Does he? I can think of plenty who have been shipped on quietly when they've failed. Mostly seem to be props which is interesting as he used to be a prop.

Name a poor player that Morgan has signed, in relation to the level that we were playing at the time of their signiture.

David Mills on a 2 year deal, 2008.

Mills was signed on a one year contract and went on to be a 30 game everpresent.
He was RE- signed on a 2 year contract so i win that on a technicality.

None of the above were classed as "poor players" at the time of their signature. Mills was no world beater, but I suspect his initial contract value reflected that. He has since gone on the become a right cart-horse, that I'll give you!

Poor Morgan signings are more widespread than many on here would have you believe, but as a % of total signings, I imagine its still quite low. The following are examples of poor signings (IMO of course!):

Desi Williams
Gareth Price
Garrett Crossman
David Mills

Interesting (as you have alluded to) that 3 of the above are indeed, props.

All coaches will have a poor signing or 2 to their name. The biggets from the list you have above was Crossman. He came with great raps from the aussie press and his coach. He turned up and was really poor, maybe it was settling abroad and adapting to a different rules and styles of play.

Paul Cooke has not been a poor signing, he just hasn't hit the same levels of influence on our team as he did for FC. If he wasn't an ex FC player who came over acrimonioulsy he would even be getting discussed.

In our initial SL year Cookie was the difference that kept us up and for that his signature was very valuable.

I thought Fozzaard did a very good job for us at the start of last season , and was the seasoned campaigner who led from the front , particularly when Vella was out injured.

Just look at Richards and Phelps at Wigan, I'm sure the fans would be happy to have seen them leave after their first season here in SL.

I'm sure Moa now in his second season will show FC why he is worth a place on the overseas quota.

WTF?! Are you referring to Michael Smith?! If so you're wrong IMO - Rovers legend and a crucial part of the club's return to the top flight.

Re Cooke, personally I will always be glad we signed him - without his performances in 2007 we wouldn't have survived IMO. £3million in debt, but think what it would have been if we'd got relegated.

I dont get all this if Cooke hadnt signed, Salford where shocking and even without Cooke you would have finished above them, the only decent game he had that year was against Hull at the KC, and even if he hadnt played you woud have still beaten us that day as we where that poor.

I not sure the reason that Cooke hasnt produced the goods very often at Rovers, I would guess that the main reason would be him playing he wrong role a Rovers, at full he played therole of SF, no matter what number or position he was down as. At Rovers he played 2nd fiddle to Webster and Dobson.

I hope JM brings out a book one day, would love to know if he wanted to sign Cooke?

Just to show I'm not completely one-eyed - and much as I keep hoping - the oft-injured Chev Walker hasn't hit the heights, even when fit(ish).
Crossman was similar to Mills and Menzies never showed the promise he allegedly possessed.
