Oops my mistake. Glad you pointed it out rather than Rupert.
So they haven't even bothered to replace Keating then.

| Recruitment has been shat for years. We haven't signed a half back who has proven to be VFM since Tony Smith and even that one is debatable. Anyone expecting feka and this tongan to rip SL up is deluded. If Radford can get them playing to their potential and we do OK injury wise then we could finish 6th. If he doesn't then we could easily be outside the 8
leeds
saints
wigan

All significantly better than us

He played 5 games and was rightfully dropped
The season before he led them to the minor premiership and the GF.
Should go well over here especially with Burns dictating things

He is ok, he is a runner, you have no organiser or kicker. Could be a big problem that we have suffered with for years and still now.
Luke Walsh is the one we both should have gone for, great signing, very jealous of their recruitment.

| You've got potentially the most exciting halfback the game has seen for years on your books
Hope he continues to develop, he's a special talent. But how old is old enough for htw?

I think another year, maybe a game in the cup dependent on who we play. Saying that he will be 17 this season and plenty of players have played SL at 17.

If you did you will have seen how average Weyman and Costigan were, wont have seen Keating though, couldn't get a game and has been replaced by Holdsworth.'"
Should go well but worried about fitness, nice and steady, did you read what I actually put?
You want to talk about average, apart from Paea your signings have been pretty much that, if not worse.

Squad taking shape quite nicely.

Looking forward to the friendlies to see some of these players in action.

| I really don't know why we're bothering this season. Having read Rupert's spiel I've sold my house and put the entire funds on Rovers to win everything. I suggest you all do the same.

How did he lead them to a GF? They made the GF on the back of Kasiano, Graham, Barba and Morris. Keating played but he didn't lead. He was average.

| The thing is with recruitment, until the season starts you can choose to talk or down signings depending on your club.
You could say:-
Costigan - Decent defence, nothing going forward.
Keating - He's a hooker not a half.
Weyman - Had his worst season in years, looks slow.
Walker - Injury risk.
Poore - Decent prop, penalty machine.
Feka - Not played well in years or looks in the best shape he's ever been in.
Talanoa - Not played in years or did well for Souths and scored 40 in 95.
Briggs - Never played the game etc etc
I think Rovers have potentially recruited slightly better than us but, time will tell. We don't know how players will go.

Well they didn't make it this year and all those 4 played
It doesn't surprise me you are slating him as he has signed for Rovers yet are raving about feka and the bin man as great signings when neither has played at a good level for at least two years.
At the end of the day we were never going to find a player of a similar ilk to Dobson. Look how you have struggled in this area!!
So we've recruited a half with more of a running game with more organisation falling on the shoulders of Burns by the looks of it.
Decent triangle of players in Eden, Burns and Keating, certainly could be worse.

Which is why it is pointless you, Rupert and other Rovers fans coming on here, both think each others signings are poor and can use spin to say how good their own signings are.
Sad fact is, neither side have improved their team much and doubtful they will improve on last years position, both clubs need to get their youth players coming through, before they can use the salary cap to full effect (like Leeds and Wigan), AP certainly knows this and I would expect NH to thinking the same also.

If he continues with last seasons form and not the previous season, then you won't be far off wrong.

I've said I expect around 8th place again. People posting about finishing top 4 for Rovers are crazy in my eyes.

| Rovers haven't won the league or made the final at Wembley since Gavin Miller played so by your "logic" on Keating maybe they should re-sign him

I'm a little more optimistic providing we can get somewhat of a full strength team out on the park each week,I'm hoping for 6th. But I think many teams are battling for the 6/7/8 place finish, including us.I ain't seen anybody predict us finishing 4th.
