What do you guys think to signing Matt Cook on a 2 year deal from the start of next season? Great prospect and under Morgan's guidance he could well become a future international IMO.

News will be officially annouced within the next 3 weeks.

I'm very happy at this news, although backrow forwards are not my idea of a priority recruitment.

A couple of years back he was looking like a great prospect, but he appears to have lost his way a little. Maybe a change of clubs is what the kid needs. Plus, McNamara doesn't know his arris from his elbow so I expect he will automatically improve under a decent coach.

Why is Mallo just giving Crocker the final once over in Aus as we speak then?

You may find this hard to believe, but I don't have any idea? I never even realised Billy wasn't at Salford last night.

As for Crocker, my comments about not prioritizing a back rower still stand, especially given the cap space he would demand. However, if he can play hooker, I may have to re-think.

Can Murrell play hooker?

In my opinion, not really. He's found his best position at 13 and deserves to stay there. I'm not in favour of Rovers recruiting any more Aussies, even if that harms the team in the short term. Looking further down the line, the club would benefit from a gradual reduction on overseas staff.

God, thats a bit too serious for a Sat night when the Leffe is still kicking in!

I agree with your sentiments, but since Crocker's in the bag, you'd have to pick him at 13 over Murrell, surely. Unless Newton moves to prop?

Morgan has been quoted as saying he sees Murrells future in the hooking role so yes.

Murrell Can play hooker very well and did so in the derby at the KC.

There's the answer then. Murrell at 9, back 3 Newton, Galea, Crocker. Impressive.

I'd switch Galea to loose man if it was out of those 3.

No "if" about it. The only unanswered question is who the second overseas signing is. Mannering is favourite - can never have too many back rowers.

Give us the link to KR website then mate and ill have a look.

You're just being silly now. Hudgell promised 2 "top drawer" signings 2 months ago to coincide with Club Rovers 2010 launch, and Mallo's checking them out in Australia as we speak. Can't confirm it on the website until Mallo's finished his supervision of the medicals. Do keep up.

So because our Chairman said something about a subject that makes you jump to conclusions on another subject, And im the 1 being silly.






'In the bag' and 'Confirmed' just 2 comments you have made on 2 threads on the subject I have asked you for a link to back up your comments.
Apparently you are talking you usual line of BS though so ill not bother waiting.

Why so uptight? Since you're stalking my posts, you'll see that there are 15 threads in the last 8 weeks alone, all citing players signing for Rovers. That's excluding the generic "rumoured signings" threads. Notice that you're not on all of them demanding confirmation links to the Rovers website.

'I dont have confirmation so ill do my usual trick and send him to sleep'.
Thought as much

Apparently Clint is willing to take a pay cut to get Crocker under the cup if he possibly signs for Rovers.

Amazing.

Crocker
Tate
Mannering
Halatau
L'Estrange
Tony
Crabtree
Griffin
Maguire
Hall
Cook
Gibson
Brough
Gilmour
Diskin

this is the list given by Mrs B
Can only find these names in the last 10 weeks

Griffin
Tony
Gibson
Crocker
Cook
Diskin
Rooney
L'estrange

There may be more, but its interesting that the post says all cited as signing for Rovers excluding the generic rumour posts, and she does use the term 15 threads, lets clear some of them up.

Name,...............original posters comments.

Griffin...............What do you think?
Tony.................Should we be interested?
Gibson..............Read this on a Leeds thread.
Cook................Could be on his way to you (Bulls Fan)
Diskin...............Posted by someone with still only 1 post


Crocker............You heard it here first (Roofs)


Rooney.............Heading to East Hull? (Gordon Gekko)
L'Estrange.........Personally I think Rovers should look at Heath.

This all goes to show that Mrs B is not just sad, but also doesn't understand the meaning of Cited as signing for Rovers

Or what 8 weeks are.

grffin has just signed a new deal at the giants phil i believe

He's going to captain us to a Wembley win next year? Excellent news!

Should have read cap. But yes it is still a possibility if Vella does not retain the captaincy.

Talk of Crocker is rubbish. But Cook? It won't be three weeks, next week it is open season on signings.

L'Estrange has signed for the Bulls.

Still my favourite!!
