Isnt Webster much younger than Galea aswell?
IIRC, Webster is 26, a good 5/6 years younger than Galea, and I agree with you about the scarcity of good centres. Releasing Fisher isn't so straightforward as he is contracted through to the end of 2011.
I would keep Webbo, albeit, he would need to get his head around a paycut, 'cos no way is he a 100K p.a. player.

Since you ask, however, I disagree with his statement. Deals were done already, why not announce them? I also don't feel that I've been sold short by the signings of O'Meley or Fitzgibbon.
Who was the last signing Rovers announced mid season for the nezt season?

Dave K. wrote:How far off is Walker from fitness you could release Webster and use Walker at centre. Not as good as Webster, but is a solid player, better than Craig Hall IMO.
Walker will be lucky to get on the field this season I suspect. If he does, it should NOT be at centre. He doesn't have the mobility to defend there anymore.

Walker to 2nd row and Clint to centre it is then

I haven't played since 1993, we're in serious trouble.
Oh, and I'll do for a Cadbury's Boost a bottle of Old Jamaica ginger beer (made with fiery Jamaican ginger root) and a second hand copy of Razzle.
With a name like that then surely you count as a quota player aswell, ifso your demands are too high, you may have your Boost, a half empty bottle of welham beer or half full bottle - you may choose yourself. And we will throw in a 4th hand copy of razzle that was found in a garden bush by some 12 yr olds on the way to school. Deal?

I think a lot of people will have that prospect at the back of their minds, its always a possibility with an injury as bad as he got. For Chev's sake, I hope he gets back on the pitch, preferably for Rovers, but if its not to be, I would give him a warm round of applause no matter who he played for (with a notable exception! ).

The quota confuses me.
Which players do Rovers currentley have on the quota? Clinton, Wesbter, Dobson, Galea, Newton, Fisher or Vella
