I honestly can't believe the Prince rumours, you be better off keeping Campese.
I'd also look to a couple of young Hull players, either on loan or to sign them.'"
Lunt behind a Good pack would be one of the best hookers in SL. As with most hookers playing off the back foot will make them look worse than they are. It was only 12 months ago your man of steel wasn't regarded as good enough for even your 8th placed team according to a few of your fan base.
Josh Hodgson looked no more than good for us, he's now a stand out in the NRL.

Halves are no surprise.
Sio has a young family to look after & was always likely to leave.
Blair is late in his career & strikes me as pretty loyal...gut feeling he might stay.
Walker will have options but we stuck by him before & during his court case...think he might also show some loyalty.
Greenwood has impressed & might be harder to keep hold of.

Those fans were clowns, last year I had loads of arguments with fans about Houghton, in reality he hasn't played much better this year, just had better players around him to make him look better, always been a great player and our most important player.
I like Lunt, but don't think he would start for any of this seasons top 4.

Heard the same as me, Wakey and one more looking at Greenwood.
Blair to Salford.
Although I think I'd rather stay at Rovers than sign for Wakey or Salford.
I suppose it depends on what Rovers can offer.
It would be a travesty for Sio to play in the championship, think he was always going back to the NRL irrelevant of Rovers being in SL

| Kenneth staying wouldn't be a travesty, but it won't happen so you don't need to worry.
Walker will go, and fair play he should.
Blair signed for Salford months ago didn't he?
I'm not all that glad that you're staying at Rovers Dave, preferred it when you where in Thailand.

I agree Houghton hasn't been much different and still lacks a quality passing game or picking the right option that great hooked do. Makes up for it in spades with grit and hard work but still wouldn't get in a top side. Lunt won a grand final a couple of years ago so can't be that bad.

| Hdge stated positive news in next few days. He could hinted that it would involve at least one if: Blair, Cockayne and/or Campese. Bet it's just Charlie...
If Campese took a pay cut I'd keep him 1 more year. Look at Ellis at Hull. Was injury prone and crap for first season or two. He's had a great year this year.
Really need Blair to stay. We need a much bigger (not taller) and aggresive pack next year and Blair to guide them.
The championship will be a lot slower than SL with a lot of hokding down, slow play the balls etc. Smart play makers, fast backs and powerful line breaking forwards are whats needed. But then again, we needed those in SL. We nearly had the playmakers and backs (apart from injury) but the forwards were pretty useless. Josh and Ken made more meters up the middle than the forwards last season.

So did I, won't be too long until I'm back in Asia I hope.

Ryan Bailey has about 5, as said he is a good hooker, not a great one though, just lacks something and the reason he isn't at a top club

Ellis has never been crap at Hull, been great if all seasons at Hull, a little bit injury prone but sure he has played an average of 20 games a season though, so not a great comparison.
With the right signings I think you will be back the year after next and probably replace Salford, so if I was Blair I'd stay for one more season at Rovers rather than sign for Salford.

What he lacks is humility, he does not take constructive criticism well. If he won't listen to advice about his game from coaches he will never make the improvements he needs to be top class.
