To be fair at the start of the season the club did say they where going to get a chance maybe not a many as we have, but if you look at the top sides in the league Saints, Wire and Wigan they all invest in the academy's and bring players through unlike some clubs who are just after a quick fix to end their forty year drought.

Forty year drought??? Surely there can't be a club who have gone this long without winning a proper trophy.

Just because he's a Rover's fan his point isn't any less valid.

I agree with BF, if our recruitment hadn't been so p1ss poor these kids would not been thrown in to the extent they've been used. Hence why we're at squad no. 50.

And I respect your view and certainly agree with it but I don’t need shoite stirring fans of other clubs telling me the obvious.
When I was working, in the major construction industry, I occasionally met Dobbins fans, most were evenly balanced, they had a chip on each shoulder. It was a pleasure for the 25 or so years we didn’t play them. They’re having a modicum of success they’re like a rash all over here.

kr front row of
Jwh/micky Mac / Sue
It totals up to 105 years..
Can you imagine dobbins would be all over fc forum if we had that aged front row.
Really don’t get their psyche wanting to come on here but I guess it’s a form of envy.

For all the talk of us having an old squad, Rovers have:

Evalds 31
Burgess 30
Hiku 32
JWH 37
McIllorum 37
Sue 32
Hadley 31
Tanginoa 32

The love in is strange

but give us
Burgess for Briscoe
Hiku for Hardaker
Tanginoa for Holmes
That would be a good start and like for like in age

That wouldn't work though as two are quota spots, limiting our options elsewhere.

Talking of signings for next season I'm shocked at how big Abdul is now.
I'm hoping he'll be put on strict s/c regime in preseason.
He seems today to be spending more time pulling his shirt back down
