Being cynical... it's easier to prove head knocks = brain damage than it is that playing multiple times in a short space of time results in long term injury.

Just guessing though!

But we are talking about the rfl are we not come on give them a chance lol

Did anyone else watch the Catalan v Wigan game and think that John Bateman threw his head at the floor on purpose when he was lifted over the horizontal?
I know players try to force the refs to make a decision but this is going too far haha.

I just heard a rumour Catalans have signed Trent Hopkinson just waiting for a visa... not sure if it’s true but if it is it makes me think that the reason we can’t sign a half back is because we won’t pay the right money

Or you could ask Where would you rather play? South of France or Hull?

The same Trent Hodkinson that's named at 6 this week for the Sharks? He won't be going anywhere fast I wouldn't have thought

Can’t be true then ........ if it stays like this I’d be asking McGuire to get burrows to come out of retirement

Ha ha good idea

Hopkinson & Burrows would make a fantastic partnership.

Keinhorst signed for Widnes for a month .
How the hell did we miss out on him. I would have thought Peacock would have bagged us him . Probably too busy running his coaching camps , motivational speeches and working in the media .......

We don't really need an outside back on loan for a month do we

I’ve been less than impressed with Peacock’s acumen as DoR. Keinhorst is by no means a bad player, but signing him would do nowt to change my view. Not what we need currently. I’m sure Peacock’s wage reflects the time he puts in, and the more rugby decisions that are made by Sheens, the better I like it.

I know you’re no getting an awful lot of traction, btw, but If you’re angry about everything, then pretty soon the effect is diluted rather than added to.

OT, where do folks think Gilmore and Mellor sit in the first choice halfback hierarchy in the northern hemisphere? I know they’re playing in a busted team, but they really don’t offer much, imo. That’s them both scoring hat-tricks in the MPG against us then!

Or a 92kg second rower!

go and ask him hes at the stadium most days , how would anybody on here know?

The Pocket Rocket was my favourite “ other teams “ player. Great servant to Leeds , would have loved to see him play for Rovers .
Retired at 35 after winning the treble with the Rhinos , and retired with respect and dignity .
Unlike Peacock who was part of that Same side but had to lace up his boots to try to save Rovers from relegation after stating we never needed to recruit .
