Real nice kid but not good enough to take us forward. Wish him well but not a fan of him at all.

Colbon next to go along with Vella

Fewings of the Mail said on Sportstalk tonight that attempting to bury the bad news of stalwart Briscoe's departure as a derisory footnote in the announcement about Galea was a "complete disgrace by that club".

It does seem a bit strange that they haven't let Briscoe tell his team mates first.

Cameron Phelps?

I agree about the mike smith quote. Unfortunatly we've not recruted a decent chief exc since Paul Lakin left. Christ, he even got our sponsership with sporting bet while he was in his new job at wolves. Doesn't say much bout our presant one does it!

I think he's doing a great job. Craven Park will be unrecognisable by the end of July [uand[/u SL's biggest ever signing? Lovely.

De-railing a bit from the news about Briscoe, though. As has been said, what a great servant he has been to rugby league in the city. I'm sure we all wish him the absolute best. You know when you can remember where you were at precise moments of receiving important news? I can remember exactly where I was when we found out he'd been taken to hospital with appendicitis and was going to miss the Challenge Cup final. A travesty he didn't get the opportunity. Great player, great bloke.

Well if its true Briscoe is going, I hope to god its Sheriffe or A N Other because if its Cockayne we are truely laughable.

And the fact that doesnt make me laugh is the reality of being a Rovers fan at present.

Why? He's a good player.

If he wasn't quota, he'd be a reasonable option.

Didn't we think we were getting Dave Halley at one point, or did I dream that?

Where's this from?

I agree, great guy and an ex-player to remember with fond memories. And I wish him all the best.
As the stadium to be unrecognisable by the end of July, then your hoping a bit ain't you!!! The east stand ext will now not be built. Apparantly not the demand to build it. Heard it first hand from the steering group meeting that they recently started. Better news for the north stand. But by the end of July???? Be lucky it's built by the start of next season.

Where else are you going to use the quota spot? If Clinton leaves of course.

In fact you've got room for Phelps and Lauaki.

Good luck to Shaun wherever he goes. Cracking bloke on and off the pitch. Gutted he's leaving our city for pastures new. I wonder if Rovers will have a look at Cameron Phelps? I will be puzzled if they keep Cockayne for the number 1 spot.
I don't know why but I get the feeling that Hudge is pulling all the strings with player retention etc. Would Morgan release Briscoe, why would they release him and it can't of been his decision to leave because he would not have put what he did no twitter re telling the boys he was leaving. Sorry my post seems rushed but the boss it on the prowl

By the report in the aussie papers this week a damn sight better then your incoming fullback, i'll give you that!

She's referring to the delay in extending the East and building the North Stands and the Mason farago.

10-5, Never win at Wembley, blah, blah, blah.

Mrs B got vibrate alert on again when she's mentioned. Your day must be long ecstasy session.

Oi, I'm the only one discussing Shaun himself on here.

Phelps is a good player IMO, not spectacular, but handy. Bit injury-prone unfortunately but would be a decent replacement assuming Slater's not coming.

The topic is Shaun Briscoe and his nearly 4 years at Rovers, Blakester. Not me.

Yes we do. If Clinton goes, we'd have 1 quota and 3 non-fed spots free.

Somebody like Lauaki, but ideally a bit better, would be a decent way to use a non-fed. A quality hooker, maybe, would be the best use of a quota spot.

Depends on what we're spending. If we're cutting costs, Phelps would be alright. A filled quota and non-fed place better than Halley - probably not.

Have you heard the saying. "don't believe everything you read" . This info was from a meeting chaired by the ch exc. From the horses mouth. All i can say is don't hold your breath.

Eh? in English please.

Yet he said only two weeks ago it will be built alongside the north stand. To say the demand to build the East extension isn't there is laughable. It's packed to capacity most games.

As for Briscoe a great servant to Rovers and a damn shame it's come out like it has. Rovers need to be ashamed ALA Paul Fletcher
