We need a big clear out, far too much dead wood at the club, Latus, Horne, Dave Hodgson, Netherton, Withers, Mika,
We've got a good few players retiring and leaving already, the only problem I see is us bringing in better quality players.

How many of the players listed are under contract for 2013? Of those who are, how do you propose we "persuade" them to leave?

I think there all under contract, I wouldn't know how to persuade them, and tbh I doubt they will be tried to persuaded to leave, as I assume most of them are on a pretty cheap wage.
I'm just saying that we have to many average players.

Horne and hodgson few more years on contract it was a cracking try by horne today until he was taken out by a cheap shot from Mathers, mika is no Clint Newton is he, apparently we have 6 new players coming in so at mo we have Gleeson, Patterson, tui wats his name travis and two more



maybe caro from quins

Well Hudgell did mention 5 or 6 new signings.

Er I did say that

No, you said 6.

It's six were getting ok

Why did Hudgell say 5 or 6 then?

It's defo six were losing murrell, galea,webbo, Clinton,green and were watts down

Ah right, you don't know so you're basing it on how many are leaving. I never believe a word Hudge says either.

Who cares what Neil Hudgell said, Easty is the guy in the know by all accounts.

On topic. I think Horne has been a good signing. I doubt he's on a massive wage, so in terms of value for money/performances - I think he's done quite well for us.
Played a few positions and scored a few trys here and there.

when he played for hull i always thought his best position was centre , were do you think he has performed best this year ?

Played probably more games @ centre but has looked like a second row playing @ centre (if you know what I mean).
He's grown into the role and done a solid job whether covering @ centre or playing in the back row. Not spectacular but solid and all things considered, as I said - he's done a good job for us.

I would wager that we have more than 5 or 6 players coming in. We already know that we have Paterson, Tuimivarve (sp), Blake, Gleeson and Caro coming in, so thats 5. When you take into account the amount of players that we have leaving then even taking into account the youngsters that are coming through we must have more coming in.

When was Caro confirmed?

Agree that Horne has done ok for us. Plenty of effort that some seem to think we are lacking.
Mika is still relatively young...isn't this his first full first grade season?
It's a fact we've had a number of injuries and some of the deadwood as described are squad players / back-up that look much more exposed when a few of them are required in the same games.
I feel some of us are influenced too much by what FC fans have to say about our club. If we'd got a couple more wins including one we nearly won yesterday everything seems a bit more rosey. Sandy is right, they scored 12 points directly from refereeing errors and we had two players taken off due to very dubious challenges whilst scoring. You can't just ignore them facts.
Latus I have to agree is not up to it. He has the turning curve of a bus.
I have optimism for next season. We are losing the real deadwood in Webster and Clinton (Watts already gone) and I am pleased with our signings to date and the fact we are cutting our cloth accordingly unlike some I could mention.

Doh!

Who u dohing at

whos blake

Meant Burns.

have you seen the highlights to re-evaluate and for the record no case to answer from the RFL, tinted specs me thinks on this occasion

Super league show starts in 5mins so it might answer it one way or the other.

Nothing out of order by richie mathers imo just unlucky clash , hope horneys ok tho

Is the 6th signing one of the Bulls players?

Apart from the one's already listed I don't know of any other player 'rumoured' to be coming to Rovers.
