Don't beat about dave, roopy told us con mika would be the best forward in the league.., knows about as much as Hudgell, Smith and Crossland put together...i.e all....

Rovers are in the biggest mess since 1989 and this recruitment reminds me heavily of that relegation and subsequent nearly 20 years in the wilderness..hope you all applaud the gang of three when they lead us back to that wilderness...

Embarrassing, redundant, pathetic , useless , self interested...

If Rovers are not 1/50 to finish bottom four the bookies want their staff want sacking...

go on then, whats your solution, vote with our feet to get rid of the gang of three? then what!! Working on your logic would we be better off if NH / RC took their money and left? Is their a queue of people waiting to throw money away

I'm pretty sure I didn't - but fair enough - I'm wrong as often as I'm right about players.

ARE you sure you are a rovers fan and not a hull fan if you truly are a rovers fan but I doubt it you are clearly

If you genuinely are a rovers fan,do us a favour and go and support fc,we dont need so called "fans" like you. Ta !

Problem is he hasn't been in form for at least the last 3 years, although injuries have played a big part.

Linked with Dureau today, better signing than Campese IMO, although still a risk for a player who has hardly played first team in two years.

We don't want him as we already have enough moaning fookers.

Although if be tempted for a straight swap with Standee.

Agree dureau is a much better signing than campese,and as roopy reported a few weeks ago been ripping it up in the NSW cup and back to his best, kelly would do for me as his partner. Would be happy with that.

Touché...

I suppose I downplayed Widdop more than I should have, but after a red hot start to the season that got him most of those Dally M points, he couldn't maintain it.

I would also b much happier with Dureau and Kelly out of the names mentioned.

Thanks,but no thanks.

The legion of doom Voltaire is back for the record roopy never said mika would be a world beater how he actually described him was 100% right in fact but don't let the facts get in the way of your agenda and if you really think the bookies will have rovers 50_1 on to finish bottom four you know nothing about betting

I'm a massive Dureau fan. Have been since he was 17 and I first saw him in an under 18s trial.
But I have to say that the only coach who has ever got a lot out of him is Trent Robinson, and he only got a lot out of him by letting him do whatever he wants to do.
I do think Dureau kicking for Mantellato will lead to a lot of tries. Scotty will find the big guy, and the big guy will catch the ball.

See, this is a perfect example of why people shouldn't post when staggering in from town at half 2 in the morning. I'm sure he will be back to say sorry when he's slept off the effects. That is if there wasn't a chip pan fire at the care home.

Despite lacking Sandra's eloquence, this for me is in the running for post of the week!!

Todd carney has conditionally been allowed to sign a 3 year deal with catalans,with a £50,000 bond to be forfeited if he breaks the conditions.This must surely increase our chances of signing scott dureau. Fingers crossed.

For some reason i thought you were one of the ones with a brain Stan, but checking the old Mika thread just to make sure my mind was not playing tricks i see you were one of the usual suspects then who followed the Roopy pretense hook , line and sinker...some Rugby knowledge shared on there indeed....

Where is the "god" that is Sinbad Kali nowadays anyway...??? What a judge of player...what a judge of Rugby League...

This forum really has become the blind leading the braindead....

A bit like Rovers in fact...

I will reiterate at a later date because nothing is going to change soon.

What's your need with roopy Voltaire he just offers his opinion on players we've signed or are linked with as he's watched them first hand and seems a pretty good judge on the flipside what do you offer statements like were as bad off as we were in 1989 which is total nonsense I don't know what your agenda is really

Beef not need

I watched the Koori knockout comp today, and Maurice Blair wasn't very impressive. He played in the halves for the Newcastle Yowies and was outplayed by his halves partner AJ Davis, who is a kid the Knights sacked last year to make way for Dobson.
He probably didn't know many of his team mates, and Davis knew them all, but he should have looked better I think.

For someone that has only posted on this board 78 times you seem to know a lot I take it you have read all the posts over the years OR you are some one who has changed and used to be some one who got banned if not what is your problem

Oh Voltaire, you cut me to the quick. I'm going to have to consider who Iisten to in future now.

I wish it was 1989 if only for the music.

Voltaire is Larry Billey.

Makes sense, he was a bitter & twisted mofo as well

dureau and campese would be good business. Both an upgrade on the departing players if they can stay fit
