I'd start watching a different sport fella, this ones not for you.

Admittedly Fitzhenry isn't up there with the Broadhurst's of this World and to be honest of the two you've highlighted Goulding was a good player before he came to us and Joe has had a decent career at NL1 level.

If Leroy Joe hadn't spent 90% of his time in Cumbria when he was supposed to be in Hull he might have actually been a good player for us! He will go down as one of the better Whitehaven players of recent years.

Bloody hell don't mention Leroy Joe and especially cumbria, 6500 rovers fans will think you have gone mental

Absolutely, I knew there was another bit to the story that I'd forgotten about.

Some players just don't fit, for whatever reason, others do better than you'd have thought.

Don't talk man. Fitz has for the last 3 months shown exactly what he is capable of. When I look back at some of the dross (sorry that's harsh, lets call them "triers"icon_wink.gif I paid to see in the lower leagues, its insulting to bracket any of today's squad with them.

Come back when you know what a decent RL players is FFS

I think the 'Mule' was aswell, on the odd dvd's I have seen him play over in the NRL.

Goodness, not seen you around here in a while!

Kidnapped any chat show hosts recently, Mr. Pumpkin?

Yep that was one of the biggets brain f@rts this club has made, Not THE biggest but it has to be up there in hindsight!!
Its strange cause as you say he had a huge rep but never fullfilled it.

Oh dear just because I have a different opinion to you the insults start. Watched home and away only missed Cas when I was on holiday. Were you at Cas last year when he played fullback, cast your mind back to that game. If you sign Australian imports then they should be at State of Origin level or better Sill Australian Test players , only these type of players will take Rovers to the next level. Fox is a better winger than Fitzhenry but he's not an australian so cant be as good. Not all things Australian are good.

So he plays well for 3 games what about the games over the last two years ?

To be fair to Roger Millward, we were well served in the backs at the time with the likes of Hallas, Sullivan, Watson, Bishop, Parker etc all matchwinners. But what we lacked was a big prop to play alongside Neibling. The Goulding signing made sence and he was never as bad as people make out.
In my opinion the bigger mistake was releasing Tony Botica and Colin Armstrong.

That was why I mentioned hindsight.
BTW I would put Austin over Hallas everytime but it all about opinions I suppose as Austin always had a touch of class Hallas was just big and fast with very little subtlety.
