With Galea set to leave at the end of the year and the fact both Newton and Mason are the wrong side of 30 come the end of June we should be looking at having Taylor and Mariano as our back row with Watts and Lovegrove as our future starting props. We could have loaned Mariano out for a season, his wages were hardly a strain on our club considering he could have earnt more being a joiner!!'"
If Watts has any sense he'll leave Rovers at the end of his current contract for the NRL, its a no brainer. Also just out of interest what does Lovegrove bring to the table as starting prop??

Honest answer - yes... at least some of them. That said, it is good to see him doing well and I wouldn't be at all averse to seeing him come back. For his own sake though he should go where he'll continue getting a decent amount of game time.

At the minute he is bringing more intertest and physicality (SP) then most and he actually looks to make meters post contact.
Something we are seriously lacking by others in the side.

Don't disagree with that.
I know he's a fans favourite and i am not criticising him, but my point is where best to utilise him. In terms of technical ability he doesn't strike me as a starting prop. For me his play the balls are too slow and more often than not gets controlled in the collision, not really what you want early in the game. He makes the eyecatching yards and indeed averages at least 1 metre per carry more that any of the other props. But in terms of technique Vella, Watts, Wheeldon and Netherton who all find their front pretty well, generally get the team in a position to go forward more effectively. I suppose it all boils down to what you want as a coach, an extra metre per carry? or quicker PTB's. I know which i prefer though i appreciate it is all down to individual opinion.
Either way Rhys has his best years ahead of him and if used effectively he could carve out quite a career for himself.

As you say it all depends when you want the extra meterage.
TBH JM gets a lot of stick about playing players out of position but with Rhys playing at prop he has got it totally correct.

I'm sure Gekko will know better than me but Scott looked to have picked up a facial injury to me against Salford (nose i think). Maybe Morgan was giving him a week off to recover?

HOW on earth do you get NILLED at Wembley ?
When your coach isn't a winner at heart and Gentle is not a winner at heart .
We were a pub team
I coached for a long time and we won 95% of games because winning is a mental state driven by a desire to CRUSH an opposition. Did FC look as though they wanted to Crush Wigan and strangle them until they screamed ? NO
RL is a tough tough game and Maylord She-dong you have no clue

If that is the case then i would want to know why our Head Coach isnt giving players a reason for their non-selection.
On the other hand there is a possiblility that the player was informed of the coaches reasons but didnt want to share them with fans/friends. Only speculating.

or the other option that his facial/head injury meant he couldn't remember being told he was dropped!!

Or perhaps the bang on the head resulted in him forgetting he had actually been selected to play. The most logical reason i have seen so far for Sam Latus having to feature in the pack.

TBF i thought Sam Latus did a good job for us on Saturday, took the ball up well and probably made more yards than Mason
