Heard this one today (another rumour????) Gareth Carvell is to replace Paea!!!!!!! Don't know if anyone else has heard this one.

It's all over twitter that he is

Wouldn't be too disappointed if this turns out to be true. Always seems to take a bit of putting down whenever I've seen him play.

On the wrong side of 30 tho

And if we are signing. The silver brigade id sooner have zook ema back

Zook ema used to fall into tackles

another backward step if we do sign him and why would he want to come to rovers?

Has he actually played for wire this season last season and year before he was very good but we don't need another Ohara on the books simple as

Very true as much as i liked zook he didnt break many tackles oh well

Garreth Carvell? I hope not.
Too old, body failing, too dear. Not a good signing IMO.

Unless we are getting him for a bargain then NO, I would sooner take a punt on a championship forward who may make the grade than an expensive gamble who wont give us 40 min's a game. We do need an old head to go with the young forwards we have but they need to be able to give long stints on field Carvell wont give us that.

Be a excellent signing for any SL side for a year, but would be hesitant to offer him 2 years, still one of the best props in the league and has a recent good injury record.

Looking at the OOC. SL list their isn't much quality available.
