Having signed no overseas players for 2009, before the start of the 2010 season, Fitzhenry, Aizue and Gene left Rovers. Since then we've signed 'only' Clinton, Green, and Mason.
We're full on quota, but have a non-fed spot free. You're the other way round. Virtue and restraint are in short supply, but that is the nature of the incentives and regulations at play.

You have to laugh. Mason is a massive signing yet the Hull fans seem more bothered about whether he comes then us Rovers fans. Maybe it's simply down to us having a really stong backrow already.

When Lovegrove is back he would be the prop I would drop.
Clinton is poor? What have you being smoking. After joining rovers a few games into the 2010 season he finished with the highest metre per carry of any1 in the league. Something like 8.7 metres per carry. Clinton is far from poor and I'd have him in my side over any prop Hull could offer me.

Maybe it's just me then, but everytime I watch him he looks like a plodder, as he did on Sunday, decent defence thats it.
Maybe he plays well when I dont see him play, you do see him more.
Although O Meley is twice the prop Clinton. will every be.
