Hard to believe another prop with a possible season ending injury,Mitch Allgood may be back before the end of the season after a shoulder op.
Bring one in and lose another.after the injuries to O,Hara.Poore.Weyman etc it may br difficult to convince another prop to sign as there seems to be a jinx on that position playing for Rovers

how about another prop coming in to kr, he is playing in st george illawawa side at moment he is out of contract end of 2015 season and he is english, 6ft 1 prop age 26 played 1 game for england only scored 2 tries this season

Cooper?

roversmad yeah mate got told today that we are in talks to get him back over here in the next few weeks we will wait and see hey mate

Can't see why Cooper would want to leave the Dragons right now...& if he does he won't be short of offers.

If we're looking at a Dragons forward I could see us offering Ben Creagh a deal.

Who would you release to get him in?

To be honest Stan I don't really know where we stand with the quota / non-fed situation at the moment...or for next year.

If we can move for him Creagh just looks a good fit to me.

Cooper is a brilliant forward

All spots are filled and all our overseas players are contracted to next season (min), so unless the "Kelly back to nrl" rumours come to fruition, we won't have any wriggle room.

If Kelly does go, I'd expect the overseas spot to be used on a replacement 7 (or perhaps a 9).

The word on social media manly have dropped interest in Kelly

Well that would be the best possible outcome. Our shortcomings in the front row need solving closer to home though. Whatever became of the Sidlow rumour? He looked a handful in the cup game.

Good.

If that's the case then Creagh's a non starter then. Pity, still missing something up front.

I think the Kelly to Manly thing is just lazy journalism. They'll have some serious cap available if DCE / Foran go. Plus Albert's off the cuff sytle game might not sit with the NRLs most short tempered coach

I've heard that we are signing someone from Newcastle Knights! .....I have absolutely no idea who this maybe and what position they are ......All I know is that the rumour mill is in overdrive! .......Josh Hodgson expressed that we love a good rumour just before he signed for the Canberra Raiders! ......Haha!

Clint Newton sat out last week's reserve grade game for no reason that I can see, and he is in good form playing lock for 70 or 80 minutes a game.
The only other "middle 3" guy I think will be looking for somewhere else soon is Sam Mataora. He signed from Canberra to Newcastle mid last season looking for a chance to play firstgrade, and he has been very good in reserve grade, but a few younger guys like Vaivai and Tapine have been better and he doesn't look like getting a game anytime soon.
The other outside chance is Zane Tetevano. He was a regular firstgrade prop last year till sacked because of domestic violence charges. His legal issues should be settled soon. They have been going on for about a year.
