The "applause " for Charnley is embarrasing. 5 games on loan does not constitute a Rovers career to be celebrated. The contrast on Friday will be the warm up reception given to Burns & Wilkin respectively. Indeed, if Burns has any sense he will run out & warm up next to Jon.

Most ex-players are well received at Rovers, unless they are in B&W (yes Paea I'm talking about you), but we can break that rule for someone as odious as Mr Burns.

Female voice ... "Rugby League is a family game. Please respect all players, supporters and match officials .... "(or words to that effect etc)

If it's a close game and Burns isn't playing well, he'll see red.
I'd imagine Charnley continues to get a positive reception due to the continuous rumours he's fallen our of favour @ Wigan and he's coming back to us.

Looks like he's got part-time work sorted whilst suspended?!

He is a Saints player, end of story.

Why?

Are we not allowed to talk about ex-players? Do we ignore topics about ex-players when fans of their new clubs ask about them?

Just want the rules clarifying

Tbf, if by professionalism he meant resource, the chairman himself has indicated that silverware remains a distant prospect. That we're not set up to challenge the hegemony of the richest clubs is hardly a startling or insulting comment.
And if by professionalism, he meant professionalism then discipline was acknowledged as an issue. Everybody at the club bears some responsibility for that - not least the captain, actually.

Aggressive terrier types are not really my thing, but I thought he was a good player for us. We got a fee, he got his longer contract - all easy enough to move on from.

Sorry, must learn to read, thought it was about his welcome back to CP not whether we talk about him. My mistake.

For me he gave 100% when he played the same way cockayne does burns caused problems in the dressing room allegedly cockayne caused a lot of problems for the club with his off field antics yet ones treated like a god and the other by the sounds of it is going to get a bad reception doesn't really make sense to me

I couldn’t care less if he is a club legend or just a bell end if by getting on his back gains us an advantage then all the better. He was ok for us but I think we fell apart organisationally on the pitch with him in the side. I have no axe to grind with him but he is fiery so lets use this to it upmost and slate him.

Personally I would have happily booed his every touch like a pantomime villain safe in the knowledge it wound him up a treat but for the fact we've signed 2 far superior half backs, not bothered whether he plays or not now
