I can be 100% sure this has never and will never come into Rhys's thoughts. He just wants to play the best rugby he can to support his family. He enjoys the pressure of trying to earn a contract and has no desire to play for any other club either here or in the NRL. Now dont get me wrong this doesnt mean Rovers can have his pants down and offer him poor contracts but he is a very loyal player and plays his best rugby when he is enjoying life and his rugby.

If Lovegrove counts then Scotty and Chaz must as well


That makes Scotty, Chaz, Rhys and Kris all homegrown.
Does anyone know at what age Stan joined us

Dont think Stan knows what age he joined us!

Really chuffed for the club and Rhys - he's been outstanding this season and he's a nice kid to boot.

top notch player great news he's staying

If this is correct then for his sake I hope he's got a decent agent.

Homegrown

This isn't a dig at Netherton because I l;ike him but how can someone who has been arguably our best prop this season be given a 1 year deal and Netherton be given 2?

Nice to see Lovegrove getting the appreciation on here from Rovers fans he deseves. Had an outstanding season at prop, marred up until recently by his injury, but hopefully back firing on full cylinders for the play off.

I thought it was because he requested it that way, as his comments in H.D.Mail say some player on more than a 1 year deal (take Mills for example) get complacent, and with a 1 year deal you push yourself as an individual, to play at your best.

Im chuffed for Rhys , he had his knockers during the season , pleased for the lad, met him a few times and he is a nice kid, worked really hard and took the criticism he received well, all constructive and he worked hard to eradicate the errors he was making.

Well deserved contract , it must be the pink boots , Linda Lovelace

A lot of people also forget he is one of the youngest first team players Rovers have being a week younger than Welham.

Fair enough. Sounds like a pretty good attitude to have to me.
