Any truth in the rumours that we have signed Manuel Sanchez, he's a Mexican Standofficon_smile.gif

Indeed, after monrhs of searching we finally land Phelps & Obst, how incredibly ambitious.

Liked the piece about Phelps 'looking for Silverware'


WTF has he come here for then??

i saisd months back..this club is a shambles and our recruitment drive is little short of[size=200EMBARRASSING[/size

He means he's lost the cutlery set his granny left him

It reminds me of the 90's when we used to sign the cast offs from the big clubs and convince ourselves they were really good players.

No doubt there'll be plenty on here telling us what a great signing obst is

Not a great signing but a useful one. I would say he is a better player than Fisher/Hodgson at Rovers so using him as hooking cover for Houghton would be an improvement on the squad. I am thinking purely in terms of this season.

Seems doubtful as his signing has been trailed for weeks and not one person has called him great so far.

Obst for a year would be a decent signing imo. Hes not a bad player and would put another pivot on the pitch, unless Agar plays him in the second row of course

LOL, BETTER THAN FISH, HODGSON



SOUR GRAPES? JUST TWO OF THE PLAYERS THAT RIPPED YOU APART YESTERDAY






Ive done it green, to mirror your jealous envy.lol

Things are bad at the minute for us pal, but not bad enough to envy them 2

Okaaaaay

So we'd rather sign Sam Obst for a year, than bring in a 22 year old gareth Moore who everyone can see has potenial and can learn from Longy.

Great!

Very good point.

Can Moore cover hooker?

Gareth Moore is rumoured to be a big mate of tanseys who also likes his beer, obst isn't the type of player I would be looking at bit unfortunately we have put ourselves in this position and we are rushing to sign somebody now, obst will do a job at the end of the day he's better than nothing!

Says so on his player profile, yes.

Sam Obst is an Aussie though so that makes him great !




Moore should be signed asap.

Obviously id pick Obst over Fisher and Hodgson but i thought the latter changed the game when he came on.

Why has it taken so long for Agar to realise he doesnt want Washbrook at 9. He must have knew when Berro left wether he wanted an other hooker to go along with Houghton and yet we still havent got one.

I said the main reason we lost yesterday was because we're a dumb team but i just think the full set up are so slow and thick.

Dont worry Obst, Moore and Phelps will be second rowers before we know it

obst is not better than fisher as 9. nowhere near. Usefull signing for a waferthin squad but come on.

At Super League level? I've heard he's just not good enough at this standard.

Theres only one way to find out.

Alot said that about Briggs, he made a good start in his SL career.

He didn't do bad imo.

Let's sign all the better lower league players just to see if they're good enough while we're at it!
