I'm gutted for Motu Tony. I have no inside information, but it sounds to me from the snippets of info we get that this is a serious injury. I thought the worst last season TBH when it appeared to be a recurrence of the previous one which kept him out for ages but it appeared that he was making good progress in the off season and was in contention for Wigan. Looks now like that was wide of the mark for whatever reason - such a shame as, for all Byrne is doing a very good job at the moment, we miss Tony's strong running from kick returns and support play.

Very well put - I agree with all of that 100%.






Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm
It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

Motu's great, heart like a lion and brave as hell. Hope he gets back to full fitness soon as we miss his kick returns where we end up on the front foot

y.

I can`t help looking east and thinking " I hope that red and white shower get beat again.
Briscoe is gone get over it. Players come and players go. If I was going to turn the clock back I`d have Gary Kemble any day. Briscoe couldn`t lace his boots.

My wish list goes further than the Rovers squad !the point is he is not part of our set up for whatever reasons and doesn,t warrant getting into the threads every time we discuss f/backs..it is only rovers who live in the past

Kemble's not available though is he? Briscoe is, in all likelihood, the new England FB and was a a fans favourite at the KC for good reasons. Just stating why, IMO, some people still rate him and would prefer he was this side of the river. This is compounded by Tony's unfortunate run of injuries.

Briscoes not available either is he?

He refused the contract offer from Hull. End of story.


He plays for rovers now and I could`t give a to$$ what he does because he didn`t want to play for us.

You're entitled to your opinion. All I would say is that he did want to stay but was advised to reject the initial offer by his agent and this was then withdrawn. Unfortunate all round, apart from for Briscoe's agent. You may not care but quite a few people do. I was just trying to explain why I think this is.
