| I have disagree about Whiting,strong runner and always makes good yards, also has good hands, hand off and offload.
Lauaki is awful IMO, does about one good run a game, poor defence, very lazy in attack and defence.
The fact that he has been here nearly 3 years and I can remember one excellent game, a few average ones and lots of poor ones, says it's own story.
I wouldn't have him in the 17 at the moment, would rather play Green, Cunningham or Kent in his place, not a chance of this happening with Agar in charge though.

| Quote ="berro's best mate"lets be honest, all this talk of one or two players needed to make us into a top team is utter tosh....
in my opinion we need a massive overhaul if were going to be challenging let alone winning anything
1. mckinnon...injury prone, dury is out
2. sharp/lynne- not good enough simples
3. gleeson- heads gone, cant see him playing for fc again
4.yeaman...great centre, could pass a little more tho
5. briscoe - looks a worldbeater, should go to nrl
6. horne- finished, how he got a 2 year deal is beyond me
7. seymour- good player with alot of baggage, dury's out
8. dowes- get rid, plodder
9. houghton- good player will be better in the near future
10. o'meley- best prop weve got maybe in the league aswell
11. luaki/radford - hot head too inconsistant, and plodder past his best
12. fitz...retire please, whilst weve still got the memories.
13 - washbrook. get rid, hasnt improved since his debut season
14. westerman - class act....
15. obst...keep, worthy of a cover spot
15. heremaia- durys out after failing to impress at leigh,halifax and widnes..
16. whiting - great brain, too slow, cover for injuries.
17. manu.- best second rower in the league on his day..
18. tickle- consistant as they get, great kicker
just in my opinion...'"
Good summary for me. Too many people get carried away by our squad

I'd agree about Whiting, I think he's underated, I'd like to see how he would perform at loose forward. Lauaki, can be a liability but I find him entertaining to watch. My mate summed him up when we went to watch Hull vs Harlequins last year, when he comes on, everything seems to happen around him, unfortunately its invariably a penalty to the opposition. As the other posters have commented, he does seem to have calmed down a bit.

Not sure if these players are OOC but would look to try and sign Kyle Amor or Danny Kirkmond, i'd also keep an eye on the Griffin situation.
If Pearson is willing to spend some money I would target Larne Patrick and Craig Kopchak (spelling).'"
Not much chance of getting Kirmond or Patrick. Dale Ferguson could possibly be available.

Got to say, the thought of Fox did cross my mind. Of course, not as good as Briscoe , he [iwas[/i an international winger not so long ago. He's got the skill, just latent at the moment.
Once free of the circumstances that have engulfed him at Rovers there is no reason he wouldn't come good again. He'll be cheap as Morgan wants rid and he's British. Just not sure if Hull is far away enough from Rovers for a suitable (ahem) "recovery space". Better immediate potential than Lyne and better defensively than Sharp?

| I'd take Fox. He's done well in the past - England international a couple years back - but for whatever reasons he's had a poor season this year. However, I'd take him over Sharp and think he would improve our backline.

His wing would be safer than Sharp's at the moment. Still think Sharp has great attacking potential, glimpses of which we've seen already. Wish we'd seen more than one crazy accelerating run down the pitch . Appetite whetted for more.
As for Fox - strikes me that there'll be a reason for such a dramatic loss of form. Think Rovers are throwing the baby out with the bathwater, although I don't think it was Fox that made it murky in the first place. You don't lose skill like that. It's still there and will be back with the right treatment. Someone will pick up a cheap bargain, there.

| quite simple really you dont become rubbish overnight having been players player and player of the year , to been the boo boy and fall guy ok made mistakes so does our star winger , all he needed was a decent chance to regain his confidence but been heckeld every mistake does not help , bit like fox his confidence is shattered when the coach makes it plain he is not flavour of the month , if most can remember moa dropped a ball near the line on sky tv months ago and you could see agar shout get him off having just gone on . what im saying is the coach should of stuck by him and improved him .

Fox has never actually been that good IMO, and by all accounts is an out-and-out left winger. Why on Earth would we want him?

We wouldn't, given our current set-up. But the thought, as I said, did cross my mind. I think he is leaving because of the demands of Morgan, and Morgan will therefore stay at Rovers.
Fox will be a bargain for someone. I do rate him, and hope he comes back to bite Rovers on the harrassment. If Briscoe had developed as expected into a centre, I wouldn't have said no.
