Just cant see where our points will come from
Hoy is nowhere near good enough as a six so this is a weak area also.
Love to be wrong

We end up with one less player and the same money spent!
A no brainer now I think of it.

We get points up the middle in my opinion. Rovers forward pack isn't their strong point. We need people on the shoulder of Pele, Ese, Sao, everytime they carry the ball. They all like to get their arm free and against a lighter pack I suspect they will get a few chances. Having said that Rovers are good at getting men in the tackle and slowing things down. But we will struggle to go round them, going to have to go through them with a good offload game and strong support play.

The good news keeps on coming, Tindall had surgery on his thumb and trueman looking at May

I remember when we won the last floodlight trophy. Rovers where star studded. Our back line consisted of a full back who nobody would sign due to him being a hot head. A winger who had flat feet. A centre who we signed from Rovers who was in his mid 30s and really was slow. The other centre I believe we signed from a lower division?. A winger who we got from fev. And the oldest halfback pairing I remember. A right motley back division . But we tonked em. Always believe we can do it.

So as with last season he's likely to miss the first ten rounds of Super League. Unfortunately this year he'll also miss the start of the Challenge Cup so we have to hope we cope better without him than we did in 2023.
