Well yes, obviously.
Colbon just isn't a winger for me, I'm actually not sure what he is. A winger to me needs either sustainable pace or explosive pace, good footwork, good hands and good positional sense in defence. I don't think Colbon's got any of these to any great degree, he tries hard, can finish from close range and used to be good (and recently has been better) on exit sets, but that's about it.
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.

God above, is there anyone you lot aren't in for?
Looking forward to seeing your plastic pitch, could be very interesting.

Doubt it tbf a lot of it will be agent talk. Widnes have basically a full cap to spend and the money to do it so agents will use us to drag bigger deals elsewhere more than likely.
Lee Smith would be a cracking signing at FB for you guys IMO. Before Union move I though he was set to be the England FB for years to come. Still has ability just needs to get the form back!

Well, yes. Hung by my own petard so to speak!

Lee Smith should be a decent signing. As a player he's lost his way a little i'd say, but a new challenge at a new club may just be what he needs. I expect he'll get the No.1 jersey.
Well IMO that worked out for the best re Colbon, no offence but why would we have wanted to keep him? Need much better (like hopefully Smith will be) to compete with the best.

We'll agree to disagree about Colbons ability. My point was more about Rovers current approach to retention and recruitment, an approach that is clearly a shambles.
Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.
