It was more to do with you suggesting you'd keep Clinton because you've seen worse players.

Let's be fair, most players have had a few better games than Crossman did. Even Lee Gomersall ... maybe not. Andreas Bauer wasn't the best of signings - esp as it was based purely on a few home videos or something (but needs must tho' then)

Clinton has had some good games for us. He's also had a few games where his attitude certainly has been questioned. With this questionable attitude ingrained within our fans, his good games are quickly erased. I doubt anyone would be too sad if/when he departs end of the season. He'll still need replacing tho'.

Again someone else reading something that isnt there, pretty sure if you read it again i havent once said keep him, i certainly would get rid- if you look back i was the 1st to start a thread about him not even wanting to be here, but it doesnt mean hes going unfortunately.
But he certainly isnt the worst weve had in SL imo. Thats what i was getting at. Hes had afew good games where you think if only he did that everyweek he would be class, where as i may be harsh here but i dont recall crossman having any game like that, he was just a pudding.

He can't be worse than James Goulding when you take into account who Goulding replaced can he?

Any coaching position would still likely be there for Galea if/when he decides that's his future. For now, he thinks he's got another year in him. Galea would be a very useful signing for a few clubs I'd imagine. Certainly as a stop gap for a year, if nothing else. You only have to look at Steve Menzies to see that age sometimes is no barrier to a quality player.

Please see the post above for what I've taken into account.

Feel free to use the ratio, anyone's allowed to use my ratio.

But Goulding would mean you would have to add an extra inflation variable into your salary figures due to how long ago he was at Rovers.

As for Ben Galea i'm a little torn over the issue because he clearly still has it but in the same breath he is picking up more and more injuries.

Crossman was a great player (if you wanted someone to drive the ball up the field a whole 1 metre).

Our worst signing (apart from the prominent jawed one) was a certain Mr Bishop, a man who thought he was god's gift to rugby league but clearly wasn't.

As for Ben, great player, but as I posted a while back, if he get's injured again this season, would unforunately become a liability and we should let him go. Real shame, and his ability and leadership is fantastic, but new blood is needed. That said, if his replacement is also 30+ I would question the reason for letting him go.

Mr Bishop was a good player. Maybe he was a Edit-AS but it doesn't take away from the fact that he was a good player.

Regarding James Goulding, How the hell could we let a strike centre like Austin leave for this pudding. Couldn't fathom it out then and still cant now.

Totally agree with you bishop, was good on the field, it was of the field were is problem's were if we had got him when he was a lot younger who knows what he would have been like has for goulding no comment would be my best comment

David Bishop was quality, just never fit enough. The players around him at Rovers weren't good enough,

James Goulding was the only pear shaped prop I've ever seen, he made David Hoskins look good lol.

B Words fail me...utter tripe of a post.

For those Bishop supporters out there, I've probably just turned bitter and twisted over the years so apologies. Was never as good a scrum half as say Harkin or Parker though IMHO.
