| Quote Big Dave T="Big Dave T"Well thats 4 or 5 of us he has told that to, wheres the rovers comeback?

Here.
I think most Rovers fans are not bothered one way or the other if he comes or not, lets face it he is a 'good' player not a 'great' player. If he comes he will be a good addition to the squad, nothing more. If we were talking about players of the calibre of Israel Falou or Greg Inglis, then I could get all excited, but for Craig Hall I honestly am not bothered either way.
The only ones of yours I think are really worth pushing the boat out for are Berrigan and possibly Carvell.

Not really the point being made though was it.

Yes he'd be a welcome addition to our squad, and there may have been 4 or 5 of you who've heard he wants to stay, but there's a damn sight more Rovers fans who won't lose any sleep either way.

Again nothing to do with the point being made from the statement that was quoted.

The point is - there is no comeback because we like the lad, but we're not that a*sed if he stays with you. Geddit?

| I'd like Hall to sign for Rovers, especially if what Zod about him counting as an academy player is true. If he doesn't, it'll hardly be a cause for wailing and gnashing of teeth though.

| Quote reddan="reddan"You may not regard Cooke as 'internationally class', but he was a huge part of an admittedly good hull side that reached a challenge cup final and grand final in the space of a year. Considering they're the only competitions that matter to SL clubs, I'd say we have at least one half back good enough for a side with trophy aspirations.'"
well its not just me, he isnt internationally capped, and personally i dont think he is in the same class as either Mcguire or Pryce who are a step above any other british stand off
Since the 2000 the winners of the GF have had an internationally capped Half back, stand off, and Hooker
2007 Burrow Mcguire Diskin
2006 Long Pryce Cunningham/Roby
2005 Deacon Harris Newton
2004 Burrow Mcguire Diskin
2003 Deacon Paul Lowes
2002 Long Sculthorpe Cunningham
2001 Paul Paul Lowes
2000 Long Martyn Cunningham (martyn ill accept only played for Ireland in the WC)
this is the quality you need at 6, 7 and 9, you dont have anywhere near it, maybe Cooke could do it if he was surrounded by a quality scrum half, quality loose and quality hooker, but he isnt,

I get that you are making a point that has nothing to do with what was being discussed yes.

He's a different player to those two, and whilst you're correct in-so-much as he hasn't shown the same level of consistency, on top form he's as good in his own way.
Completely agree with you about the other positions. Webbo is a good little player and so is Fisher, but to be consistently in the top four you eventually need better.
Considering most Rover's fans would love our club to make top 6 this year, but would be perfectly happy with top 8, I don't think we're being unrealistic about our squad's quality. It's very difficult to go from NL, to SL play-offs in two seasons, but I think we'll go closer than most.

Bet me a hundred pounds and I'll match ten for every quid that he IS NOT going to sign for KR but will stay at FC.
