After his recent displays the usual rumour mongers are claiming he is on his way to Saints at the end of the season !!

Anyone know anything to the contrary.

If we have any sense and aspire to be a top 4 club we should tie him and green up to long term contracts similar to the bigger clubs. We have to stop developing players only to see them move on for nothing.

I heard same rumours him and Green on way to Saints Cox has turned down at least 3 offers from Rovers wont resign his agent is pushing him away from us according to what I have heard

Green id sign up. Cox is another Watts, bigs it up when looking for new deal but give him one and watch his intensity drop.

Fare comment another Micky Pia then

It's all about agents and getting the most money they can for bigger cuts. Would be nice for some loyalty to be show

Never. Paea is quality, have him back in a heartbeat. Never drops his standards, Cox is nowhere near.

weyman has more than filled the gap left by paea

Totally agree. As good a forward Paea is, Wayman has made a more immediate impact. And I'd say he is a better replacement. Seems to enjoy the rapport with the fans a lot more too. Very quickly becoming a favourite with a lot of us.
As for Cox, Unfortunately, you can throw all the money in the world at him. If his mind (or his agents mind) has been to find a more successful club than us, then there's not a lot we can do. Loyalty unfortunately doesn't come into it these days. Tho it bloody well should, if a contract isn't too shabby either.

Plays many more minutes as well. Very impressed with Weyman.

Jordan Cox has been rumoured since before the playoff game from the saints end.

James Green was then mentioned earlier in the season to come to us alongside Cox.

Travis Burns is the latest "rumour" to saints to replace lance hohaia whose rumoured to be returning to the NRL at the end of the year.

At this point I just think there's an agent who likes using saints name. 3 from one team isn't going to happen.

There probably thinking if Beaumont can get a contract with saints any of us can

Don't think this would happen, not for the foreseeable future anyway.

Saints not got any promising forwards in their under 19's ??

Rovers get a slagging with the apparent lack of youngsters coming through their ranks. Taylor at Wigan, Beaumont at Saints, and now the names of Cox and Green to the latter tends to dispel that myth now.

Neither do I (well, I do think Hohaia is going back to the NRL, but I don't think travis burns will be our target replacement - that's no slur on him, but our chairman has made it clear what he wants for the team and burns doesn't meet the here for the next 5 year I'd imagine.)

As for our youngsters, it gets more confusing, as we have a tonne of them. Richards, Savelio and Thompson all played vs Leeds as 18yr olds - greenwood is developing well and is younger than cox - walker gets mixed reviews, but is still young, and has (the dreaded word) potential - that's a pack in itself! We need youngsters who are playmakers - any of those we could steal?



I wouldn't use Beaumont in any argument you use though

given were 2 months into the season, and he's still at least a month away!

Fair enough. Was allways a strange decision that he went to you, and I suppose the jury's still out with him in your eyes. Even so, you took him off our hands, so there must of been some promise that you saw in him?
Cox would be a more ball playing forward than green, so I can understand the interest. Green, id say is more a battering ram. Still if you've got so many promising forwards in your academy, then I don't know why you wouldn't persevere with them first.

Beaumont on paper was a great addition - big and heavy! Brown obviously thought he could get him running his weight (the complaint I picked up on here) - alas we've stopped giving out expected return dates!

Green, Richards, Greenwood, Cox, Savelio have the potential to be a truly world class pack to be fair, though I'd rather hkr benefit from their own youth development!

Paea isn't playing for a new contract yet beats all your props on most stats relevant to a prop. (averaged out to games played.)

Paea Carries-13 Metres-105 Tackle busts-2 Ave Gain- 7.96 Errors-3 Penalties-1
PooreC-11 M-77 T-24 TB-0.5 AVG-6.93 Err-3 Pen-7
Weyman C-12 M-95 T-21 TB-1.2 AVG-7.62 Err-2 Pen-2
A Walker C 12 M-86 T-23 TB-1.3 Avg-6.53 Err-5 Pen-2
J Walker C-6 M-44 T-13 TB-0.6 AVG-6.95 Err-0 Pen-1
Green C-10 M-66 T-20 TB-0.4 AVG-6.66 Err-3 Pen-5


Yes I am bored & yes it's a shame he didn't show up on Thursday night.

one thing that doesnt show up in the stats is how slow his ptb was i often thought he would have been better finding the floor after bending the line, rather than slowly making the last 3 or 4 yards with 2 men on him, find the floor and quick ptb would have been better on many occasions, if he regularly off loaded that would be a different matter (its not hes left us he is garbage, id have him back in a flash) Walker and Weyman get up quick for props gives good yards on the next run and chances of a pen with men not back

weyman a 10 minute donkey

Are you twelve??

Idiot

Don't dignify it with responses, look at it's posts - Out and out troll.

I believe he is but unfortunately with the IQ of a 2 year old.

I'd like to see you play for ten minutes carrying fatty Paea in your back pocket soft lad!!!

I've actually been impressed with weyman. Did long minutes yesterday too

tut tut 12year old gets all theese bites
