Probably around the same number as

Mcshane
Barker
Broughton
Scruton....et al

Lets face it your club released him and that was a massive mistake on their part, you'dd have him back .

The only time I have seen him live this season was the KC Derby so you will have to forgive me for not seeing any of the stuff you have mentioned.

Like I said, Gavin Miller would probably be ashamed to be wearing the same shirt as him. He wont even get in the SL team of the year, never mind be linked with great names like Miller and the like.

Digger, what's the point of spouting off if you've hardly seen Newton play this season?

He deserved his place in last years dream team. My guess is that Joel Tompkins & Ben Harrison will be picked this time, but Clint's the top try scoring forward in SL this season...who's to say he won't get picked again?

FWIW Gavin Miller's the best player I've ever seen in a Rovers shirt, but Clint Newton's as good as any 2nd row we'd had in the time I've been watching.

I said I had only seen him LIVE once this season. You hardly get a good view on tv as you can only see the player when he has the ball or when he is in screen shot. If I am to form an opinion on a player then I prefer to watch his movements away from the action.

For example he may spend a lot of time bent over double puffing and panting.
Or laying down on the floor a lot.
Or pointing to a skinny young winger urging him to take another drive in whilst he had a rest.

Do you get me?

By skinny young winger I take it you mean Latus? But he's been playing on the opposite side to Clint.



Seems to me you're only seeing what you want to see. Fair enough, everyone's entitled to an opinion.

I've seen Clint play live plenty of times & fact is he's a good un whether you like it or not.

Who mentioned Clint? Or Latus?

I think you are convincing yourself about the Nail Painter and are paranoid to the point you jump to conclusions my friend

Wel Digger the dog i would suggest you dig a bit deeper cos its obvoius to me ur having a go at any Super League Team would love Clint in they're team he is great for our club and you know the thing that hurt's the Fc faithful he sticks up for our team......... whether you wanna take the P!SS out of his comments in Hull Daily Mail at least he stuck up for what he thought was right..

Digger's hatred of Newton is on a purely amateur level compared to Bazza Lilley! Newts biggest crime was arriving in 2008 and displacing some English players who weren't really up to the job (unless you want to finish 11th every year!)

Not Latus? Must be one of the other skinny young wingers we've used this season...Fox, Colbon or Cockayne then.

No paranoia here mate, just objective opinions based on what I see on the field.

Looks like he's playing clubs against each other and holding out for the best deal, 3yr and £110,000 a year..

Not worth the hassle, unrest & wages though IMO...

I would pull out now if I was leading the negotiations for Rovers. He's just taking the pi$$. 110K + "extras" - anyone care to speculate what that might mean?

Car, house etc?

Seems like an idiot before he's even arrived over here!

Really hoping we stay clear now, he wouldn't be interesting in coming here if his best days weren't behind him (let's face it - the NRL is years ahead of SL), it's a paid holiday rather then a 'new challenge' IMO.
Keep developing guys like Watts Rovers, the way to go...

Maybe a trophy bonus, reaching a certain amount of apperence? Tbh £110,000 isn't that much.

Realistically though the likes of ourselves & Huddersfield are probably a few years away from a trophy though.

FTR I can see Wigan starting to dominate with those 3 Melbourne players adding to their already great squad.

Not really roofs any side out of the top eight could get to wembley with a good draw then it's 80 mins.

Leeds and saints are in slight transitional periods and wire will be as strong so i can't see a Wigan domination yet.

Not too sure but the last time I enquired on extras it only cost in the region of£40 so this should not cost the club too much more.Btw who is the masseur at rovers?

They've asked me to do weekly sock puppet shows, I'm holding out for £7.53 and a packet of Refreshers per gig as Mason insists on me doing it in an Aussie accent and the elocution lessons are costing me a fortune.

Just shorten every word and make every sentence sound like a question.

I would pull out the deal if he aint careful he could lose interest from all 3 clubs wonder if the other club is now FC to be honest i would rather see Wheeldon staying than Mason, okay he is a good player, not the player he used to be though, all the others we have from Aus are they here with all the extras to, bit of a P!ss take going on..........

We haven't got room ranga.

The extras have got to be pretty significant. Now the cap's gone up in Aus, I struggle to believe that Mason would come here for £110k. Newton, Dobson, Clinton, Webster, (plus Berro, Fitz, O'Meley, Long

), all supposedly on more than that and regardless of Mild Rover's discrediting at The Daily Telegraph as a "source", less than half of what Orford is supposed to be getting.

His agent is still banging on about him not counting as overseas, though.

The article says something about the 3rd club having been up there recently or some such. Most likely the new model bratfut, at a guess, but it could be Hull - you seem to be shedding props at a rate of knots.

Hmmmm
