Couple that with a total lack of service and he only gets to touch the ball when either (a) retrieving kicks, or (b) exit set scoots from dummy half. Its no wonder he doesn't score tries.
I would imagine his contract at Rovers is fairly lucrative by now, having seen it upgraded and padded out by his international appearances. I doubt very much he will get anything near it as an offer elsewhere.
Didn't he originally move there at his own request to help his England chances?

I can't recall if it was at his own request, but it was certainly the reason given at the time for the move.
It's a real shame to see Fox fall so far from grace. England have a dearth of decent wingers so to see someone who was in that setup not so long ago drop out is disappointing. From the sound of the article though it seems that he's determined to fight for his place at Rovers. I wish him well.
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

hopefully he will work hard and knuckle down in pre season, and get himself a bit fitter, come back next season and get back to doing what he does best. I agree its been a hard season for him, very little service for either winger IMO, sometimes he only sees the ball from kick returns or dummy half scoots.
If that is the case maybe a couple more going....3 KR players sat in the sauna at David Llyod last weekanother player walked in and said Morgan's here, one said what the f** is he doing here and another said f*** this I am going
I kid you not, interestingly they were all British.

I'm as confused as everyone about what is going on at rovers now. One way or other the players have to know who they are going to be coached by next year. It's an integral part of their contract. With this in mind, players being told they "are free to talk to other clubs" may be told otherwise if the coach changes and wants to retain them. One way or another something concrete has to be done, JMs contract extended or terminated and I don't care which it is!

Hope it's not true, gutted for him as he really seems to care for the fans and club. Ok form has been poor of late but there have been signs of improvement lately then this kick in the teeth for him. Would prefer him than Colbon as at least he has pace, albeit not as it was. My daughter is fretting too as she loves him to bits
