Loan signing that makes sense. Didn't realise he started out here.

Solid back up half for Hull KR. Returning to them after the international break according to their press release so will only likely play one game. Away at Wigan. Good luck mate.

Wish him well and just hope he isn’t another “sticking plaster” signing

Spent 2 years in a scholarship before leaving for Bradford, which was near where we lived, and the college he wanted to attend

I’ve been away so long now that I’ve genuinely never heard of the loan signings we are making…. (Senior excepted)

You are not on your own.

Just seen his highlight package… looks a decent player

Indeed. Looks good to me.

Not a bad player to be fair

Good luck Rowan

Sounds like it if playing only 1 game but good luck to the lad….

He will be the best half back at the club by a mile!

Maybe it will give an indication as to whether it’s actually our halfbacks that are the issue/ or part of it.

At the moment everything goes through Lino but equally I think that’s detrimental to him and the plays we put on. To say he’s had so much ball he’s not created anything resulting in a try for a number of games. I’ve never been fully convinced by Lino personally. He can sometimes delay the pass too much and give defences time to slide out. It looks good his show and go then pass but it doesn’t get the ball out wide fast at all.

Wouldn’t hurt to rest Lino and see how we fare without the player who touches the ball the most but creates very little.

Anyone who knows owt about rugby would know that linos got real ability but same folk know some ain't got heart when it needs roll up your sleeves get stuck lynes another spirit nowt there I'm afraid

Forwards made the yards on Sunday so the issue is with the attacking structure or lack of it, which means Lino is making it up on the hoof, the consequences of this are sadly clear to see.

My opinion for what it's worth.
Stand Off should have been our major signing in the close season after Miller jumped ship. It seems he was the glue that held it all together Fifita and other players spoke very highly of him as a leader.

As said above we are totally unbalanced at half back with Lino having to take all responsibility. In fact if you look at most of the tries on Sunday they ran directly at Smith who couldn't make the tackles.
Why on earth didn't the coach do something about it I do not know.

So yes right to look at SOs but is Milnes the answer I don't know.

If you click on the link it brings up a picture of Mikey Lewis https://wakefieldtrinity.com/milnes-joi ... loan-deal/ Wish he was coming instead !!

I think he’ll compliment your maverick half quite well and allow him to focus on his own game more. Rowan has the ability to lead a team around at the very least.

Something we have strived for but failed to recruit since the days of Liam Finn.

Rovers have 2 England half backs in Jordan Abdull and Mikey Lewis which has seen Rowan Milnes have a lack of game time.

For literally months at the end of 2022 neither were available and Milnes stepped in admirably. In particular the last game of the season he was instrumental in the 4-36 hammering of Hull.

He actually played against you lot a week or two back in the absence of Abdull and had a decent game.

We've taken 3 brilliant players from you in George King, James Batchelor and Corey Hall. There's also Yusuf Aydin although we haven't seen enough of him to know yet.

I hope you'll get value out of Dagger and Milnes although I don't see Rovers allowing the latter to leave on a permanent basis.

Don't think Miller jumped ship not appreciated by fans I think couple of half back as good as any in league fans here get what they deserve in luv with second raters like fajita got what you deserve in my eyes and I've watched since 50s no troll

I really don’t know whether I would put Milner straight in for Lino.

If Milnes is an organising half then he needs the ball the most out of both halves. Lino if he plays will have to play secondary to that. Plus with the amount of ball Lino has had we need a different direction.

Let’s hope Milnes will provide that.

He's there to partner Lino not replace him.

From what I've seen of Lino he has the ability to confuse the opposition but equally confuse his own team mates as they don't seem to be able to predict his next move. Similar to Rangi Chase but without the magic.
