Should be announced anytime now. Move Abdull to loose man and have Ellis and Brough in the halves. If its right what I'm hearing then I will be posting the prop name on here when its confirmed.

Don't bother, if it's confirmed we can all figure it out for ourselves.

Brough Carney and Cockayne in same team..more niggle than the mrs

Well I like your name he was a good player for us but with a lot of baggage, I hope you are right but I don't think so

Is it me or does Lunty play too many minutes, I think ZDC is being under utilised and believe a fresher skipper would give us more strike, thought Joe Cator was excellent Saturday.

The only way I see the brough thing coming off is if Ellis is recalled as part of the deal, still can't see it though

I think the closeness of Saturdays game and the influence Lunt was having on it meant he stayed on longer in previous games he's been rested when we're well in front

Once it's confirmed we will all know anyway so why can't you just tell us what you have heard and put it Down to a rumour?

I'd have Brough of three years ago, but not this current version of him. Then again, moving clubs *might* just help him in the last couple of years of his RL career.

Whats the hold up in announcing this?

Erm it could be because its not happening.

on loan to fax

where do you get this from?!

he will be playing on sunday for the giants as far as i know!

Brough to Rovers. Must be that time of year.

One down (Jewitt) one to go?

Forgot about Bishop no.7 s prediction. Seems a possibility now. Hope so

I'm usually good at anagrams but struggling with Paul Carter in 'dannybrough'

Apparently, Rovers made enquiries over the availability of DB but thats as far as it went.

If the rumour is right about Paul Carter, and he finds his Bulldogs form, then Rovers won't need another half back.

Do you have any non fed places left?

Quinlin
Heff
JBF
Carney
Clarke
ZDC
Blair
Moss (Doesn't count)

Zdc doesn't count if I'm correct.

How, the only way he wouldn't count as a non fed player, is if he played his junior rugby in Europe, that's why it's caused non federation trained?

His Grandad (Alec Dockar) was born in Hull and had a very good career with Rovers in the 50's, also Heffernan has a Maltese passport, Mitch Clark was born in Pontefract and Moss' mum in British. so that leaves us with an oversees quota of 4 (JBF, Quinlan, Blair and Carney). I'm sure that leaves on full oversees space spare, plus 1 maybe 2 KOLPAC/European passport quota space(s).

Come on Dave I thought you were a fountain of knowledge all things Rugby League, or is it fatigue due to the new baby?

You have to take into account whether of not they're Federation trained (RLEF) now Ronnie. The days of there being only a quota system are long gone because certain clubs would get around exceeding the quota by digging out a Maltese passport for instance



"European/Kolpac passport quota spaces" is the oddest comment I've heard on this subject yet.

From the RFL Operation Rules:


So Dave is right and you don't have the foggiest.

If you're still in the hunt for a Non-Fed player, one the current lot must fall into one of the categories above, but it has naff all to do with passports, grandparents or where they were born.

Thats all irrelevant its non fed trained slot we'd need and all the above fall in that catagory. We are allowed 7 and the extra one is Moss who got dispensation. So in short no room at the inn unless someone moves out

I know this may sound a daft question but what age is U21 defined as? Ie can a 21 year old play in the U21's if he can then ZDC would be exempt this year

Paul Carter the hooker, 2nd row or lock forward that has been released or sacked from 3 clubs in oz for drink and other off field offences?
his only decent season he has has was for Gold coast then sack for drink driving if I remember correctly played a dozen games for souths looked ok then sacked, signed for the roosters then contract terminated too after a few games? do we see a pattern??????
