Don't mean to derail thread but jason who????

Apparently Dave Halley has signed for you guys on a 2 year deal from 2012. He is just using Keighley as a stepping stone to get some match practice after his injury.

He isn't any better than what we have already, just a different style of player. I suppose if we got rid of Colbon and played a style of rugby that didn't need wingers do most the drives early on in games then signing Halley might make sense.

Wouldn't be a bad signing to come in for Charlie. Would like to see us go after Broughton though.

Still got that T shirt with that written on?

If he brings his Argonauts you have cracked it.

Good shout that.

If its to replace cockayne i.e. full back/winger cover then fine with that.

I reckon Briscoe will be offered a deal to stay and im hearing that David Hodgson is not opposed to relocating back to his home town so unsure on the Halley link to be honest.

Hope Briscoe stays - Widnes must be interested, I'd have thought, with Webb and Greenshileds having confirmed they are staying put. Hodgson for Colbon, Halley for Cockayne? Would put Sheriff a bit too far away from the first team to be good for his development though.

Hodgson is a out and out left winger (though admittedly he has played FB on a few occasions). Signing him would mean Fox moving back to the right, where he has struggled massively for any kind of form. IMHO signing Hodgson as a replacement for Colbon makes no sense in terms of team balance and would be a signing for the sake of it.

For me Rovers need to secure Colbons signature as soon as possible.

According to Black and White we have signed Jason Netherton on a 3 year deal. ..............

Well we could re-sign everybody.............guaranteeing another season just like this one.

Changes HAVE to be made and the only scope is with out of contract players. The idea that Colbon is irreplaceable well I can't imagine many agree with that.

Where have i said Colbon is irreplaceable??

Fact is Colbon is far more comfortable on the right and is now showing the form he was when last played on the right for any length of time, he is also infinitely better than Halley. Unless Rovers have targeted a right winger letting Colbon go makes no sense at all.

Morgans crazy decision to swap his wingers resulted in both players losing their form big time. Prior to that they, along with Briscoe, were a very important part of the team structure and were incredibly good at what they did.
