Has he been playing in the reserves? rumours on the widnes messageboard say he could be coming back to us or going to the new south wales scorpions, just seems odd keeping him if he is never going to play.

I gather it's been more a case of not being able to get rid of him so far as he's contracted until the end of the season and didn't want to leave.

Seems mental to me, can't really like the game all that much if he'd rather not play. Fair enough he's getting a decent wedge to sit on his fat back side, but whose going to offer him a contract at the end of the year?

A championship side, he will pick up a club no problem in that league.

found the new one to slag he should have gone before cookie useless turd

Big chap, does panto occasionally. Or am I thinking of someone else?

It's fine slagginging of but he hardly set the world alight when we signed him and yet Morgan thought fit to give him another 2 year deal.

He was steady , but unspectacular in his first season - being selected for most games. He was solid in defence , and in attack although he didn't break the line much he still attracted the defence in numbers.
His second season saw him just make a hand full of appearances.

Reserve Grade - isn't the most intense level , but by all accounts he didn't appear to put a great deal of effort in.

Be a very good signing for a championship club, but would they pay him anything like what he's earned at quins/rovers? Probably why he's still here.

from what I've heard in the past from a reliable source is the problem is not that he doesn't want to play, he's not a very good trainer, never has been that's why he's struggled to get anywhere near the squad in the last 2 years, when he first came the squad wasn't as strong so rightly or wrongly I reckon allowances were made to accomodate him.

I was talking to a friend of mine after the game last week who works within the club, he said That Mills was on 40 grand, i'm not sure whether he meant that was over one year or two.

Yeah it will be 2. I mean 20k a years enough for a full time rl player with a family.

Works hard in defense but no star in attack. I made a comment about Netherton and had loads of abuse with that as the respnse. I would take Mills over Netherton any day. Puts the work in in defense and takes more stopping in attack. Both British unless mistaken.

Im so glad your not the coach then.

Beat me to it. You only have to watch Netherton in action to see he is a far better and COMMITTED player than Mills ever was or is likely to be.

In my opinion Netherton is a very hard working and committed player, and an unsung hero. Unfortunately Mills does not have half the desire or heart shown by by Nev.

take him, NOW, please.....

didnt break the line much??? the guy would struggle to break wind......hes rubbish, a big softie, if he had a bit of heart hed be ok, maybe he needs a trip down the yellow brick road to see the wizard that is Pau Cullen at Widnes...

mills has been a very poor signing in my opinion, one of which has him rotting in the reseves on a healthy chunk of salary cap no doubt......ive seen mills in many occasions playing for the reserves and he doesnt stand out one bit compared to other first teamers who have played reserve footy for one reason or another....
as soon as rovers get rid, the better for both parties

I was told £45K per Season

I think Sheldon was being sarcastic. No idea if your figure is correct, but to put it into context, if a club is spending up to the cap on its top 25 players, each of those will on average be earning about £60k. Bearing in mind that your career is over in your mid-30s and doesn't provide you with too many transferable skills, that isn't that much.

Problem we had is that Mills signed on a 1 year contract. In that year he looked the part hence why Rovers gave him an extended 2 year deal. After signing that contract 2/3rd through that year he then put his feet up. The sooner he is off the books the better a complete waste of money. If he is on the rumoured 45k then thats shocking. A fully fit RL player paid 90k over 2 years and playing once is bad buisness.

I doubt he is on that much,he was touted round the super league and nobody wanted him,not even celtic,so he took less money than he was on in his first year he was at rovers.

return to widnes on the cards
