Ha! Excellent, we've had so many rubbish players, it makes us uniquely qualified to recognise a rubbish player when we see one!

And the good ones stand out like a sore thumb that other teams see them as well, so we don't tend to keep hold of them.

I still have memories of singing Sully must stay (Anthony) and a certain Saints halfback leaving us early in his career.

Back on topic. We must keep Lunt and Blair above all else.

Everyone of clubs that move ground start remembering there old ground as this great thing I liked the old craven park from what I remember but when I see photos of it now I just think God what a dump same as the willows the boulevard etc

I agree with you about tilse rubbish is the word I would use and I do not no how long you have been going to rovers but I bet with my 55 yrs plus I have seen more crap then you

Think most have said the same as I think although I'd actively move Sio on. Great player but is winger really a position we would want a high paid o/seas player in. Josh is probably cheaper so I'd keep him.

Campese is a must go, he was crap on Saturday and that 5th tackle penalty was one of the key points that lost us the game. His kicking at the end was dumb beyond belief from a player with his experience.
Kelly, Tilse, Horne, Larroyer, clarkson, Cockayne, Boudebza Allgood all have to go.

Build around the rest, Lunt, Greenwood and Blair to top the list of get them signed now.

Not far off. I would expect Tilse and Big Josh to go with the wage bill to at least halve. Add to your list Salter, Moran and Cator. I would still like us to go for Scruton and Clark, not fussed about Addy. I would expect Marsh to be a starting half back, haven’t a clue for scrum half at the minute. We need to try and keep Blair, Lunt, Greenwood, Minns and Walker.

With honest Adam's comments in the HDM about us, we could also put a cheeky season loan bid in for Jack Logan and Hadley who won't get much game time next year.

forget that one you cant have them

My choice would be very similar with just a few alterations;

1. Oakes (Bit left wing but he played Full Back for Eastmoor and there is a clip of him playing v Hull on you tube as an FB and he looks useful and assured)
2. Shaw
3. Wardill
4. Minns
5. Dixon
6. UNSURE with Marsh as back up.
7. UNSURE
8. Walker

We need to decent halfs and we will combat any team in the championship, the question is what 2 are available and will join a championship club?

The boulevard was a palace compared to the old CP which even had an old railway box cart in it if my memory serves me correctly. Used to be a great atmosphere in there though as it was very compact and enclosed and I well remember the day casey threw away his international captaincy there. I was also there for the final game (widnes?) and the first game at the new ground (trafford borough?).

I even pulled my boots on and played at the old place

I think you're all being a bit deluded here. I'd doubt very much that there will be any player loyalty and anyone who can get a SL contract for next year will be off. agents will be sniffing out another payday. Walker already agreed a contract with hudds and greenwood off to join his brother if rumours are to be believed

Rumours don't pay mortgages, contracts do however. Rovers best hope that most clubs have already spent most of their budget already otherwise our few decent players will be picked over.

We need to prioritise our spend on the youngsters.

Don't quite agree. That was Sandercock's remit. That marked the start of our decline. Give some youngsters a chance, but if we're serious about promotion. We need some serious players.

If it was me I would stay, they helped make the drop happen I'd want to play the part in putting you back up, loyalty should be involved they was paid good wages this season & played rubbish, you was loyal paying to watch them, loyallty lies off field why not on it.

Ive said this myself. And Hudge quoted the same. The players who are asked to stay, have a moral obligation to repair the damage they have brought to the club. After all, they won't be on peanuts.
