Man, everyone was proper ratted on here last night!

Thought he played well, although still the 3rd best half on the pitch, but that's not a surprise with how dominant we were.

Will have the likes of Watkins, Hall, Moon etc at Rovers though to make him look a better player?

The level of quality he's surrounded by and up against will largely depend on our results in our next 7 or 8 games.

If we do get up, it'll be interesting to see how much ambition we have. The risk with 'our' attempts to be manage the club in a more sensible or sustainable way after the Morgan era was that it smelt stagnation and defeat. For example, the premium we apparently had to pay to attract players, supposedly owing to geography was I suspect also to do with an expectation of losing games uncomfortably frequently. Even if agents were too polite to say it.

While Leeds might yet win the GF and Wigan the Cup, Cas, Hull, and to a lesser extent Salford and Wakefield have at very least put a big crack in that glass ceiling.

We can worry about that later though, fingers crossed.

go on then
go on then spill the beans if your so convinced its all fact

danny is a good player but his injury record is getting worse but he will be a good mentor for your young players

I've never been very convinced by the mentoring argument with older players, but that likely just reflects my own preference for learning by doing, rather than listening or watching.

Wear and tear is always a concern with an older player, but his injury record is okay-to-good these last few years, with the exception of last year when he only managed 13 games after some time out early season with a knee problem.

Given that Ellis and Abdull are both on loan, it's good have sorted a stand-off for next year nice and early. It'd be unrealistic to expect to get a player of Maguire's calibre in their prime without even having won promotion. Doesn't take up a non-fed spot either.

on the subject of pension top ups I see you have resigned ten minute mickey

We're trying to assemble an all "ex rovers" team and win SL with it to rub your noses in it even more. josh hodgson coming home soon

Think you will get Abdul as well.

Probably plays twice as long as Mose Masoe, if fit Raea is a very good signing (A bit like Masoe, if he puts more effort than he did at Saints)

What's your view on signing another overseas winger I know it's a pet hate of yours wasting quota spaces on wingers

only twice as many, Christ your glasses must be fading?

like carney mosoe is a good signing for you, if paea can give us 2, 15 min stints I'm happy,
