Whats wrong with Clinton?

Nothing, I didn't say there was.

Nowt like a bit of comprehension.

Like wading through treacle this.

Vella was ever present upto the KC Derby this season.

Oh I see, just presuming he will be injured

Scott Murrell is now officially my preferred choice.

Can't argue with that.
If this is the case, the cap that's left for a blockbusting forward and anywhere else will be plenty I should imagine, espeically with these youngsters coming through.

Certainly looks bright, I want to see James Greene and Kristian Bell in the first team, think these could be quality given a chance!

On the back of 2 speculative 40/20's with a 40 mph wind behind him. Easily pleased arent you.

maybe so but they still had to be kicked. i seem to remember hull going nearly 2 season without 1 not that long ago, yet he kicks 2 in a game!!!

He is a good gap filler, nothing more. We need a bit of class at 6 and until we bring a kid through, we will have to look outside the club. I would be mega suprised (and disappointed) if we go into 2011 with Scotty at stand off.

I don't see any better options being available in SL. I don't know if Ratchford is or was ever a realistic target, but I'd rather stick with SM. He might not be the ideal SO due to lack of pace, but there has to be an element of 'if it ain't broke...'. Plus we might finally get some continuity in Rovers hb pairing.
If we can find a top SO in the NRL, capable of 'taking us to the next level', then brilliant, especially if he can cover 7 - and maybe the club will pull a rabbit out of the hat. I'd rather strengthen elsewhere than pay big money for an ordinary player, though. If we're going to be sticking with playing a prop at LF, another playmaker is less of a priority too.
