Tilse for me is a good solid prop.iv never bought into some fans scapegoating him.Allgood however is a different matter was fairly explosive early doors now seems to throw in half hearted performance then a half decent one.are either value for money/quota spot?tilse for me is.Blair Kelly sio mantellato have been very good imo but having 2 import wingers will take a fair wedge.saying that both of them I enjoy watching.mr campese I haven't given up on but it must be last chance saloon..If sio is going as rumoured we need a Newton quality 2nd row

So we shouldn't accept players that have been good enough to make 200 NRL first team appearances?

Exactly. I think Rovers have a fairly decent set of props. Walker is probably the pick of the bunch, but Tilse isn't far behind IMO. The problem is more the back row; Clarkson, Larroyer, Donaldson, Horne is pretty poor. The best back rower, Blair, having to play in the halves.

I think you have hit the nail on the head with your comment on Blair. Does this also apply to Tilse, are we playing him in a role or style that does not match his natural game?

If we sign a player who has been good enough to play 200 NRL first team games but some fans think said player is only average at best. Do you think the question should not only be is it the player? but also is it the fault of the coaching team? Why are they not getting the best out of him? Why are we not playing to his strengths?

I would happily keep Tilse and bin Allgood, he is no better than any of the back row we currently have and seems to play that role rather than prop. Tilse makes hard yards and looks for the offload, the fact there is nobody there for him to pass to is the problem, rather than him.

When we've had a back row of Greenwood (who will become one of the best 2nd rows in the country) and Blair we've looked very good, last week being a prime example. Donaldson is ok and punches above his weight but would be more of a back up, loose forward is a big issue. We also lack impact from the bench in the back row.

IF we get through the 8's we need to recruit more in terms of depth along with a at least one high impact prop

Greenwoods brother would be a start

He really won't

Grow up .sick of you ters on here

How do you know minichello hasn't turned out to bad and everyone thought he was the crap brother of Anthony

Any young British player that plays for kr is crap any young British player that plays for fc is future international ie Hodgson hall crooks lineham until they leave. .even Briscoe is crap now.Fonua was a waste of an import slot 10 games ago..logan was man of steel last season..fickle classless smug pricks

Take no notice of Jake the fleg. He's a complete tool.

Don't know about other kr fans but I'm getting flak over wanting them to get scudded at Wembley it seems now "well its a hull team" yet last year vast majority of curly turd mates actively wanted us to lose and gave it both barrels when leeds thrashed us.if they do lose I will be on costello bridge baring my welcoming them home

Thing is jake, the kid really will. I sense an amount of usual $hit stirring as usual, but really thinking what we all think.
As an aside to greenwood, we've really found a few gems this year. Lawler, Wardill, Oakes, Minns. And that's just for starters. Mainly because we've had to as we've had no choice.
FC on the other hand have hardly played any youngsters due to the first team mostly being fit all year. Good for the first team, bad for the youngsters. There'll be a few leaving in the next few years as their pathway will be stifled. Mind you some are hailed as superstars but are no better than what we've got. Just they hype their youngsters on another plain, when there really not all that.

I really hope they get stuffed. Living where I do, it's been murder around here recently. You'll bet your bottom dollar if they lose, you'll find me wearing my rovers top with pride in Hessle square.

Firstly, I aint stirring anything, just stating my opinion. greenwood will never be a top class 2nd rower. Lawler looks better than him by some margin already and seems to have a bit of mongrel which greenwood doesn't.

The rest of your post is piffle as you are aware

You mean rolfie ?

D'you know what it is yet?

Your wrong Jake ,Greenwood has been excellent this season as has Lawler but to say he's been miles better just shows you can't have seen any matches they've played

I probably have';t seen them that many times but I've seen enough of greenwood to know he won't become one SL's best 2nd rowers. Plus he always looks like he's about to start crying. He's not aggressive enough and we have better back rowers sat in the stands. I'd sign lawler if he became available though

Tosh. So you think a lad desperate to play would be just happy playing in the under 23's? As I said. The good uns you have will be leaving if the pathway is stifled. Bookmark this if you find it piffle.

I'm a rovers fan on the rovers forum.you quoting mine and others posts asking for a ban is a joke.im no keyboard warrior and am freely available for discussion

Geez is the gateshull page dead? You know james greenwood personally eh jakey the plank?
