Firstly you said ''but i get heartily sick of British players getting cast aside in favour of pretty average aussies and this is no exception''.
Then you said ''Clinton is not a direct replacement for Mills''.
Whichever way you look at it if Clinton was not coming then Mils would probably be staying, so make your mind up.
I's about having the best squad and staying within the rules, any coach in Sl would offload Mills and take Clinton. It's not like Mills has not had chances at Rovers and other clubs. I think he is not that bad a player and his size is useful especially off the bench. However why would Morgan refuse the chance to sign a good prop in favour of keeping an average British prop?
Paul you don't get it.
My point is that because Rovers have signed an aussie prop the media and certain sections of fans automatically think that a British player is being offloaded. Remember Rovers have lost Fozzard and Aizue. Clinton should be coming to plug that gap NOT at the expense of someone who is still here.
Its not Clinton for Mills, its Clinton for Fozzard/Aizue. There is no reason on earth for Rovers to offload Mills either team structure wise of financially. The story should never have been printed.
Yes i am heartily sick of the perception that everything antipodean is better than British. Clinton, and O'Meley for that matter, have been in decline in aussie for the past few years yet everyone on here wets their pants and knocks one out everytime they talk about them.
