Tommy Lee.

I'm sure there are some old Tommy Lee slagoffathon threads on here somewhere. Might pass some time on the long winter nights dredging them up.

i agree, although i rate fisher if you look 1 to 13 it is our weakest position. which can only be a good thing really when you look at the fact that fisher isn't cac.

I don't think the problem is Fisher's quality. I think we are short of a another player who can play 7 and 9 in SL. That also, of course, isn't a reflection on Dobson, more that if he or Fisher gets injured we don't have a specialist replacement. No disrespect to Spaven either, but he has never played SL (yet).

Lee can play 9, but probably isn't considered a SH anymore. I'd wonder why we let Kirk Netherton go if we ended up signing Lee. Matty Smith has looked okay, without being amazing, on the handful of occaisions I've seen him.

I quite like Diskin and felt he was unlucky to miss out on the WC, considering just about every other English Leeds player who was regularly in their 17 got to go. Can't quite believe Leeds would want to let him go or that he'd kb a testimonial, though.

Then if it happens lets hope he 'does a Briscoe'
Although with the obvious improvements in training techniques he will get that is bound to happen

Indeed. Not me usually, although Thorman and Agar are providing a stern test.

I like Tommy Lee, but he's one of those players who'd be more at home in a very good NL1 side than a SL side (which is why he's been OK for us this season ). Had some shockers last season, but has shown good attitude and application to come back from said slagoffathons last year. Better at hooker than SH for sure. Can do a job in the back row also. Like someone's said, though, why get rid of a homegrown player in Kirk Netherton to then sign Lee - doesn't make any sense.

I hope we get Halatua - international hooker who can cover other positions if necessary.

We have to keep pushing the envelope if we are to break into the top-two.

Halatau is gash, as are all the others mentioned aside from Diskin, (who will be the best British , game controlling hooker, in the world of Rugby League once Cunningham retires),

Anybody who doesnt think Rovers need to strengthen at hooker is a simpleton at best.., i love Fish and have done since he destroyed us whilst at Fax , however Ben is not, and never will be, a top class, international standard hooker, i think i could name 20 or 30 better playing on either side of the world (and none of the proposed signings are one of them)..

Rovers have had their best season in 20 + years, since the great side of 85/86, but are still some way off the top sides, (hope i`m proved wrong but i have yet to see Rovers do it in a game that counts at the top level, the play off semi should tell us)

If true Rovers fans really want to be back at the VERY TOP, i am afraid the Fishers, Dobsons, Welhams, aint ever gonna win any medals...they are good players but not top class...how good do Rovers want to be..??
