TOO MUCH.


Don't have any idea but you raise a fair point, he's twice the player Peteresen is.

Hindsight i suppose plays a part.

No idea, but the point remains had there been enough money on the table then Fox would perhaps have stayed at Wakefield. Thats why the situations are different.

Middle of the table side ?

Don't let the mighty Robins hear you say that; they are the best team in the world never mind in super league



Fox is a quality winger and has progressed a lot signing for rovers but as you have said the main motivation in that move was £££££££££

By my reckoning i thought that fox had left the middle to bottom super league side that is wakefield and joined a more ambitious club in hull kr,and for far more money as well!
Who wouldnt do the same given the chance?

Why are they far more ambitious?

He means the clubs in more debt, i think

The lad's a professional, and a bloody good one at that. While he was in our employment he gave us his all and earned his money. When his contract was up KR thought he was worth more than we did - simple really, what would you in his position? We were letting players of the calibre of Semi, BJ etc. go without too much of a fight - we looked like a club without ambition. As it happens, JK is a genius and knew what he was doing, but I and many others did wonder at the time...

Good luck to him, I think he's a great prospect. No bitterness here.

Future England winger alongside young Ainscough

maybe.

You have to admire Justin Morgan, he certainly knows how to 'big up' KR As quoted on news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_l ... 039156.stm "I think he is a very ambitious person and ambitious player and I think that matches the club's ambition," Morgan said. "He's very keen to get some individual honours but he's also keen to get some team honours and he feels our club can provide that."

The thing we lack this season is real pace out wide Fox had this as did White Blanch is quick but noiwhere near as quick as these two we will miss him now this season we have nobody who can go 100 yards for a try
Wigan could expose our lack of pace in the centres and wings today on a dry Belle Vue track

They will no doubt try to and if it stays dry we may have problems, we've had loads of speed men at BV and we never gave them the ball or the chance to motor.

Sampson and frew for eg!! we left them stood out on wing to do nothing, not saying there were world class wingers but god could them lads shift........ nearly as fast as Sovatabua n Bright Sodje

Or KR could afford to offer him more. I wouldn't have thought anyone at Wakey under estimated how good Fox was however with another Club bidding for his services you can only go so high as you have to consider other players and strengthening in other areas.

I'm sure thats true, HKR had more funds available and we could not match that and strengthen the rest of the squad.


Foxys in danger of being the new Korki on here.

Completely agree. We should have given him the package we gave to Peterson as IMHO Fox is one of the best wingers in SL. Real loss for the club.

Why? Is Peterson on more than Fox was offered? Is he on more than Fox is at KR?

yea course he is. Thats why Fox left because we offered him peanuts.

Go on then ill ask.


Pertersens contract is ------------------------------

Foxy's contract is -------------------------------------


Fill in the dotted bits please.

Why of course? From what I understand we offered Fox as much as we could to keep him but KR beat it by some distance. Fair play he chose them. As for Peterson I see no reason why we would suddenly have come into any more money so at best would imagine he was offered the same money that Fox turned down.

thats whats annoying PEtersen is a no better player than fox what we have him for we could have kept Fox. Trust me we offered fox a really poor amount and you cant blame him for going im affraid.

So tell us the figures and how you know then. Also if you read what I put you will see that I put that Peterson would probably only have been offered what Fox turned down so how could we have got him for the same money?

only those 'in the know' would know the figures but I would be very suprised if the money fox wanted to stay was close to the money to get Peterson over from the gold coast and his other extras eg waterside flat etc

Happens a lot in football. Home grown or home national player leaves as not on what he considers fair or enough and club happy to replace him with a more expensive import. Also happens in regular jobs. Companies will reject pay rises of staff and when staff leaves pay a replacement more.

and it is working, at the beginning of the season he stated that his intentions was to finishing at the top of league, and I laughed it off,
I shall hold my hand and say that I was wrong, KR are proving that the tide can turn





and so have we can we keep it up

Shame he can't stop bigging Thaler up, JM is doing a great job but lets just give it time first.

Having talked to Foxes relatives Wakefield had offered him a pittance .....lets say he would not have come under 25 @ £25000 rule by a very long way (he could have made more money playing part time rugby and getting a job in a factory then the full time playing contract Wakefield offered) .....Rovers put him on the 25 @ £25000 when originally signed. From what i gathered Peter took Rovers first offer as it was far more then the offer he received.
