That's not how it was meant at all. I'm saying he'd be cheaper than getting an NRL FB over and not as messy paperwork wise with Visa, house etc...


Agree, but it's just as likely that you've under valued him as we've over valued him.

to be fair saying "McDonnell will hardly command a massive salary" doesn't give me much to scope to interpret that as what you say you actually meant but I'm genuinely not intetrested in an FC v KR fan tit for tat so I apologise for the misunderstanding.

in response to your other quote I think we probably have under valued him and if indeed he is coming to you (I'm still getting texts saying it's not true and he's staying at Rovers, who knows?) then I think you've got yourself a very good full back and if he does as well for you as I think he can then he will be worth whatever you are paying.

A couple of things spring to mind about this.

McDonnell would be a good signing. Can't remember the last time we signed a player directly from them.

On this rumour thread, NO ONE saw this coming, which sort of questions the "I am in the know" type contributors.

Finally, how does Gwillam Lloyd keep his job as a broadcaster which such a bumbling effort like the Humberside sports bulletin this morning. Before anyone says it, yes I reckon I could do better at simply reading from a script!

Re: Rumours Ad Infinitum : Wed Jun 20, 2012 10:38 am  

If you look at our squad signed for next season we have no back up at full back, centre (barring Crooks) and Half.

He maybe well paid for 'cover' but I could see us doing that.
