I think that most fans would have taken Lynch in a heartbeat. Would he really have cost anymore than we're paying Cusack ? Probably not.

A good British prop like Lynch would have given us the opportunity to sign big Sam and this elusive Aussie outside back / stand off.

Agree with you there knocker

Possibly. As the quota comes down British players (particularly decent ones) are going to become more valuable to a club and hence their value will rise I'd have thought.

Lynch would have cost a damn sight more than Cusack, we have got Cusack on a song for next season.

If that's the case, then maybe he is good value for money but his quota status, form me, is the real sticking point.

I see your point about the quota spot but he is a top pro and he is at the right money. Plus it's only a one yeard deal which means we are then in line for next years quota without making further changes. We could have got for a better player but it would have cost more and that might have effected our ability to sign some of the players we have?

C'mon Cusack was our best forward by a mile until he got injuried.

Is that why we couldn`t score trys.?

i agree - cusack was playing v.well until injury. i don't rate cordoba that much at all. if he had a good game it's cos he wants a contract, and apparently daniel anderson wouldn't give him a game so he came to the UK

when is the deadline for sam moas decision? getting bored of rumourisation now especially with rovers involved

You may well be correct. Either that or other front rowers have progressed in that time and Dowes has stood still.

Think that was the absence of halfbacks.

Yep I will go with that

Fairy Nuff

I just don't rate him.

He's wearing the number 10 shirt in your team for next season



I didn't rate him in his first year but thought he played well this year before he was injured.

I think the pressure to deliver will be on Dowes next season after a poor season just gone.

We spent a season getting him fit ...............

We mess his around /shall we sign / maybe / no /yes..............

We offer his a one year deal ........................

















And he signs a two year deal with the vermin



Laughing stock

I must have missed the news of his signing. Got a link?

Where does it say he signed a 2 deal or indeed signed any deal

I thought you were more of a Cas fan now?

So after promises of high profile players and "guarantees" of Michael Crocker, Rovers fans have to settle for in their words A fat waste of space.



Let's be totally honest, I loved Sams enthusiasm as much as the next man but that was in last seasons pack, next year's is a whole lot better and I think the keeping of Tickle will almost ensure Radford playing as the 5th prop so Sam would only be used as cover.....

The very same people questioning Cusacks worth of a quota spot now want us to use a spot on a guy that won't play if we have less than 3 injuries in the forwards.

I heard he has verbal agreement with them and it came from a sponsor of KR.

We shall see .....................

I go to Cas more then Hull tis true







I plan to go to York next term as well

So not worth the paper or website it's written on really. I'll wait to see an official announcement from someone before I get happy/annoyed/frustrated (delete as appropriate)

Hudgell's been telling anyone who'll listen that they're not interested and never were.

Verbal agreements are worthless anyway. And easily invented when people want to look like they're in the know or wind up an opposition supporter.
