I was just giving Sheldon a way of letting out his frustration at being 'Second best' for Aussie info, It must be hard to be our #1 for as long as I've been around only for a new guy to come in and be loved within days. He's handled it much better than Sam Tomkins would have.

It's ok I'm up in Newcastle this weekend, I'll nick his computer.

theres been comfortable with your own sexuality then theres roopys love for sinbad he is very good with his info though

Oh come, anyone who wouldn't love to have a player with the name Sinbad playing in their team, whatever their sexual orientation, would be a sad, soul less individual at best.
Even to the point where I think we should have a thread every close season speculating whether or not Sinbad was signing for us, it could replace the annual Fuifui Moimoi one which seems to have fizzled out in recent years.

I was one of Scott Murrells biggest fans a few seasons ago but I can't see him making anywhere near the number of appearances of the last few seasons, we have better, younger, quicker options now, not saying he still can't make a contribution when injuries permit but it's time to move on, the same goes for Jason Netherton, again a fantastic contribution over the years but we need to give younger players with potential a go and I'm fairly sure Sandercock will see it that way too.

I have a lot of time for both players, but must admit I sometimes wonder if it's because they've been at the club during our rise from NL1, and so I have a rose tinted view of them.
It will be interesting in both their cases to see what a totally new coach viewing the squad objectively makes of them.

My probables for the first SL game of 2012:

McDonnell
Hall, Webster, Welham, D Hodgson
Green, Dobson
O’Hara, Withers, Wheeldon
Cox, Galea (C)
Watts

Bench: Paea, Mika, J Hodgson, Taylor

I haven't included Clinton because I don't believe he will be staying at Rovers.
Lovegrove is unlucky to miss out but would be my 18th and Horne 19th.

Seem to be missing a winger?

5. Hodgson

Lovegrove is starting preseason as a 2nd rower / centre, if Sandy works on his defence i can see him excelling playing there.

I really hope Watts goes to 13 and i think he could be world class at 13; had a good game for the knights this weekend and it took 4 players to take him down in nearly every tackle (he started on the bench and came on front row)
Welham looked dangerous with ball in hand but didnt seem interested at all - not sure if hes just down about not been called up or just needs a decent rest.
Charnley learned alot from his days here and had a cracking game. Westwood stood head and shoulders above everyone mind.
