So in a hypothetical scenario that Rovers continue to struggle this season, put season passes on sale in July and announce a signing to boost interest, that would be rank hypocrisy, obviously. But clearly that won't happen.

What would signing a player on a 2 year extension and playing him in SL 4 times in 2 seasons look like, then - extremely useless? :lol:

Not the best decision but with a 4th placed finish they got away with it :lol:

Sensibly enough they seem to wait to balance a bad defeat with some good news the following week, so hopefully we won't hear for a while. Colbon and Lovegrove would be the obvious choices for renewal at the moment, IMO.

Clinton has done well enough from what I've seen. We just lack anybody who, on recent form, when they get the ball, you catch your breath and there is a sense of anticipation or excitement.

Colbon
Lovegrove
Webster/Galea
Walker
I'anson
Wheeldon
Mills

id guess that would be in order of importance.

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

Rhys "probably the worst top division no. 8 in HKRs history" Lovecantackle will only get another contract if he signs for more or less an academy wage...upto him...

I would put him on the first plane to NL1.....however my views are not widely shared.....

Would be my order of importance to keep; but id only keep the top 4 and would let the bottom 4 go.
I'Anson - we need someone better (maybe keep as back up?)
Webster - Dont think we'd miss him to much, and reckon we could get better on cheaper wages.

Yet he is significantly better than Wheeldon (for example). Go figure?

Larry, or may I call you Laz?

I don't know if you've noticed, but Rugby League is a pass time, you know, supposed to be enjoyable. A bit like yer old folk enjoy a bit of Crown Green Bowling.

You following this Lazzington?

What I don't understand about you (and I do realise it's none of my business, I'm just curious Lazzer) is why would you indulge in a pass time (remember, we've already learnt it's meant to be fun) when you don't like either the participants, the bloke organising them or even the club.

Pray tell, Lazzog, why do you pain yourself so?

That's because they're mostly wrong.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas
