See Yaha is set to join KR on a short term deal. Would suggest Tom Davies is above him in the pecking order & no chance of us getting him.

Seems that way, do Rovers not have any young players capable of stepping up from the reserves or academy. I know they have a few injuries, but Hall is meant to be out fir a week, they have Wakey at home, surely they could have played a young winger or centre for one week.

Connor Barley maybe but he is only 18.

It just doesn’t seem to be a very rich seam. Or the system is flawed. Or both.

Wakey at home is an important game in terms of staying in the play-off chase and hopefully building some confidence.

From what I've heard they're also getting Tiaki Chan on loan again from Catalans.

But we also gave chances to Balmforth, Barron, Laidlaw, Gardiner and Severs

Hasn't he just gone to Toulouse on dual registration?

I’d still offer one year deals to Dre, Griffin, Tag and Houghton. I know club trying to persuade Danny not to retire and I believe he will only stay on if we can’t get a hooker in. Personally for me he’s been outstanding, I agree with comments I’d get Balmforth alongside him ahead of Dwyer. Tag done very well for me as has before yesterday Griff been our most consistent player and Savelio when fit is a very good player.

I agree with you but personally think with dont have any option
