I agree with PJ, if its just a loan i would much rather give our youngsters a shot ad some experience of what top flight is like rather then blooding someone elses younster for them. If our youngsters dnt work then ok but give them a shot 1st.

If on the other hand we are looking at taking him on full time then great- but for that to happen it means he needs to have some good SL games for us and hes OOC so plenty of others will start sniffing around.

Semantic debates about the nature of the departure of former player Liam Watts' departure on 'his' thread please.

Yes boss

Quote ="Paul T - HKR"To fast-track a player from outside with little or no SL experience doesn’t make sense to me, unless he is ready for SL but unable to break thro at Warrington, and, there is the possibility of a permanent deal.'" /> From what ive seen of him and by what ive been told about him, i think that Laithewaite will be a real asset to Rovers in the time he is here. We are getting low on forwards now and Sandercock obviously doesnt think our youngsters are quite ready yet. /> Green and Peterson are getting invaluable experience in the Championship in just the same way that Laithewaite did and im pretty certain that when they will get their chance in the run-in aswell.

Quote ="bishops finger"Yes he was contracted to Rovers, didn't stop him leaving when he wanted to though did it? He wanted out, he's gone, walked out.'" /> Watts wan't in any position to walk out. If Rovers wouldn't have wanted him out the club he'd still be a rovers player for another season and Wattsy couldn't have done a thing about it.
