Well we'd rather you relay information that is FACT to be honest. I could say Thurstons injury is a smokescreen because I'ved heard e's signing for us as a back up 7. Rumour is rumour and ill bet my last pound that anyone "in the know" at Rovers wouldnt tell all to anyone unless they want the sack.

According to the chap who told me it is fact, thats why i decided to forward the information on here, unless he has got it totaly wrong himself, but knowing who it is i would'nt expect him to say it with conviction if there wasn't any truth in it.
I guess we will just have to wait and see what is announced over the coming days and weeks.

No I'm quite knowledgable about my rugby and do watch a team in defence but the fact is he plays half a game ( on a good day) and offers very little in attack. Great defender I agree tho

With us only having 3 recognised props at the minute will we see Jordan Cox move to prop? And still think we could do with 2 more with match day squads usually consisting of 4 props, does anybody think we should make a move to try get Scott Taylor back or is there far to much water passed under that bridge? P,s before any fc fans start about him signing for them until it's confirmed I don't believe it

2 props needed, one Aussie and a really hungry lad from the championship would be good, Coxy needs to get as fit as he has ever been to start fulfilling his potential, gives us plenty of go forward but only in small stints, his defence needs a lot of work but I hope its his year! If Costigan were to go it would be a blow but as stated earlier it opens up another quota space. Heres hoping for some good news in the upcoming weeks. RRTR

Well as I'm too lazy to quote everyone's posts, I'll reply here and feel free to quote me back, some really interesting opinions posted lately.

For me "Seventies Red" has never come under the category of talking knackers, shares things, has the ear of someone, posts interesting potential information.

Costigan would be a loss. I watched him intently at last years World Cup. When PNG played NZ at Headingley he was the stand out player. I don't think he's hit those nights for us but his defence, anywhere, whether that be from marker, broken field, one on one or whatever is exceptional. If he goes, it's a loss. Hasn't looked happy in red and white though.

I think Cox is our second best defender after Costigan. He's an old skool leg tackler that needs to first in the contact with someone else wrapping the ball. Moving him to prop would be a waste. He is however to thick to ever be a great player, but we need to have him working within a system that he buys into, and that goes for the whole squad.

Morgan had us constantly exceeding the sum of our parts, that's what good coaches do.

Chester needs to find that.

I would say Walker and Weyman are way ahead of Coxy in the tackling stakes ? Donaldson may step up into the loose man role, he is allegedly a strong defender if reports are to be believed, i like everyone hope Lunt is announced shortly that would be a really good replacement for the massive void left by Josh!

Its probably best to hold back on news about this player or that player, something I should have heeded myself in relation to the signing of a No1 '9', but when you receive information from someone who has not let you down before (who wants it to be announced thro a 'puppet' source, which actually has its own form of personal kudos), a track record of spot-on news that goes back ten years, and to be honest a friend, it leaves you both untrusting thereafter and effing foolish. Better to wait for official announcements, something I will do hereafter.

Do you mean heights and not nights

So what are you saying then we have a poop number 9 coming

Or did you mean to put boogy or boozy in front of nights

Alright ginge were you been hiding heard any good rumours lately

My, we are a bit touchy. Not a very trustworthy source your contact if he is in fact employed by the club and discloses true information not officially released or alternatively untrue information. Either way maybe if you have the interest of the club at heart you should confidentially have a word with the CEO and let him know that we have a mole in the camp. Your source is obviously not the sort of staff we should be employing.

The Club has been trying to find the source of all these leaks for months now ........ #binbagtime

Hiya na all quiet on the western front I'm rubbish me
