I would go for:

1. Briscoe

2. Fox
3. Welham
4. Webster
5. Colbon

6. Murrell (depending on Cooke's injury)
7. Dobson

8. Fozzard
9. Fisher
10. Mills

11. Newton
12. Vella

13. Galea

14. Cockayne
15. Maka
16. Wheeldon
17. Stan

i like the idea of having Vella in the second row too, he was spot on there in the 2nd half of last season
its a tough one too between Welham and Walker, im not sure wholl get the nod TBH
maybe we could go with the backs like this, Fox,Whelam,Walker,Webster??? power and pace.
if everyones fit our team pics it self, just the subs bench to decide

this is our line up if everyones fit.
Briscoe
Fox
Walker
Webster
Colbon
Cooke (Galea if Cookes out)
Dobson
Fozzard
Fisher
Vella
Newton
Stan
Murrell

Cockayne
Fitzhenry
Macca
Mills

but id like to see Whelam and Watts in there personally

See you all at Odsal a week tomorrow.

i think EL Camo team is pretty much the strongest team we could field but i would maybe go with fitzhenry on the bench inplace of stanley

Fitzy is injured.

oh yeah groin i forgot silly me

Briscoe

Welham
Walker
Webster
Fox

Cooke
Dobson

Vella
Fisher
Fozzard

Newton
Galea

Murrell

Cockayne
Gene
Aizue
Mills

No Wheeldon?

£50k to sit in the stands

Better than £150 k to sit in a pub in aus

History has shown its a mistake to put players in the starting line up based on what they earn.
Hutch Maivia being a good example.
And as i posted the team that i think will line up as opposed to the one Justin Morgan will actually pick who is to say Wheeldon wont be the the 17.
If he has done enough in pre season and on the training ptch he might get picked.

Yet more drivel from Mrs "Database" Barista...



It's called "strength in depth", something your team lacks in a big way.

Anyway, my team would be (assuming Fitzhenry isn't fit):-

Briscoe

RW Colbon
RC Webster
LC Walker
LW Fox

Left side Cooke
Right side Dobson

Vella
Fisher
Fozzard
Right side Newton
Left side Galea
Murrell

Cockayne
Gene
Mills
Aizue

18th: Lovegrove

Shame about Fitzhenry, been one of the standouts during the frendlies at starting hooker

Doubt it, based on what has been posted on his performances so far. You obviously still believe signing Wheeldon was a massive coup for Rovers, though, given your sig.

Or how much for James Webster for one game, not to mention ( in out, in out, shake it all about) Dykes

Very good

Think you'll find what you paid James Webster in respect of the remainder of his contract far outweighed what we paid him.

Wrong, we paid James off to bring in Dodson, master stroke.
Hull fc took James on and paid him for around 4 months, great bit of business.

Anyway Dykes

Incorrect as usual. You paid out Webster's contract on 2nd May - SL season contracts run to 30 November, so that's 7 months pay. We signed him on a short term deal from July 9 to September 25th, 2 and a half months pay. Still a waste of money, like.

You're really stupid, Look we paid James off, that's what contracts are, He would no longer feature for us so we paid him off to bring in Dobson
( from under Hull fc's noses) we had our moneys worth, thanks to James we're in the S/L, on the other hand Hull fc paid him £1000s for one game, like i said good business isn't it, so when's Crocker coming

So from the period 2 May to 30 November:
You paid him 7 months pay and he did nothing for your club
We paid him 11 weeks pay and he played a game and was involved in the coaching side.

It does not matter who paid him or when I know two ex Hull FC young players who have both told me he taught them loads about the game, and felt they have improved since training with him.

I would rather have Webster in my squad than Cooke any day of the week, the guy is awesome to have around young kids and I am sure even Steve Mc is learning from him right now.

OMG you really are thick, WE LET HIM GO AND PAID HIM OFF.

Exactly. So in real terms you were still paying him for the 11 weeks he was at Hull FC. Assuming you paid him on time, obviously.

Sigh, Don't you have any cooking to do.
