I quite like him. Nowt fancy but does a job. As you'd expect with a specialist wing trainer as coach

But was displaced by Salter earlier in the season prior to Salters injury.

Its the same people that were saying sandycock should be sacked who are now talking about him like he's the new messiah . Like ive said before they live in a red n white bubble (please dont correct my spelling)

Beats bursting into tears about losing yet another Magic weekend game.

Safe to say I'm not one of them. I've always firmly believed he would be a massive positive for us, Rovers board took that much time making sure they got the correct man that I've always remained full of confidence. Still we haven't rounded the bend yet and a victory on Monday would probably do that and give us the confidence to beat Catalans in our next fixture.

A bright bloke like you will be able to provide a link to these calls for the coach to be sacked, along with the evidence showing them to be the new followers of the "Messiah"

I love having a new pet to play with. Are you related to lucytheretarded?

Tbf, CS's sticky start and general lack of bonhomie meant there was and to some extent remains a degree of ambivalence about him. Morgan was a tough act to follow. However, I'm delighted at his/our getting some good recent results because 1. Winning is nice and 2. It should guarantee him the breathing to have a proper crack at the job.
A couple of notes - Wheeldon, not the only member of Hull's Grand Final team that 'went south' and CS only had him for half a season 6 years laters. And Yeaman isn't in the current England squad, perhaps explaining our current lack of bleating on that score.
The Uate stuff may bore you, but as you say we all like to be optimistic about our coach and look for positives in their credentials. Much was made of Gentle having been the, as opposed to the more accurate if less impressive 'an', assistant coach of Australia. Moving up the organisation you lot had the whole infallibility of St. Adam thing, until failure-to-take-Hetherington-down-a-peg-or-two-gate, at least.
Anyway, this is our rumours thread (a poor, weak imitation I admit), so shaddup with all your jibber-jabber.
I love a squabble thread, but not here. If you want a long, futile argument over this then invite us around your board, if your mods will have us.

Sell out - giving away home advantage
C'mon Kryton, we're past that

do you say anything different

Is not your friend, and Rovers fan that don't understand how she adds to debate (whether you like her point of view or not) do not understand how discussion board work.

mods shouldn't post when they've had a skinfull

Jungle drums about Hally contract extension.

Boring but on topic

I didn`t burst into tears,but I must apologise to those around me for the profanities.

No need to worry about not crying, tommyfromhull cried for all of you.

Tommy is, at the minute, the front runner by some considerable distance, in the "Dummy spit" catagory for the end of season RL Fans awards. It was quite impressive to read, and made a good weekend, even better.

I feel his pain. Such impressive form in an Olympic year and the event is cut from the schedule.

His only hope is to try sucking on a javelin.

Strikes me as the type that has sucked on many a javelin in his time!

Our rumour threads not actually very good is it. Not many rumours doing the rounds at all.

Didn't someone (I think it was Easty, apologies if wrong) post that you had 11 out and 8 quality coming in?

That should lead to a few thousand posts!

I think where, we're failing on here, compared to the one on the board above, is that we are waiting to post actual rumours we've heard, as opposed to what is at times more of a wish list.

Yup twas myself.

Quite bold. Who do you think they will be? Apart from Paea, obviously. Personally I think the standard of SL will go down several notches as the likes of Tommy Leueluia and Brett Finch are replaced by such as Matty Smith. Interested to hear which trade-ups in quality terms Rovers are linked with. Tough market it seems.

Matty Smith already plays in the Super League for Salford.

I know. But he doesn't play for the runaway top team, does he? Not sure what your point is.

Matty Smith has played in a Grand Final as a young player and is certainly a better player now. Wigan currently have Mellor and Russell out on loan at other Super League clubs ready to come back as better players. (Spoke to young Russell last week in Sugar Mill. Nice kid, bit of a midget, cant hold his beer).
Potentially Wigan, England and Super League could be stronger next season for losing the 2 overseas players.
