You've got Hodgson, Cox, Lovegrove, Mika and your new signing.

Why would you keep Galea?

He's played really well this season and would still do a good job next year.

I don't see Hodgson's long term position as 2nd row, Cox still hasn't proved if he's gonna be good enough, Lovegrove is a prop. Other than that, I agree (sort of!).

The try Galea scored at Huddersfield is one that no-one else at the club could have, they need to learn from him how to run that type of line.

I'm not saying he hasn't but would you prefer to keep him for a year or sign Paterson for 2?

I think we have room for both. Even with Mika.

Really sad to see Ben go,he has been by far rovers best import since our return to the top flight I M O. That said i believe its the correct decision his body is obviously failing him, all the best Ben in whatever you do !posting.php?mode=reply&f=59&t=531800&tsmp=1341472087#

I am pleased for lovegrove he always tries is best and gives 100 ps

Totally agree regards Rhys now rovers have backed him he will get even better!

I am gutted bout Ben galea and I think if he could have carried on for the rest of the season he may have been offered another year.

Great news about Rhys, not so good about Ben. Been one of our better signings but i can see why Rovers offered a reduced salary, regular injuries creeping in. The signing of Paterson i feel gave scope for Rovers decision to not offer a new deal. Hope he gets another contract soon in S/L.

Surely there must be a couple of big signings due for next year? You've shed an absolute fortune in salaries since 2010.

i'd like to think so and with a couple more big earners leaving it must leave room for a big name, or are we shying away from them as such after some big names not living up to there billing/wages
