does this open the door for maybe king and bibb to sign? I think these would be good signings in my opinion

King? Good God, no way on earth would we want him. Too injury prone and not a good influence on the rest of the team. I thought he wanted to play part time if you believe the rumour mill on the dark side.

Bibb? Yes, he showed some good touches in his last game at Cas and an off-loading prop is definitely required for next year.

King would be the worst signing we'd ever made, taking aside his off field reputation and that if you cut him open he's black and white through the middle he's also not good enough to improve our squad.

Bibb was average at best for us last year, had a good game at cas but would be a bit underwhelmed. Justin seemed to like him so it may happen and he may turn out good but wouln't be top of my list


P.S. Hope the King one doesn't come back and bite me int he ar5e.. :D

Not on about just from a playing point of view. I couldn't imagine one rovers fan who would be happy with a signing like this, if you wrote a list of what you wouldn't want Paul king ticks every box..


(Now I really have made a rod for my own back if he ever did sign..)

Paul King?

I used to think that just because he played poorly in derbies, my judgement of him was negatively skewed. Then Wilf says in his diary that he had his best games against us. Was good once, I'm sure, but now has the impact of an 80-minuter, playing in short spells off the bench. The FC fans (well, some) love him but even his most ardent admirers are relieved, if not pleased, to see him go.

Bibb would be alright and and in line with our current recruitment strategy. Don't think he is OOC though and Wakefield have let a few go.

Thackray is the sort of player we need, but there are big doubts over his professionalism. His stats for 2009 aren't bad - compare with Fozzard for example on the SL site. A one year with strings and conditions attached might be okay - might be okay.

Remember too that Lovegrove wasn't regarded by most as a prop going into the year. Mills has been anonymous, but was a steady member of the 17 throughout 2008. Plus Watts will be 20 during next season and 6 or 8 games would really help his development IMO.

I doubt King would go to you and even if he would he is not someone you need. He will be lucky to play for another SL club and could well be plying his trade a division down next season. Rumours abound he may be going to Celtic.

Thacks is a good player and it seems he has yet again fallen out with the coach. What the reasons behind it are i don't know but he is a good impact prop who can do a job in SL IF he can be sorted out.
Would only offer a 1 year deal because if problems arise it is easier to get rid.
