Charlie Charlie Charlie Charlie Charlie Charlie Charlie

Sorry but its each to there own, a lot of fans would have him back in a flash, others maybe wouldn't,

He had to go , for his various indescretions, but what makes him so popular in my opinion, is the effort he used to put in week on week, which sort of highlights the lack of effort we're getting from quite a few of our current crop of players.

I could not believe that some muppets near me actually clapped when he scored.

dont get me wrong i liked him but hes gone let it go

...... it's over, nobody listens to techno

I never clapped when he scored and at one point I told one of our players to knock charlies head of

now let's go....

To be fair, when he scored against FC he went absolutely mental and he mentions KR on his twitter quite a bit, so I can see why your fans love him, he's even said how great it was to get that reception from your lot today (again on twitter) I feel that he has the red and white running through his veins, just need a little blue in there and jobsagoodun!

You lot certainly love him and he clearly has a lot of affection for the club.

I was dead set against him signing for us, but his effort, enthusiasm and total commitment to every play he's involved in has won me over; I can understand why he became a folk hero at KR. His quick tap to run the ball in again straight after almost having his head taken off, typifies the kind of player he is. Seems to have turned himself around off the field too, which is great to see.

Effort, enthusiasm and been a total crack pot is always going to make you a cult hero. Hated by most, loved by us.

I still have his photo as my avatar, shoot me now!

Convicted violent rascist thug, glad to see the back of him. He got no applause from me yesterday. He let our club down with his repeated indescretions.

exactly if he loved the club so much why didnt he treat it with a bit more respect and behaved himself off it instead of putting officials at the club in awkward positions defending him all the time

Tbh he maybe realises this now and I agree he had to go he is a very good rugby player and with his style of rugby prob could get into any team, but ce la vie and all that we have our own cracking players coming thru now

This thread is soooooooooooo last year!

Care to tell us why you are still fixated with the convicted violent racist? Sounds very stalker-ish to me and disturbing.

A bit like those sad, mentally incomplete women who write to death row convicts and propose to them.

or those who continually post about other clubs accounts

Charlie is a friend of many Rovers fans with links beyond Rugby, regardless of who Ben plays for or what he's done, he's still a close friend to many fans who he built up a relationship with.

It's a bit like Hull fans contacting Raynor for printer ink.

Agreed!

Not fixated with, but I am still in touch with him, yes.

I'm guessing though that you would probably condone death threats to a player for simply signing for a club you hate.

I would suggest your obsession with our club is perhaps a bigger problem for you.

And there goes another one

it would have been if the fans yesterday hadnt been cheering his every move
