Very good signing. Few very good players won't make the 17 when all fit. Nice mix of youth and experience and generally beefed up the pack.. Could be a decent season ahead

Looking forward to seeing him in Rovers colours. Wouldn't mind an extra prop coming in but hopefully Greenwood and Johnson step up.

We need another half, but until I see any signing confirmed I will not believe it. The club does play it,s cards close to it,s chest, but I have heard and seen too many rumours that fell flat. Lets wait and see, but time is running out. Here,s hoping.

You must have likeme seen loads of players signed late some has the season started Gordon smith for one is first game was the derby and he had only been at the club 48 hrs but won an of the match so do not worry about time

Deal done.. what a great set of signings by The Rovers. Merry Christmas to all Lots of seething over at City's ground

I think it is reasonable to think that the signing of Drinkwater, following on from Garbutt, Linnett, Lannon, Keinhorst & Hauraki ...Rovers have done good business this off season.

Always going to happen,glad they announced it before xmas,will join the squad january 2nd.Merry xmas to all.

hope he carries on last seasons form, much needed extra body in the halves, we are far stronger than last season so should be looking at sneaking into the top 8 rather than the jeopody we have had over the last few years,, very strong league next season though,

Confirmed.

One year deal - which could mean one of a few different things. A reluctance by one or both sides to commit for longer, most obviously.

Or perhaps a higher wage and an option in the club’s favour or a lower wage and an option in the player’s favour.

We look better for it on paper, and next season is always the most important.

Yes and I thought the club might have said option for a further year or more upto player and club seems a bit strange but then they have done the same with hall have they not

I get the Hall deal, but 6 and 7 should be longer term to become a strong pairing? Strange one really.

Maybe it will all come out in the wash LOL or maybe he is seeing if he itself likes hull

Agreed. Maybe we are the third team in for Widdop lol.

Stop talking about that it’s a secret no body is supposed to know LOL

I would welcome Widdop but expect our 2020 half backs to be Atkin and Drinkwater.
