Wondering if people are getting briscoes supposed 2 year renewal confused with someone else. I haven't heard anything new on him, since I put earlier in the season, that he is aussie bound end of next season.

Houghton on the other hand

Houghton is far more important than Briscoe

Whilst Briscoe is a great player, he is not integral to the way we play

I like Galea a lot, but he's looked to be carrying too much timber this season.

If we sign Ben Galea I'll have serious doubts about our direction and ownership and would be reconsidering whether I renew my pass or not!!!

That said. It's absolute nonsense!!

its from a generally good source,he will be born again under a top coach

Can't see anything in Galea, would make no sense at all. Won't command any more than a one year deal and we already have Ellis, Tickle, Whiting, Westerman, and Pitts, plus youngsters to cover. It's only worth letting Tickle leave if we secure a long term replacement, and we'd be better off giving Aspinwall another year than going after Galea.

Besides, hasn't he already said he's retiring?

Being tweeting that he is not retiring now and will reveal his plans soon which apparently do not include KR

I can relate to that he has been a great player but his best is well behind him imo, would certainly keep the treatment bed warm at 34 yrs old, he is no Menzies

Doubt galea will play 10 games next season. Way past it. Hope to god it's not us but can't see why he'd be cagey if he were going to cas

Ah right, cheers. Still don't think there'll be anything in it, he'd be the definition of a Rovers cast-off and I don't see what he'd bring to us.

I'm going to have a wild stab at Bradford.
