Does anyone else think these rumours have conveniently come out, just when the pressure was really on radford! Wouldn't surprise me if we got none of the mentioned, even if we do, does it really make any difference to the rubbish we've been dished up this season, or are people happy to go with the " it will be our year next season" garbage we've been hearing for the last .............. I can't remember how many years

Keating was supposed to be the New Dobson.

Hows that worked out?

Happens all the time. Rovers fans snootily claiming all year our only decent players are Shaul, Lineham and Paea, now suddenly stating with a straight face that Thompson is the dog's bollox and would be a brilliant signing.

Every team has players to make your own better, its a given. would take lineham but its a mystery why we have never craved your halfbacks whilst you have licked the backsides of plenty of ours.

Did you not crave Paul Cooke ? Sure he saved you from relegation ?

Other than Dobson what decent half back have we licked the backside of ? A few have mentioned Burns this season and Blake Green was a sick note quite a bit for you guys. Plenty ?? Really ??

But the point is this. Rovers board have gone on record that you have the strongest pack in the competition. To improve that, wouldn't you be looking at the likes of Amor, Bateman, Hill, Walmsley? Or if you were tragic enough to target what Easty calls "Team Desperate", you'd go for Westerman, Ellis, Palaeesina, surely? The only time I've ever heard a Rovers fan speak positively about Thompson is, er, in response to a rumour Rovers are signing Thompson. It's the way of the world. Anticipatory apologism, if you will.

I remember bigging up the signing of Michael Ratu. I take a perverse pride in that.
