They probably have a full-time CEO who knows their Rugby League to do the 'McRae type role'.

I love a good bit of sarcasm. Very endearing to others.

Can one of the mods please get in touch with Hutchie and let him know that a sensible person appears to have hacked his account

:s:

Sorry got hacked at work !!!!!

McRae should go now, Gentles narked off with him so much that he's even banned players from bringing Pringles to training , the way Andy Last calls him Sir Shaun and gets him a full english every morning and he threw a right wobbler when Radders nipped to shop to get Ogre 20 Bensons.

Is Chase staying at Cas now? Wigan not in for him.

Is this still a rumour thread or have a go at mcrae thread haha

rumour has it danny brough 4year deal at hull , 150 k to giants ? Anyone heard this today

No

Good rumour this one. Plausible level of fee for length of contract foregone, we're after a HB. The fact Hudds aren't prepared to entertain us is a slight concern, but most pleasing story this week.

I was told mcdonnell, watts and lovegrove all in the bag, tickle to hudds with brough coming the other way

that's not how the lyrics of "I heard it through the grapevine" go......

They've stopped sending me the grapevine

and me, does it even exist anymore?

to be honest, it was garbage anyway, so it's not missed.

Well said.

People in the past complained (probably rightly) that the club didn't communicte with the supporters. Now McRae keeps people up to date as much as he is able and he is criticised. Can't please some people.

He is a popular figure with the media so he is going to be chased for stories more than most administrators.

Yes I've heard all 3 rovers players are done or agreed deals . But I work with broughs relation and he's said it's not true about him coming back . Of course he could lie , but don't see why he would with all the rumours about him signing .

I honestly think we can forget McDonnell, I don't know whether it is because we don't particularly rate him or perhaps he has made it clear to both Clubs that his intention is a return to Aus. all the vibes are wrong we would have got no comments or "we don't comment on rumours" from Bomber and Co, rather than brusk denials from both Clubs. By doing that they burn their boats. On this occassion I think that Humberside got it wrong, everyone make mistakes, although you would think G would know, but it certainly got people talking, if thats what they wanted however it seems to have wound a few up at our Club too. I could be proved wrong and just my thoughts of course, but I am pretty sure that he isn't staying at Rovers either.

Agreed, he's not coming!!

hope not

Brett Stewart has received a massive offer off a UK club.

Do you think he'd leave the NRL?

London Irish though and the SL clubs interested can't afford him. That's what the SMH article you read stated anyway presumably???

I try not to read those mate, saw it on this mornings news.

$3.5 million! Don't know how many years that will be over.

Apparently 4 and that's in the RFU's second division! Setaimata Sa and Shaun Edwards already there though.

"We don't comment on rumours" is a James Rule line. McRae has commented on rumours on a couple of occasions.

They're in the second division?

Isn't Edwards in Sydney now with Wales?
