must have missed that bit, thanks!

No worries, if the rumours are to be believed, maybe he strained his elbow lifting heavy pints the night before missing training

or maybe he'd been sat in the sun, head to one side holding it up with one arm, contemplating his place in the universe, and got terrible cramp?

This is Westy we're talking about, my theory is definitely more plausible

Kopczak and Casty on the market. Quite like both of them.

I`d have Casty any day of the week

Yes, although not sure about his injury record.

Would anybody fancy kenny Edwards

Would Edwards get a visa to play in England?
Very good player

another rumour on facebook re masoe

Who's made it up this time?

Are we sure it's not Masoe trawling Facebook forums and posting things, in the hope of engineering a move to a big club!

It's bonkers. Masoe and Vaivai are their top players, not a chance they'd leave their re-signing to chance.

I would assume that by now decisions have been made on Mini, Manu and Talanoa. Often announcements of departures are timed to coincide with new signings so wonder when that will be.

Well 1 out 2 ain't bad Mrs B. Masoe

I've heard that Junior Vaivai has signed (for us), but who knows?

Not true I'm afraid, option in Rovers favour and they're keeping him. Seems a player alright.

Id heard we’d enquired about him and kenny Edwards who’s just joined Catalan . Manu staying apparently.

Well if they're all staying we don't have a quota spot. Big challenge to bring fed trained quality in.

Seems mixed opinion but plenty seem to think Talanoa, Mini and Manu will all stay. If so the squad for next year would be along these lines; OOCs in red. Apart from the back row, looks pretty settled. Think at least one of Washy, Abdull and Westerman will go personally. And I'd be getting extensions in place for Taylor and Sneyd as soon as possible.

Connor has to classed as a first choice right centre when everyone is fit
In my opinion we are still short of a big mobile Masila type of second row irrespective of whether Mini and Manu stay or not.
I would still be looking to play Josh Griffin in the second row next season if we dont sign another back row.
Jack Downs looks a better option now in the second row than Turgut and maybe thats as a result of regular games at Doncaster so if we keep him another year he needs to go out on loan from the start of the season or let him go.
I would also release Washbrook and Abdull now that we have Westerman.
Not sure we will keep Ross Osbourne.

Osborne impressive for Donny today apparently

Personally I'd let talanoa go only because we have enough outside backs. Move Griffin to wing and play Connor at centre with miloudi and Logan covering 1 to 5

Can't see why we like Vai Vai ( who I have been impressed with), when we have three very good centres, plus a couple of good young backs.

I'd keep Talanoa for one more year.

Think we won't have much movement I expect us to bring in two forwards, one to replace Manu (who I think will go)

I think we’ve activated his contract extension he has been a welcome surprise seeing as he was playing basically park football and had done his knee 3 times
