Just read your rant back and tell me honestly you don't feel a bit of a tit.
You say we're all meant to be supporters, exactly, that's why I come on here, to read about Rovers not to be given a penny lecture by the PC brigade, who if they insist on doing so could at least have the decency to post their own views instead of some halfd cut and paste job from a dodgy online 'encyclopaedia '

It's about as wrong as the French referring to us as "les rosbifs", you dafty sausage.



I think it was (in it's loosest sense) a debate.

Wonder where Martin Kennedy's going?

Attempting to get this thread back on track. . .

My amended starting 17 (for the opener) based on the squad we know:

1 Josh Mantellato
2 Kenny Sio
3 Darrell Goulding
4 Ben Cockayne
5 Kieron Dixon
6 Maurice Blair
7 Albert Kelly
8 Mick Weyman
9 Keal Carlile
10 Adam Walker
11 Kev Larroyer
12 Tyrone McCarthy
13 Jamie Donaldson

Bench: Ryan Bailey, James Green, John Boudebza, Jordan Cox

NB: Graeme Horne unlucky not to make the 17 – I’ve gone for size and bulk - and selected Josh Mantellato at full back based on his performances for Italy

Have to say the depth of SL experience in the squad is thin, mind you it was deep last season and look where it ended up!

Cockayne at centre? Why? I had the "pleasure" of witnessing his performance there at The Stoop in 2008 when Jake Webster was withdrawn late, he was a nightmare and should never play there again.

Salter needs to be played there, he will be worth it in the long run.

I don't like Charlie at full back, tried to accommodate him, and have reservations about Liam Salter; good defender but lacks an attacking edge, his played:tries ratio is appalling for a centre.

Did decent enough on the wing for Wakefield, if starting in our line up, why not there. Looks like we have versatile players in the buckling who can switch position. Personally, I would have him on the bench covering at hooker and back line.

Agree with all that ^

The only thing worse than Cockayne at centre would be Cockayne at hooker. Do you not remember his attempts to play there under Morgan? His dummy half passing was akin to clay pigeon shooting.

He's a winger who can cover at full back.

Think you're being a bit selective Stan. Cockayne had to fill in at centre one season (2010?) when Webster got injured & he was very good. Probably the longest run he had in one position since 2007 & one of his best seasons for us imo.

Having said that I don't think he'll be playing centre next season.

I agree passing is the weakest part of bens game,no timing at all,just tends to throw it in the general direction and hope,would be no good at hooker IMO.

i like the way any player at any club can be turned into a hooker(well according to said clubs fans) it doesnt happen with any other position

We get a star hooker and you only need cover for 10 mins.
