Surely you mean Marty Kapow?!

It's ellis's leadership skills we need to replace more than his playing abilities. Maybe 2 players would be easier to find than 1 who can do both

Maybe just Ellis to replace next year. Mini wants to stay on another year.

That's great news, as long as he proves his fitness a contract extension should be a formality. He's been a superb signing.

I thought this might happen, his fitness record is pretty good and if we reduce his minutes I think he has another year left in him.

Makes it easier to try and replace just Ellis (that's if he doesn't decide to do another year)

If he does retire, we have to find a place for him on the coaching staff

Not a rumour but if mini or Ellis need replacing I would be looking at Mcmeekin? Or Ashton Simms

McMeeken yes please. Sims no thank you.

lad from cas? no chance, just signed a new contract hasn't he? plus why would he want to leave the best team ever!!



simms? no thanks, past his best seasons ago!

Chris Hill please if Warrington go down.

Why would we sign a prop (Sims) to replace Ellis or Minichiello?

Sims is rubbish

I'd sign him just for his comb over. For personal reasons I wish it would come back into fashion. I'd sign him just for his comb over. For personal reasons I wish it comes back into fashion.



Anyone remember Les Gorley? The best comb over in Rugby League. Best non rugby has to be Arthur Scargill's Not much to work with but he made the most of it.

Did any Hull player sport one? I think Vince Farrar may have had one. Not in big Les's class though.

Great hair though.

I'd take Greg Bird to replace Ellis. I'm quite sure he'd love to play along side Houghton.

Sims....

for his money he'll be close to the worst value import in the country. Utter garbage. If he didn't have his offload he'd have nothing. Without hill with him he becomes a luxury. Does fancy passes and offloads but not the stuff needed.
Cup final last yr for example ..I remember seeing the stats and pointing them out to my pal whose also a non sims fan
Hill 200 metres nigh on..20 odd carries
Sims 50odd ..6 or something similarly poor

Mcgeekan is no chance..Would demand a massive fee. Good player that kid
Was a rumour at 1 point last yr of elija Taylor. I like that un. Mannering or luke Lewis fit the bill in terms of leadership
But I think mini will go again and I'd not be suprised to see Ellis again but as used more as an interchange prop

I would say the worst import in recent years per reputation was Roy Asotasi.

Willie Mason may be a candidate but didn't play enough games to justify it due to a major cock-up on Rovers part.

Going back further Kerry Boustead was another one, He was voted one of the best players of all time but was crocked when he came to Rovers.

One of my favourite tweets was about Asotasi who did 2 10 min spells one game, a journo reckoning he'd been round that massive Tesco for his weekly shop in between he'd been off that long.

I think we was linked with him at one stage.

For us Lauaki was pretty average. He flattered to deceived, One of the few good games he had was Saints away in the fog.

I thought Matt Sing was average considering the number of rep games he played.

Sing joined when we were truly awful, yet if I remember correctly. His try to game ratio was very high.

17 tries in 48 games. To be fair in the same two seasons Raynor on the other wing hardly set the world alight with 22 in 54.

How long do we wait until we offer Kelly another deal, bit of a risk and that's when his head starts to go, but Already his performances will have teams interested.

I'd be looking to make an offer soon.

Clearly not as good as I remember them haha.

Contract renewal?

We're all moving to Bristol!!

That'd be nice. I quite like Bristol. The people talk weird but if we all went down there we'd soon sort that.
