Lots of rumours regards players for next season but reckon Mills will be paid off or shipped out. Not needed at Rovers but could probably do a job at somewhere like Celtic / Salford or Hull.

Let's see who has the best pack next year shall we.

I see what you did there,quite good for your standard.

Too big physically for our pack, I'm afraid, although his overall ineffectiveness would be a big tick in the box. Does he ever offload? Big no-no if so.

[i"This time next year Rodney..."[/i

Least we've been there.

Where exactly?

Anyway, you'll be bottom four this season, bottom four next season and there'll be a record score for Rovers win on Saturday.

Right on two counts, wrong about next season.

Full back.

Most likely/rumoured Outs

Daniel Fitzhenry - 2009
Paul Cooke - 2010
Chaz I'Anson - 2009
Makali Aizue - 2009
Jason Netherton - 2009
David Mills - 2010
Ryan Esders - 2009
Stanley Gene - 2009

Scott Taylor has a contract.

Jason netherton should get a contract in my eyes

Jason Netherton is Mr Average in the Rovers squad. This is not a slight at him as he has served us well and does a job, I just think he could be holding up a space that could allow an academy prospect to come in and develop.

Kris Welham
[i:1la9qmqxA new centre. Im not sure Welham is "Top 4" class[/i
We are top 4 & he is one of the reasons! If he comes on the way he should the only problem we will have is can we pay him what he is worth & stay below the cap.

In my personal opinion he is vastly over-rated purely as he has come through our system. A run of the mill Super league player. no more, no less.

ALEX MC- are you mental? one of the most gifted players to come out of our academy, whats this his 2nd full season in super league? yes he still is not the finished article, but we have 2 former internationals at centre in walker and webster, and id have welham b4 both of them, ok maybe not jake but deffo chev

Totally agree with that, Welham has been fantastic for us this season and has so much potential. You can't possibly describe him as average, or if you are then you must consider Webster average and Walker below average.

Disagree I think Welham's had a great season and will get better. Can you remember when he last had a bad game? He's also our second highest try scorer so far this season.

If we get a new centre will they have to fit in with our current centre recruitment policy and have a surname beginning with a 'W'?

We need a number 6 and number 9.

Cooke is average, sorry. Wouldnt be missed by me. Fisher I like but a faster more mobile and off loading hooker is needed to compliment.

Walker is pants. How many times am I going to read that the next game is his time to shine. Lazy, run out of line, miss the tackle waste of good cap money.
A good in your face, offloading, metre gaining forward like Mr Crabtree would be welcomed as well.

People harp on about Netherton. Good honest pro but doesnt pull up trees. Wouldnt be missed to be honest.

Forwards these days need to either gain 20 metres or be off loading after gaining 10. Gone are the days of running 5 yards and dropping.

Crabtree doesn't fit that criteria then.

You ting me? Crabtree can gain 20 and still off load.

Gains an average of 8.6 metres per carry and has made 36 offloads from 216 hit ups. Whilst i agree he'd be a decent signing i think his overall effectiveness is being a tad over stated.

Whilst I go on the fact he mashes us every game and dont give a crap about stats as they change for every team played against his overal effectiveness I would suggest is sign him up.

Calld up for England is I admit a declaration of his poor play.

Where have i said he is poor???

The point i was making is that if you are expecting 10 and 20 metre hit ups consistantly from the guy you're in for shock.

4 a game would be good. We have other forwards as well. The point is we dont have one of those at the moment.

I can't see Chev, Fitz, Mills, Stanley or Makali being here next season.

Due to the quota rulings, don't we have to lose one of our overseas contingent anyways? If that is the case we would need to lose two off our team to bring one in.

I'd like to see us bring in another centre to act as cover, I don't see anything wrong with Webster and Welham as our starting centres. An impact prop would compliment Vella, Fozzard and Wheeldon well also. Crabtree would be an excellent signing imo, just depends on his availability and willingness to move clubs.

I actually don't think we would need to bring too many more players into our side to be a threat to the top 2. So hopefully our recruitment will have a "quality not quantity" aspect to it.
