I agree, but trying to get hold of top players is difficult. I doubt Mills is on a massive contract, though when he signed he had been everpresent in 2008 and was captain of his country, so it could be an issue. Hopefully he can at least get back to being a solid option next year.
IMO, if we don't get a top prop, a different type of prop would still be of value. But being honest my understanding of RL is several levels below that of a SL coach. I think JM and his staff may prefer technically sound players to blockbusting ones with the odd rick in them - Netherton vs Aizue, for example.

Is he still with you ? was tipped as the next big thing but not heard much about him in the last year

Yeh he is. Looked the part when he came in and played a couple of games in 2008 season and was really surprised he didnt get more/any game time last year.

You're really happy with those props are you ??

Laugh it up uber dimwit, he said the [i:3cmrlv30exact[/i

can you read?

Anyway Alex Mc, dim wits aside, I totally agree.
To consolidate our position we need at least one if not two competent props.
Vella's getting more and more injury prone, Netherton's solid in defence but doesn't offer a lot going forward. Lovegrove had a great season and will hopefully kick on again. Watts has to grab his chance his only appearance this year was (I think) against Cas were he clearly came out to try and make his mark, tried to hard and was awful. Wheeldon's okay, as long as he gets a 50 metre run up first and Beaumont's obviously only going to make a couple of appearances at most.

Went on loan to you sister club for a year, i've been talking to him and he is looking forward to making the step up this season. Hes back in full time training and is raring to go

i think you mean 'mother club', afterall they are descendents of them.

Dear me !!! There really are some touchy dobbins nowadays !!!!













I wonder why ????









No money......no signings of any note.....no optimism for 2010 and just to top it off, a $hitty green kit to play in !!!!

In other words 'Oh poop I made myself look a right t!t there'

I dont think youre recruitment has finished from what i hear.

he went out on loan somewhere last year.
not heard anything about where hell be next year, if hes staying or going tbh

i heard a rumour in pub on saturday night that you've paid off david mills and ben fisher's contracts, and are signing fui fui moi moi and matt diskin, anybody else heard this and is there any truth in it?

Suppose we can all dream cant we!

I heard a rumour in the pub on Saturday night that "giddyupoldfella" makes up ludicrous rumours of absolutely no standing that any old spanner would instantly see through.

Any truth in it?

In tommorows Mail

Leeds have published there squad numbers for next season, and Matt Diskin is number 14, I doubt if he was going anywhere he would have been given a squad number, last year on his contract mind.

you wanna meet up and say it to my face? or you gonna mouth off and act the big man behind your keypad?

Classy!




[size=59Anyone got a pictue of a handbag?[/size

morgan might have and he may have matching shoes to go with it

I bet you wouldn't say that to his face! Its easy to accuse a former international RL player of owning a matching handbag & shoes from behind your keyboard!

true but if i ever see him in his car im gonna rock it just to see his face again

I usualy take these type of rumours with a pinch of salt but i have heard the same thing over the weekend regarding Moi Moi, from a couple of people who i would expect to know a little more about the internal goings on at the club than most of us on the street.
However they did say that it would not be untill 2011 because he is under contract for another year and a huge transfer would be demanded to release him for 2010, Rovers were not prepared to meet that demand apparently.
However, they did say that there were 2 signings lined up and to be announced in the not to distant future, one of the names (Australian prop) has been banded about on here before.
As regards the Diskin rumour, i've not heard anything on that, i guess we will all just have to wait and see what happens over the next month or so.
