Atkin could be a new Rob Burrow or dare I say it, Millward. Bit too early but the signs are there. Look to build the side around him.


The new roger millward? Are you on crack? He's shown the odd glimpse of something but he'll never get anywhere near the standard millward was. It's like me calling abdul the next Johnny whiteley

I did say it's a bit early, but after watching him regularly (unlike FC fans) there is definitely more than an odd spark. When the rest of the team were rubbish against Wigan he single handedly scored. That is just one small example.

If course, he might end up being yet another false dawn like Marsh but there are definite signs there and he is young enough to build on for the future if he keeps improving.

Well it's subjective but I hope the op isn't in charge of our recruitment and retention

If the club stay up they need to sign SL quality players .
We need players with the ilk of Benny Galea, Micky Vella, Benny the Fish, Fitzy , Clint Newton ,Dobbo etc.

Rovers recruitment has been very poor the past few seasons , the Chairman needs to stop taking fans for granted . The arrogance needs to stop .

Jam tommorow .

The Aussie salary cap means there won't be anymore stars or even decent players coming just players who are injury prone or have a lot of baggage the best you can hope for is an unknown that turns out to be a gem

Bang on Francis.

Back in those days of Galea, Vella, Newton etc, the gap between the SL & NRL cap was way smaller than it is now, making it much easier to sign players. Even looking at the crop FC brought over for 2016 (Fonua, Pritchard, Manu & Tuimavave), it'd be impossible to get that same value for money now. In some cases, players can earn more playing 2nd tier in Aus than they can in SL.

Clubs now have to be much more savvy in their recruitment & retention, or throw money around in transfer fees. I think the younger players Rovers have recruited have been decent, like Mulhern, Minns, Oakes, Atkin etc, mixed in with a couple of promising academy products.

The issue is the average Joe contingent like Lee, Tickle, Jewitt, Clarkson, Scruton etc, which were necessary to enable Rovers to get back up and then to stay up. The OP is absolutely ridiculous in their expectations as it's quite clear Rovers are trying to build something much more longer term.
