The Addy loss was massive as I think he'd have ended up playing there alongside McGuire despite what some say about him being a loose forward. Unfortunately, things like that can't be preempted. I guess they thought Marsh and Atkin would be a suitable short term replacement. My worry for rovers is the lack of decent forwards. As has been said, you can have the best halfbacks in the world but if the forwards get mullered each week it's going to make their job very hard.

A good pack can often make poor halfbacks look alright. It rarely happens the other way around. Marsh/Atkin and McGuire aren't the worst partnership in the world if you can find a couple of high quality forwards to give them a platform.

Edited for accuracy.

Interesting comment in league Express about our well documented search for a half back.
Maybe we should be looking at Matty Smith , who seems to have dropped down St Helens pecking order.

Maybe on a season loan. Given that I think Atkins is good enough to be our SH for a long time.

Sheens made an enquiry about Todd Carney according to HDM. Luckily (for Rovers) he wants to play in the NRL.

I thought we was very close to signing a Aussie half back I hope it is not Carney he is a big risk he on his day is class but after seeing him at cats and Salford looks likes his days have gone. Atkin looked alright at Leeds but still think we need another quality half back

Re: New signing : Tue Feb 13, 2018 5:45 pm  

NH stated 10 days ago we are close to signing an overseas half and Sheens says today we weren’t serious about Carney. Hastings?

Re: New signing : Tue Feb 13, 2018 6:11 pm  

I really do hope so looks a decent young player

Re: New signing : Tue Feb 13, 2018 6:21 pm  

Apparently manly are signing Todd Carney probably going cheap if he does then Hastings rumour may be true

Says who a fortnight ago you stated we'd definitely signed Page so your stock regarding rumours is pretty low at the moment
