Those wishing for Dixon to stay should think again IMO, he hasn't improved on any of his frailties so he's never going to be SL material, let him go.
Addy will play Loose forward so Clarkson can go to SR as a replacement for Greenwood if he goes, I'd prefer Greenwood to stay and put Clarkson on the bench though. If not, Frankie Mariano?
We're still light in the front row, so we need two more props (Cox?)
If we can keep Mantellatto and Shaw I would be very happy with our 3/4's. Just need an experienced Scrum Half (I'm worried that it might be Prince though).

A lot will depend on pass sales and that seems to be going positively so you will have some cap to play with, I'd expect you to leave a good chinch left for the middle 8's, you might be able to assemble a better team if you are not playing your halfs a 5th of your cap for not playing.

I've heard Greenwood has signed to stay which would be a massive boost.

So, in the last few posts we have discovered that Dave K knows:

The job description : objectives of both Jamie Peacock and Tom Sheens.

The salaries of both the aforementioned Rovers employees.

The collective salaries of our half backs for the 2016 season.

How did the palm reading go at Hull fair last week?

There's a long way to go, and I'm not for one second underestimating the challenges Rovers face!

First fragile green shoots, though, which after the calamity of the season just gone is something to enjoy.



The squad won't be as strong on paper as in 2016, but hopefully some lessons will have been learned. Those that come from failure are those that stick with you, IMO.

As you say in a later post, Greenwood signing would be a boost. Not building a backrow to try to break the record for the most people that can squeeze into Mini Cooper, would be good.

Like all on here, it's pretty much guess work, but it's obvious that most I've said won't be far off.

If you are after facts you are in the wrong place, one fact for you is, you don't even know your coaches name.

Oh please, let's not begin to talk about typo's, it won't end well for you.

A few points.

Rovers aren't in superleague. Dixon has scored for fun against championship teams and would do next year. He'll score sh@t loads for us next year if he stays. We need to be promoted first and he'd be a quality option in the championship.

Clarkson is s@it.....period end of. He'll get bullied even more in the championship. Awful rubbish.....what is he good at other than being less than average.

Mariano makes Campese look like the world's fittest man. Has he played 20 games in the past 3 seasons.....a shocking suggestion.

Cox.....holy $hit. Really. The rest of the RL pros seem to find him a joke. Tilse is 50 times the player than this clown. Cox wouldn't last 10 mins in the nrl.
Scruton and Clark seem to bring some grunt. The rest of the new recruits are underwhelming.

We need halves and a whole new back row. 4-5 of them. A centre and a full back or 2 and more props. Other than that job done.

The current squad is lacking in quality compared to the mess of a squad relegated last year.

Lunt, Blair, and Minns all quality. Juniors and Marsh have promise.

Best signing so far .....Sheens.

I agree with all that

I agree with both of you. Clarkson not as cods as you make out or as bad as Larroyer or Horne imo.

Can't see the video. Plug in not supported on my tablet.

PS. Liam Salter is cackamallabab

Sorry couldn't resist, you know I'm pretty accurate about the rest though

I've no idea what the video is or how I managed to add it to my post. Couldn't post a picture or a video if I tried.

I aren't happy calling Clarkson but he is awful. Until Larroyer got a run of horror injuries he was a decent player. Horne well. He can pass and step but his defence is poor.

Salter yes can't pass can't run other than that he's awful.
Money wasted on him and Clarkson for me.

I presume the video is Kieran Dixon's highlight reel, judging by the context. A bit surprised that you are softening on Cockayne as no mention.
