i hear we have signed ben galea for next season on a two year deal , what would be your thoughts if true??
personally i dont think he would improve what we have already got !!

Quota?

We don't have a space, unless Fitz leaves.

Woo-hoo, 2nd row [uis[/u the main weakness in our squad.

I really hope not! Just can't see what he would add, if anything, to our current squad.

Safe to say, I hope it's just a gash rumour!

You do know Agar would play him at off half don't you?

A good player but it's NOT happening.

i hope it is a gash rumour!!!!

Ooh, now that makes it more appealing.

It wouldnt surprise me.

Too old, too injury prone and waste of a quota space if hes still classed as one

Well, one thing's for sure. For all the hand-wringing that goes on now about Galea being "a huge miss" for Rovers when out with injury, he'll suddenly become an over-rated, over-priced crock who was stifling the development opportunities of Matt Cook.

I dont think that Matt Cook is the player that Justin Morgan has earmarked to replace Galea..

Fitzgibbon > Manu > Tickle > Galea

No thanks.

Wilkin?

Thats never going to happen.

I heard that rumour a few weeks back but just thought yeah right

Heard today danny tickle signing for huddersfield

Been waiting weeks for the rumour thread!

Sounds perfect

would you blame him? the chance of playing for a club with ambition isn't one to miss at this stage in his career.

HullFC aren't going anywhere near any finals with Agar in charge

Ditto.

It would be the most pointless signing ever.

If tickle goes to Huddersfield I don't think we'd need to replace him unless washy left.

Manu
Whiting
Fitzgibbon

Lauaki

Burnett as back up.

Let's use our spare cash to bring in replacements for Radford, Dowes and two 3/4's.

Just cant see it unless it is to replace Fitz which seems pointless, he is good player but overseas. too old and injured too much.

As Sheldon has said we haveplenty of cover in the backrow, even if Tickle leaves we have Turner, Whiting and washy who could play in the backrow.

Also we have Kent, Cunningham and Crookes coming through.

Wouldnt be a bad signing as he is a very good player when fit but would be a strange and pointless signing as we need to recruit in other positions.

The only good thing would be his ability to play stand off.

How much potential does crookes have?

Lots IMO, picked for England under 18's squad along with Lyne and Briscoe, starting the year playing for the under 18's, not playing for the reserves, played the last 2 games scoring a couple of trys and kicking a few goals. havent seen him play for a year or so (Hollywood fraiser will be able to give a more recent view0, but when I have see him he looks very good, hopfully as good as his Dad.

Think people are underestimating danny tickle think he is a big player for us and be daft to let him go as for ben crooks nowhere near ready still very skinny and why rush players
