He would be a bench-warmer at best if he went home, whereas he has a chance to play 5/6 years in SL from what I have seen of him already. It's not that he's that good, I just can't see a better option at this stage, and there are plenty of clubs in the market for a decent full back this time around.

I tend to agree, I'm still not massively impressed but to be fair to the lad many Aussies with much much (i.e. some) higher profile's come over and take longer to adapt than half a season.

He is showing signs of suddenly improving, his last three games have shown week on week improvement.

Not that I recall.

With the club having announced his departure I assume it is a ship that has sailed.

Regards Sheriff - he's 20 in September, so you'd hope he isn't miles away from being able to challenge for the fullback spot, if you've got hopes for him at all.

James Laithewaite coming to Rovers on loan from Warrington...?

Who we don't need a full back on loan this season Mcdonnell doing a grand job it's next season we need to think about

Laithwaite is 2nd row/loose forward, looks like he's got a good future ahead of him, so there could be some truth in the rumour.

I went to my 1st game in 86 (challenge Cup Final against Cas) but didn't start posting regularly on here until recently. I did try and break the news on here when Gavin Miller re-signed for us but for some reason I couldn't (I think the site was down or something) That must mean I'm a band wagoner too.

I must be a bandwagonner too. . .

I replied to the Hull fans post questioning Gingers support of the club only for it to dissapear along with one or two other fans posts, what happened?

PM the MODS mate. They've also taken the trolls post away.

I reported it, bang out of order naming people on a public forum.

Although I'm a right whinging moaner alot of the time with regards to moderators, fair play to them here, acted quickly.

I aggree, publicly naming someone is not the done thing imo, just a shame that he or she wasn't able to recieve my two-pennies worth in reply to their ridiculous comment,

Just been mentioned on radio manchester rugby phone in this rumour.

Dont worry im also a bandwagonner!
Aparently been in the middle of the Atlantic on a ship isnt a good enough excuse for some people. Life in the big blue my fellow shippers!


The derby afew years back was funny when going over the little walkway some lovely female FC fan said we were all jumping on the superleague wagon - i obviously told here its hard fighting for your country too save your fat rectum. Then gladly pointed out the extra 10k FC had since going to the KC...







All in all, i slated the signing of Hodgson saying its a signing thats going knowhere and if he keeps this recent form up i will gladly eat my own hat! So if Gleeson comes it will be with no pressure and lets hope he turns it on.

Dont forget to add a little salt and pepper beforehand plus a touch of good old English mustard.

Signed for next season as expected.

1 from 1 for me

I agree Eduardo Gonzalez-Rodriguez.

Yes, Sandra ia a Mexican.

how meny more gingers are we signing

Its the new black!

If you have signed this kid,I think you've got potentially the next england centre,he seem's to get better the older he gets,I'm gutted we didn't put a bid in for him,you've got a cracking player.

Jog on

Never rated him previously, but have been impressed with him this year.

Reminds me a bit of welham (When he was in form)' good in attack but needs work defense. Could turn out to be a smart move for rovers.

Maybe last chance for gleeson as at 24 this will be his 4th club.

6trys this season, about 29 trys in over 120 games(aprox)
1 in every 4games .
Misses 1 tackle out of every 6 .... Good signing ? Time will tell ay

If our coach wants him, he's good enough for me. At 24 he's got his best years in front of him. He might struggle on a pub crawl round Cas, but that's his only negative.

He would be a light weight on a night out in cass but might hold his own in timber dock with o'hara and the girls
