Dont get me wrong, I really think we need a new direction, But Impact players are needed too.

Looking like we coming out of the ill fated COHA in better position than the enemy. Couple of class new signings. Just need to avoid 12th.

To be Honest Craig.....I think we need a total shake up and new approach. What have we really done since we first got promoted?

Depends what ‘it’ is. After the last few years many might say that a serious challenge for top 8 in SL would be a big stride forward. I might be one of them, tbf.

To me it feels like when we’ve had a clear idea of what we wanted to achieve we’ve done a pretty good job of reaching our goals. Under Morgan and our first two seasons after Sheens took over. During the Sandercock-Chester-Peacock era we lacked direction or impetus or... something.

Sadly, I think this season has been a bit after the lord mayor’s parade following the (actually pretty tortuous, if successful and cathartic) promotion and survival campaigns. What we’ve lacked more than anything is props, but a couple of bright moments aside it has been flat. That worries me - London have a target they can be excited about trying to hit. For us it feels like another long trudge, and it will be tougher to get and stay motivated for the relegation battle.

I get that and since Morgan the 4th and 7ths in league it's been mainly poor fare under Sandy and Chester. Sheens got us up,kept us up but this season so far has been a chore.Yes it's been freakish injury (But apparently we aren't allowed that excuse) .it does sound like a overhaul is imminent and we start again. Hearing lots of positive news about to break but feel the real threat of relegation again leaves us unable to plan anything past this season.The club seem unworried about 12th bit I certainly am.

Depends if they meant really going for relegation/championship.

Ford is not the answer.

Whatever is going on, it seems that now we're joint bottom half way through the season, something has just clicked into gear behind the scenes. Time will tell if it means anything.

I would love to know why you think this, I honestly don't know who will be better off, do you have some inside information?

Let's be honest we have heard lots of things from Rovers the last few years, great recruitment, world class coach, will challenge this year or best youngsters in the city.

Not too many have happened, so no offence Craig, I'll wait and see what happens with the academy before saying who is better off.

Don't take it so personally Dave.Im sure you've read the same comments I have on the subject..I don't follow the youth scene but there are a couple of lads on both sides who do and they tend to be factually correct when they comment but yes lots of meat yet to be put on bone.

Ive only seen stuff on facebook and twitter, but I think I know who you are talking about, knows his junior rugby for sure, although is a Rovers fan, so will have some bias.

I'm fairly confident we will be fine, I have every faith in Pearson and radford, people keep writing them both off (Including me at points) but they keep proving us all wrong.

I’ve always liked Radfords honesty in interviews you know your going to get the truth and not just paying lip service the thing that annoys me about Sheens at the minute

I think he can be to honest at times.

Would you keep Sheens?

A coach that is losing a lot can’t do right, in that regard imo.

If they keep saying the same things people get bored and ask why nothing changes. They say something different and they can’t make up their minds. If they’re dispassionate they’re accused of not caring but if they show emotion, they’re having a meltdown or have lost it. Holding the players accountable is hanging them out to dry, protecting them makes him a soft touch.

Fans want to vent their frustrations and words can’t change it, only wins.

Put Sandercock’s downbeat interviews alongside a winning run and we’d have all liked that he was steady, even tempered, focused and didn’t take anything for granted, i’m sure.

T Minns back in the Famous Red and White

Im happy with this TBH.

I’ve been very impressed with what he’s said on the podcast he was on recently, and his interview on HKRTV.

It’d be great to see him go well for Rovers and secure a longer term contract.

no problem with that, but it would have been more exiting if he was a hooker who was returning, we need one

Agreed. Think he knows he dropped a clanger and wants to repay the Board and Coach with what he does best. Can see him coming back firing wanting a long term deal.

Without getting into the morals of drugs in sport im glad he's back. Himself and Livermore at City it's hard not to sympathise with imo. Paid the penalty and comes back with fresh start and probably appreciates his second chance. We will see.

Minnsie isn't such a bad bloke and there's a whole other debate about the use of recreational drugs. Didn't an England cricketer recently get a ban of all of 21 days? He's been left out of the England squad but is already back playing for his county.

As I say that's another debate. Minnsie has served his ban and it is now up to him to not to blow his second chance. Welcome back Minnsie....don't go making us regret this please.

But do we need another centre right now?

He's probably far from match fit as well.

Can train from June1. Play July 15th. Extra body in the backs and will be looking to impress for a new contract.A hooker or prop may have been more use but wouldn't be surprised to see that happen anyway.

Was a fan of Minns and remain so. Seems to be passionate about the club and I believe in second chances so pleased in some ways. However, he can't play until late July so it does not improve our current situation. He may add something to the team when fit but believe we have more pressing areas than , especially with Quinlan on the verge of coming back freeing Hall up. Not a signing I expected / would have wanted at this stage after just releasing two props.

I'm really happy with this. Quality centre who knows his way to the line.

Yes and when Quiney comes back in at fullback try hall at loose forward is dad moved their and was good he might take to it you never know

Vaivai and Oakes to York on a month long loan.
