It would seem an ex-player is confident that Craig Hall will be heading East next year.

Would you like to see him at Craven Park

with the current squad, could'nt see him displacing chev walker or jake webster at , could play on the wing but is he an improvement on what we already have?

Think he would struggle to oust a fully fit Chev and Jake webbo but hes a very good prospect who at the minute is under contract at hull, so yet again just another rumour with no backbone behind it

For god's sake here we go again. Zod's dreamland.

What's wrong Zoddy not enough filing for you to do today??????

seem to remember rumours about briscoe and cooke, some do come true! no smoke without fire!

Lets just get it out of the way all in one go shall we.

I've head on good authority from a mate's uncle's son's brother's gym coache's best friend's cab driver that Matt Sing, Kirk Yeaman, Gareth Raynor, Richard Horne, Ewan Dowes, Garreth Carvell, Lee Radford, Danny Washbrook, Motu Tony, Paul King, Danny Tickle, Willie Manu, Graeme Horne, Richard Whiting, Craig Hall, Thomas Lee. Matty Dale. Scott Wheeldon, Danny Houghton, Mike Burnett, Nathan Freer, Adam Dykes, Shaun Berrigan, Todd Byrne and Peter Cusack will be signing for Roves next year.

Ok now lock it

See my last post and that amounts to Zod's predictions over last season



So what if one or two may sign that will always happen in the City with all the local talent that we bring through.

This has been on the cards since he only signed a one year deal with us last season. Do keep up.

I don't know about that. Over the last few years the rumour mill has linked us with:

Kirk Yeaman
Shaun Berrigan
Darren Lockyer
Trent Barrett

among many others.

Personally I'll believe it when I see it, but I consider Craig Hall a very promising player with plenty of development left in him. As quota restrictions become tougher you've got to welcome British players of that standard.

1) His Dad told me personally that he would love to see Craig in a Rovers shirt (not saying he would push him down that road).

2) Craig has been a massive Rovers fan all his life.

3) And Mrs Barista point out most alarmingly, why did he only sign a one year deal



As far as my dreamland goes, it is here - Paul Cooke is a Hull Kingston Rovers player and he's gonna destroy your team full of crocks come Good Friday...

Yeaman - Agreed terms but obviously didn't sign (thank God).

Berrigan - Enquired signing him as a centre as Justin rates him as a "world class runner of the football" but banged the idea on the head after poor references from ex-Broncos coach Jon Dixon, now at Celtic Crusaders.

Lockyer - Has been "looked after" by the club during his team over here doing work for Aussie TV for the World CC.

Barrett - Nothing but a pipe dream and idle rumours started by people believing we were gonna sign an Aussie international whilst we were in NL1



However, the player in concern was gonna be Jeremy Smith but hit snaggs through visa problems. Turned out for the best for both parties as Jeremy went on to be a full NZ international and we signed Scott Murrell.

That's some "entertainment" you offered him in the first half on Sunday. If that splendid defensive effort doesnt convince him that SL standards match those in NRL, I don't know what will.

General Zod, why do you bother? It's so embarrassing for the rest of us!!!

You've obviously been talking to a former Rovers scrum half who likes striking

The superb red and white army will have.

Why would he come, he wouldn't get in the team unless we had an injury crisis. If we end up needing a centre next season there are lots better we could go for. I reckon Welham will be as good by then given the opportunity to have an extended run in the 17.

My original thoughts TBH but there's always the option of Walker playing in the back row maybe.

1) No shock there then, everyone knows that.

2) Irelevant.

3) He turned down a 2 year deal as he was not in the first team and want to prove himself so earn a better deal with better terms. Also love it at Hull and is playing with his best mates.

Do try harder.

They are professional sportsmen with short careers, they will go where the best deal is (monetary as well as playing prospects). If the deal was right he would come here, Cas, Wire, Paramatta or even union, dont kid yourself about 'mates'

Not kidding myself about anything, I never said he would re-sign with us, I just said the words that came from his mouth!

It's not a case of "trying harder" as fortunately, we have a coach who can beat off competition to attract class players to Craven Park.

Time will tell where he ends up. Maybe more chance of regular 1st team rugby in the lesser side might be the better long term option rather than having to compete against finished articles in Walker and Webster.

Walker is a poor centre and if your really consider yourself to know your rugby then you would agree with that.

As a backrower he's potential GB material.

Step forward Craig Hall..

I guess Welham is not that good then
