| Quote ="Gavin Miller - Legend"You dont know the 1st thing about me.
If thats the case why are Hull fans almost to a man on this thread implying he will leave then.
Lets see one mention the giant strides Hull KR have made and how he could be part of something good should he re sign for the most progressive club in Super League.
So you get your head out of you backside and get over yourself chum.'"
Quote ="Sheldon"if he doesn't sign a contract with hull kr before the deadline, tbh i fully expect him to sign a long deal there, i'd like us to put together a deal for him, i dont know if it would be possible for us to have 3 international wingers on our books but i'd like us to try.
if gidley, long, cunningham and cayless all retire at the end of the season saints will have to sign some very good replacements or hkr will be a bigger threat.
how did fox leave leeds? any bad blood that would make him not want to return.'"
is that what you were after or did you want it even more straight forward? |

He's just renewed thats why he had visa issues. Not sure how long his new deal is though, would doubt its just 1 year? |

Since Justin's been here I think the only player that's chosen to ply his trade elsewhere is Andy Raleigh... & I think that deal was probably done before Justin arrived.
If Leeds & Saints came knocking then any player would be interested, but neither seem to sign established Super League players very often. Just not how they've built their squads. I reckon these two have recruited less from other Super League clubs than any other teams in recent years.

You were in a lower division and a super league team came in for him. Of course he jumped at the opportunity to sign for them.  |

| Quote ="Gordon Gekko"I think unless Rovers act quickly they are almost certain to lose Fox at the end of the season. His agent will already be touting him about and rightly so as that is what he is paid to do. Fox needs to get the best deal for himself both financially and career development wise, if he feels both can be achieved at Rovers he'll undoubtably stay, if he not he will certainly move.'"
No, no, no. Zod has already told you that he has a mortgage blah, blah, blah 
Anyway Peter Fox - Overrated!! |

Better than Calderwood and Briscoe and certainly more use than Raynor if he ends up getting banged up. |

You don't know any factors abut his decision making so don't pretend you do. Howabout the factor of playing for the joint elite club in SL which are well known for a certain style of rugby that he would excel in?
Did Fox go to the WC? Did Calderwood? Moving on.....
Briscoe will be twice the player Fox will ever be, in fact in a short space of time he has already caught him up tbh. |

Total bollox. Briscoe has proved he can bust a few tackles but the guy simply isn't fast enough to ever develop into a world class three-quarter is this isn't something he can rectify where as Fox's weaknesses can be rectified as he develops. |

I know what your saying, it's not like he's fast enough to score length of the field tries againt Hull KR. |

Aye TS has only won two SL GFs, he knows nowt!!
Claptrap about Briscoe, all Fox can do is run fast, he has excellent pace but little else imo. In 5 years timie Briscoe will be way ahead of Fox and deep down you know it. Fox might be onto his 10th club by then
So the likes of Walker, Webster, Welham etc will never amout to top class backs as they don't have the required pace? Jesus did Morgs talk to you in the offseason about pace as it seems to be all you mention each week when comparing teams and players |

| So what is Fox's weakness which can be rectified?
Briscoe may not be the fastest yet, but have you never heard of speed training? |

Im not quite sure how a Fox / Briscoe comparison came into this but.....
Fox is the fastest man in SL and defensively has improved since his time at Rovers.
He is also deadly with the try line in sight, an out and out finisher.
Briscoe is one of the best prospects in the SL.
Strong above his years and with a fair turn of foot.
His longer term future will be as a Centre i would have thought.
Both can be dodgy under the high ball at times but thats the same for lots of wing men.
I will be delighted if Fox signs a new contract, if he doesnt so be it, the club and team does not revolve around 1 player.

Agree with all of that apart from Fox fastest man in the league!
Calderwood, Roberts, Donald, Pryce, Webb, Smith????? |
