Plenty of negativity towards the signing of Tommy Lee but the signing of Walne adds depth and competition to the front row.

I'm a little concerned over the remark Hudge made (4-5 signings, in addition to Maguire) so that leaves either NONE or ONE more!

The signing of Walne adds a lightweight underperforming nobody who is simply not Super League quality.

Tommy Lee is a half decent player.

Looks like we're shopping in the bargain basement again.

I very much doubt he includes Dagger. So by my reckoning that’s Walne and Lee with at least 2-3 earmarked at the World Cup. Seeing that we cruised the middle 8’s I’m happy with where we are. The less said about some “fans” replies to the club announcement on Social media the better. Lee Richardson correct in his verdict of them.

...or adding squad depth whilst, freeing quota places and leaving plenty of cap space.
I don't like Lee at all but..Lunt gets injured. Lawler is no hooker over the long term meaning Jubb carries that load in our return to Superleague. No chance.

I'm guessing but replacements for Clark and now Clay seem lined up from overseas. Lee and Walne add cheap cover to the squad depth.
My guess is Sheens will target games next season as he did this so will look to rotate a bit.
I'm hoping on another pivot and some big back rowers.

Me I am not keen on lee but when we went down the main problem was beside the coaching was we did not have proper back up when we came back up we had proper back up players like lee will be good back ups Lunt will not go the full season without a rest or get himself injured so now we wait and see after the world cup witch end in December so plenty of time

Solid squad signings to add depth and free up quota/non-fed spots.

To all those un believers when i put on here you had signed him , KNOCK ON TOMMY hehehehehehehe

The frenzy this has caused amongst Rovers fans on twitter is hilarious.

Just got to wait & evaluate recruitment as a whole. As others have said, signing these two jokers may free up cap / non-fed places for some big names.

My old media sources indicate that it is mostly misogyny, Russian bots, and orange autocrats on twitter these days. Provides a new home for the comments you used to get beneath HDM stories, I suppose.

I can't understand why anybody would be upset by this. Slightly disappointed, fair enough, but aggrieved - c'mon?

I mean, people will turn out in the pouring rain to celebrate a 50-0 defeat in our biggest game for a generation (and fair play to them), but sign Tommy Lee and others are distraught. People are funny.

We at Hull Fc were the same when we signed Danny Washbrook.
Tommy Lee has been signed to do exactly what Washbrook added to Hull FC.
100% player.I dont think he will disappoint at HKR

That's exactly what I was thinking plus castleford have signed two players we didn't want I don't hear there fans moaning like some of ours are and there in a lot better position then we are

What some fans need to do is get of twitter for a wile and get real the players we have just signed are going to be back ups when we went down it was because we did not have back up players when we got injures so we were in the s**t so this time it looks like that is what they are doing for gods sake wait till after the world cup if we have not got better players then moan

The difference being that Hull & Cas both have decent players in their squads too.

The thing is, as well, that people get so excited about the next big thing, coming through from the academy.

Most of them won't have half the career that Lee or Washbrook have had - but y'know if they work hard and avoid serious injury, then they too might be in a position to attract poop on social media in their late 20s or early 30s.

I just think that as Rovers fans we have been through a lot in the last couple of years - and this what pushes people over the edge?
