Chuckle Cousins actually.

We don't do Divet's

As Rhys explains in todays HDM he enjoys playing with the pressure of having to play for a contract it keeps him motivated where others would worry an injury may effect his earning capacity, Rhys just sees the positives and will more than likely happily sign an extension next season too but things do change and he's well aware he has to play well for that to happen.

Im sure he will,the lads been quality for us this season and im delighted hes signed an extension to his contract.

Its a brave thing to do!

Players normally prefer long term contracts to protect themselves from something out of their control ie serious injury which god forbid doesnt happen.

A one year deal suits the club more in that they have a player playing for his future but on the other hand if Rhys improvement continues then he is not tied in I suppose.

One thing with Rhys is that although he loves to play the game and enjoys his job he doesnt see Rugby League as the be all and end all. Not too long ago he seriously contemplated following in his mothers footsteps and joining the RAF if a contract hadn't been forthcoming. He has deffinately been endeared to HKR and is fully enjoying his rugby at the moment as he did in his first year at the club.

Lets just hope his son gets his mothers looks eh!!!!!

I'm a big fan of Rhys. His attitude is top notch and his performances and progress on the field match that. If he carries on at the rate he is he'll be one of the top young props in the league.

Really good news this.
Rhys has been impressive every time he has donned the rovers colours this season, his go forward has been second to none and if he carries on in the same mode next season the sky's the limit for the lad.

Rovers stand out prop when fit this season. Great signing.
