We'll be alright. Going in a bit of a different direction probably, running a tighter ship hopefully.

How many of those players do we think have been offering good value?

Galea, now he's back - but 34 next year. Taylor - but I'd be astonished if he wasn't here next year. McDonnell - recently, but in part because he apparently came over on less than generous terms to secure a better deal long term. Lovegrove - yes, in fairness.
Clinton - not really, though he's coming up the rails to pip O'Meley in the best expensive Australian prop signed by a Hull club for 2010 stakes. Webster - very decent player, served us well, but I'm content with the prospect of Sean Gleeson in this market and economic climate. Watts - might do it for Hull, fresh start and that but he'd gone stale for us. Wheeldon - never let us down, but hardly massively in demand.

I know we've had some decent form the last couple of months, and it's not unnatural that we've swung from 'not good enough, get rid' to Shannon McDonnell leaving being the first harbinger of the end of Rovers after 129 years. But I'm sure the club will make sensible choices. If there's a panic this year, and we don't join it then medium term we can benefit from that. Equally we could miss the boat, it's just a case of judging it. Like Poker... maybe.

I'm ace at poker, got a great face for it.

I beat Mike Smith online pretty much everyday.

MMMMmmmmm is this the same club that made the sensible choice of the player called Willie Mason by any chance?
And we all know what happened with that one....

so that rips into that optimism ...

irony and sarcasm don`t come over too well in print does it lol

I dont really understand the panic.

Lovegrove would be sad to lose but he is replaceable.
Lopini Paea is a miss but hes not the worlds greatest and only prop available.
Webster' time is up hopefully Clinton' is too.

Id be worried if we were losing Dobson/Green/Taylor/Hodgson

I trust and hope we get the players we want they do not have to be star names, just good players to join the good players we have English or any nation i don't care, in the past we have had players that people have said what you signed him for never heard of him, Gavin miller was one when i first so him i thought he was a monkey how wrong was i he got the man of steal so has i say lets trust in rovers

I always thought he looked more like a wart hog.

Why the panic ?

The 2013 season is 8 months away.

Unless a sugar daddy such as allam bails you out, you know it's coming.

Well its started even earlier this season...Gossip, hearsay, rumours and wind up merchants.
