Jim Gannon has gone on to Captain one of the best NL teams.
Danny Ward was a scapegoat on many occasions for not being the cannon ball he was at Leeds and not doing what his dad did (just like Millsy gets).

And if its a minority that thought he didnt do enough in his first season that minority includes Morgan! Mills is unfortunate that he was given such a big frame, he does pretty much the same as what Jason Netherton does, safe in defence a simple drive forward yet we always say how much we miss Netherton when he doesnt play! Half a foot shorter a couple of kg lighter he wouldn't get this criticism!

Nick,
Mills is nowhere near as good defensively as Nevo

if you look on wikipedia it says hes signed for South Wales Scorpions? is this so?

rlDavid Mills Profilerl

how did the pudding get the nickname the beast

Dont know when Millsy slept with Morgans

whenever morgan wasn't in!!!!!!!

Still no news on wether Millsy will be loaned out?

Nope. You'd assume he'd want some game time to put himself in the shop window for a NL contract next year. We can't and shouldn't expect anybody in the lower divisions to contribute more than a token amount to his wage - and we gain nowt by letting him rot in the stands. If someone offered him a month, Rovers should allow him that opportunity IMO.

I agree. I feel a bit sorry for the bloke TBH. It must be hard watching from the sidelines week after week.

Christ knows why you're so desperate to get him, it'll take more than one of your, ahem, "Special Products" to liven the buggah up into perhaps breaking a tackle.



He's supposedly had plenty of chances to sling his hook, including apparently to go to Crusaders in the off season. Fair enough, it'd have been on a reduced contract to the one he's currently on at Rovers but if he'd actually got his finger out and played somewhere near to how he did in his first season at Rovers they might have been stupid enough to offer him another full time deal for 2011. As it is, he's spent two years of a very time limited career doing nothing and he'll be lucky to end up at Hunslet Hawks (no offence intended) earning fifty Queens a week with a pork pie win bonus.

It's his own fault.

Would you take a cut in your wage, in exchange for the chance to do more work?
He'd be foolish to walk away for a poorer contract - as you say it is a short career. We're foolish if we expect him to sling his hook without compensation. If we weren't willing to make up the difference on what Crusaders were offering, that is our own fault. With hindsight.

The situation with Mills really is an odd one. He hasnt featured at all even for the under 20s since pre-season and if we believe what we read in the rugby press he has turned down opportunities to go out on loan. It isnt a great recipe for him earning a new contract somewhere else next season.
I feel sorry for him but if he wants to prolong his career beyond this season then he needs to put himself in the shop window and at face value it doesnt seem like he is that fussed.

I don;t Desperately want him back at widnes,we have far better forwards than mills at the club at present and i want our younger players to have there chance now.Looks like Mills will just retire from the game with reading these comments on here.
