My thoughts too .

Was told that rovers are paying linton brown twice what he was earning at hull city (tigers)

Why would they do that even if they had the money? Makes no commercial or financial sense at all.

Also seems to run contrary to his recent winges in the media about how much he's spent on City and how he wasn't going to spend any more. Now he's apparently happy to chuck millions at Rovers - money that he'll never get back or see a return on - just to get one over on someone he had a falling out with nearly 2 years ago? Makes no sense whatsoever.

small change to him

still makes no business sense, plus for all the money he is allegedly willing to spend who have they signed, looking at?

So why couldn't they hold on to Micky Paea then?.

We'd lost Paea because he was out of contract and we couldn't match Hull FC's offer to him.

People make reference to the Allams but I personally feel we haven't actually got fresh investment and have gone down the route of financial stability via cost cutting and operating again with a lower salary cap, Sandercock makes reference lately especially on a particular interview on hullkr.tv that he's running a tight ship, with a thinnish squad next year, Plus Mike Smith talking about the importance of the young players coming through.

I feel that the arrival of the new directors is a way of giving the club new ideas, especially on the commercial front with Rovers finally been able to have use of corporate boxes to entertain clients and increased capacity with decent seats and views, So like I've said I'd be surprised if we actually had significant investment.

Rovers have got new backers

Didn't you cost cut this season and end up 60k short of full cap? The only cost cutting I can see is to your youth structure.

Another clown who has a hatred of Hull Fc. Or that's the way it comes across on radio. He'll be sat in Hudges office plotting our downfall

Fook'em all

Good quality acquisitions from the NRL, some good young English players also. Must admit it does beggar belief that they also want cockayne.

Not saying the rumour is true BTW, just what I was told

So how come you're making cash offers for players?

You might be surprised.

Plus, small change or not, he's publicly stated his reluctance to spend any more on his pet project so throwing the thick end of £1m per year at Rovers would seem odd behaviour to say the least.

So far their confirmed signings are some decent NRL players. That's it, unless I've missed something. Which good young English players have they signed?

We'll find out this coming week, it says on his board, possibly tomorrow. Amor is an impressive acquisition for them, it's true. Very good player.

Expext Union winger Tom Biggs to replace Tom Briscoe next season. It's been on the cards for a few years.

Who's he?

This is a great, left-field rumour.

Strongest, fittest player at Bath apparently, had England RU call-up
Modelling this season's kit by having it painted on his naked torso
FC season passholder.

Marvellous

Hull born former Leeds Carnegie winger.

The only cash bid we know about with any certainty is the one for Cockayne. He's 30 now, and even his biggest fans would, I assume, accept that while he is a versatile and determined player, he's competent rather than spectacular. And Wakefield kb'd it, so I'm assuming it wasn't a megabucks deal.
I'd be delighted if we did get Amor, but I'm not holding my breath.

I used to play U14's sunday league football against this kid, he was always tiny! Good larker tho... Can't believe he's playing pro rugby now!
