He still looks very nervous and unsure when dealing with any kick through towards the line, be it high or a grubber. Seems both our wingers are low on confidence in this respect of the game.

I do think Colbon has been good since he came back tho', his running out from our half has been very good and he's found the try line a fair bit its just he has at least one head fart a game and gifts a try.

Think we should sign him up,wigan had used him as a 2nd row for quite a while the season before we signed him and it strikes me the ground he makes at ist man,he may be worth a try at 2nd row which would take the pressure off his catching of high balls.!

No chance I hope he's had a very poor season in fact since he broke his jaw he isn't the player he was . Despite scoring today one permformance shouldn't earn him a contract. He's got to go

The bringer of doom strikes again!!

Colbon is out of contract and therefore I expect him to leave. However, there is no point in showing him the door unless a better replacement is already lined up. This goes for any of the OOC players, Rovers have to replace with equivalent or better if they are to improve next season. Apart from the obvious error yesterday, I though he had a decent game, he certainly knows how to finish when given an opportunity.

What's the status with the on-trial winger (Williams?).

Im not gonna say everythings hunky dory again when it isn't nor will I drink justins bath water. I take offence at being called a grim reaper

Where has anyone called you a grim reaper?

I'm sure you have been called worse!

Events away from the field have likely improved his prospects of a new deal, even more than his hat-trick.

Next year I'd like to see in the 17...

FB - Briscoe (Sheriff)
W - 3 of Fox, Colbon/Hodgson/Halley/Gardner/Ainscough, (Latus), competing for 2 spots
C - 2 of Welham, Webster, Hall, (Salter)

Fair enough I apologise but I'm not bringer of doom I read this board for 5 years before joining and fully supporting the club, the past two results have given the squad confidence and foxy is one of those who really needed that, like any spoting tean freshing up the squad is good for club and moving players on. Some hard descion need to be made

I agree mate, there is a need to move some players on to create space for fresh blood. I worry that the ongoing situation with the coach (is he staying or moving on?) is delaying the contract & recruitment far too long. The "Galea/Vella/Fisher" situation is the key to all of this. I think we should keep 1 and lose 2, but I'm expecting all 3 to stay.

He is definateley leaving rumour Harlequins

Gardner looked good in a great team would be poor with us.
Ainscough looked rubbish in a good team and can't see why we'd want him, he's been tried at a number of clubs and not done well.
Latus just hasn't got the size or pace to be a top flight SL winger.
Hall I'm afraid isn't anywhere near as good as Welham or Webster, good for injury cover but no more than that.

True, Colbon would score a bag ful in a firing Saints side.

Would like to see him move in to the pack, got a very strong carry.
