Difference being,Adam hadn't had 3 serious knee injuries at a very young age,only time will tell I suppose.

Fitzgibbon played a season and half with a badly injured shoulder and he was a machine, some players have carried injuries all there careers and seem to worry about them in the off season or at the end of there careers, walker is a cracking signing imo

Correct. He was also first team coach as well.

Not having a go but I really do think Feka is a very long shot indeed with not a lot to be gained in any case. The leaner fitter Feka is actually an inferior version to the sumo sized Feka because size and power are what made him a force at Super League level and even then only for 10 minutes each half. Salford fans will tell you how ineffective he was last time he slimmed down.

Obviously Feka & Motu Tony go back a long way with their Somoan roots and that explains this signing.

Jonathan Walker is certainly a risk for Rovers because of his poor injury record but he's only 22 a full decade the junior of Feka and at that age it's far more likely a player can put injury woes behind him.

If J. Walker stays fit he can become a major player at Rovers for many years to come so the risk/reward equation makes him worth a punt, now that he has passed a thorough and independent medical. Doubt remains but if we are aware then Rovers are too, so there will be clauses in his contract.

Feka's career on the other hand at 32 was washed up, finished, after the years of decline from NRL to Wigan to Salford to part time in France. OK his mate Motu Tony has given him another turn in the last chance saloon but will you get more than the occasional glimpse of the player he used to be? Would you bet against him being part of next years 'ruthless' Adam Pearson cull? Many wouldn't both sides of the river.

So yes the signing of both players involves risk but the similarity ends there.

Yes Dave Harrison was 1st team coach for a time. I think his son is signed up for one of the Rovers academy teams because we saw them at the YPOTY awards.

Mickey Paea IIRC had quite a bad knee injury prior to coming to Rovers. He then went on to play 53 consecutive competitive games for Rovers.

Lets hope you have no regrets.

I've had a few. But then again.....

You could make it easy on yourself.

They finished top of the league, you were halfway down?

What's that got to do with how good a player he was for us?

Yep and ur team found out first hand in a massive way

Only after a money-spinning Wembley appearance and a second-round playoff game.

How did the season work out for you? We did all that and still underperformed. Sandercock must have been on his knees every single night.

The only reason you believe you underperformed is because you swallowed every word of you chairman's BS, The same chairman that talked himself into a corner and had to sack your coach to get out of it.
Perhaps you could have a mind of you own and start being realistic from now o..................Then again maybe not looking at your posting history.

It seems like that money spinning Wembley appearance and trips to France may have cost you about 2000 fans so far.
Well that is the excuse coming out of your club anyway.

That seems conclusive proof. Like to comment ?

Proves nothing until the season starts I had my pass before now last year and I'm still getting one .

It proves that your pass sales are significantly down on the same period from last season.
Maybe the floaters have seen through all the spin and are not that inspired by the appointment
of Radford and the bloke from the French second division team.

ah a fool and his money......

How many sold at Rovers, out of interest?

4 at our house. HTH

We have also got 4 for the North due to kids wanting to sit.
