Enjoyed the HDM's take on it.

'I condemn the 'crimes' that Tomkins committed in the video, some of the language was downright vile and his actions cannot and never will be condoned.'
'Yes he's been beyond foolish, bringing shame on himself...'
True, but c'mon!
'I won't compare this incident to Albert Kelly's saga across the river...'
Least surprising journalistic/editorial decision ever! ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)

Minimum time wasted, I remembered the article well, you guys discussed it on here as he had a pop at some of your more critical fans, discussed the fantastic culture at Rovers and recruitment.
Obviously, bringing in a trouble causer like Tomkins into an excellent culture could be seen as risky. It's also a bit worrying that fellow Middle 8 side Toronto have an ability to bring in high calibre signings, and Rovers have to rely on Peacock's tiny list of contacts, or pick up players like Carney & Tomkins under abnormal circumstances.

Those are some different and more interesting points.
As was established through tireless repetition when the council underwrote the loan for our north stand, pretty much everything carries risk. Including, ironically, risk-avoidance or -minimization #FOMO.
Toronto are currently a well-resourced and ambitious club - good for them. We'll either stay up ('hurrah!') or go down ('ah well'). I doubt Peacock's list of contacts is an issue. I suspect it is actually fairly substantial, and even if it wasn't we enjoyed our best spell of recent times signing nearly all our players from one agent. Saying stuff like 'we've got a 5-year plan' to people you're offer a 2- or 3-year contract to is likely a bigger issue IMO.
You only got Kelly because of his repeated and escalating wazzockry, and a bit of light embarrassment and a little compromised integrity aside (with some honourable exceptions), it's mostly worked out well.

Having seen almost all of Toronto's games this season and last, there most consistant best players hav been players like Beswick, Kay, Paterson and QLT. I really dont rate any of the so called "high calabre" players on what i have seen.

Stanley, Simms, Lussick, Mccrone, O Brien and Russel are all very good players, all of those have had very good careers in either SL or the NRL, are most are at a good age and would look good in SL.
I think they are a big threat to any SL clubs who are in the middle 8's.
I think you will be OK, as I think Widnes are the ones who will drop out, Salford might also join them, but they have some good players if they start to play, just in poor form at the moment, still looked strong in spellls against us.
Think Rovers will be Ok if they get Mcguire and Lunt playing.
Tompkins is Ok, nothing special any more and I'd be more worried about his playing ability than off field matters, but he has to be an improvement on Chris Clarkson.

Simms o brien and Russel are average at best and I don’t buy into just because they have NRL experience they are automatically good Kris Keating played in a grand final and Dane Tilse played well over a 100 first grade games

The thing with the 8s is that they’re so brief that one slightly surprising result has a potentially massive impact on your chances. They’re very tough to predict across the crucial positions in mid-table. At least they offer some excitement after what’ll effectively have been a sixth month pre-season. As was last year in fairness, but the psychology of a promotion push is different to a relegation battle.
I feel a bit for Clarkson because he’s not a bad player at all. He’s just deeply unspectacular, and we’ve got about seven of him. Mind you, without so much middling depth, we’d have struggled to field a 17 some weeks this year.
