Might be cheaper but it will still be tasteless urine.

A few bottled craft beers would go down well.

Quote: Marcus's Bicycle "How about getting behind Abdull? He's a very talented 20 year old kid making his way in the game who has the ability to be a top player. He's a Rovers player this season and he'll be trying his best to get you back in Super League so instead of writing him off before a competitive game has been played give him your support. Some of the comments about him on here are pathetic. If your so desperate to bag someone why not direct your ire at the remaining players who helped you get into this mess.'"
not everybody is happy about signing him , he has signed a 4 year deal with you so would be no good to us after this season anyway regardless,so whats the point he wont get us up alone from what ive seen,, you've got one of the biggest culprits that got us relegated so you give him it for us cheers

Quote: hull2524 "which players where the worst for softness and lack of interest last year? campese and Kelly hardly played so you cant say them,'"

In order of softness and disinterest, I would say:

Kelly, Larroyer, Horne, Dixon, Campese, Salter.

Quote: craig hkr "I was in minority on here when saying I don't think abdull is a good enough half for us.i still don't,but will hope to be proved wrong.we have to knock off a superleague team either over mini league or mpg. Ellis and Abdull whilst being good on paper at championship level don't look anywhere near strong enough versus SL pairings imo'"

abdul is young and improving. He has plenty of mistakes in him but also plenty of good stuff. He has a better skillset than ellis but is likely to be less consistent. I'd agree that as a pairing your halves aren't likely to be good enough to get you promoted but I'd guess that a new half part way through the season is probably on the cards.

Quote: SirStan "Harsh on Salter who sat almost all season with a bad shoulder injury. How's that soft or disinterested?'"

It's subjective I know but Salter is not soft defensively but totally soft offensively at SL level. In his case, it's not that he's disinterested, he just fails to deliver on necessary offensive capability because he hasn't really got any outstanding or intuitive offensive smarts in that centre position.

He's played a fair few first team games now and I am yet to see him live up to his expected offensive potential. Don't want to get hung up on semantics, but in this instance soft = unsavvy and disinterested = underperforming.

Fortunately for Thomas Minns, Liam Salter's injury last year gave him the opportunity for an extended run at right centre and Minnsies performance and scoring return there reinforced Salter's offensive shortcomings, enhanced Minnsies reputation and showcased his superior all round game and skilkset.

I am not a Salter fan, nor Horne either.

Quote: Hessle rover "You can say them two regardless of lack of game time!. Another who matches them descriptions has just started training for your mob.'"


Kelly was lazy when he played last season, Thornley was disinterested, Tilse lacked power (can't remember him EVER breaking a tackle and his so called offloads were hit and miss when he did them), Marsh was impatient as were many others and the whole team bombed chances to punish teams when the opposition made mistakes. Shall I go on?

Good post and for me Clarkson allgood green Horne (odd time fit)Kelly stunk for most part but when good was very good.i liked campo but was never fit.again tilse gets pelters but many more gave much less and evaded criticism. Had too many lightweight forwards and 3 big earners rarely played together. Minns was a positive Blair tried hard. We were not the worst team last year but Webster was a a very poor coach and for me was the pivotal bad decision in a list of bad decisions

Allgood wasn't bad and played injured but he was never good enough for to be a top earner, Campo looked ok when he first came back and lasted a game or 2 but was pitiful in the last few games, lacked any creativity and guile. Overall our kicking game last year was dreadful. Campo and Kelly (one or so 40-20 aside) didn't seem to understand how or when to put an attacking kick, a high bomb or a grubber in. Don't know if it was training or set plays that lacked but we just looked headless anywhere near the oppo line and with HB as coach that's disappointing.

For me Thornley, Green, Clarkson, Campo (when he played) and Kelly were lacking in either effort or application, Mantellato was clearly injured, Sio underused and Cockayne not good enough for the position he played. Add into that the decision to put Horne into centre in the last game and its a perfect storm.

In sio we probably had best right winger in league but all we used him for was exit sets.mantellato being injured large part of season was very costly And we would probably sneaked a couple more wins with him kicking. Comparing the outside backs to last year we do look to have bit more speed this time around Heffernan looked rapid and Moss certainly is.Quinlan Minns are Quick oakes/Butler flem iv not seen much of.add in salter cockayne Shaw and Hodgson and it looks very good.if our porky half's have quick hands and put it wide sharp we should see lots of long range try's?
