... maybe because Faraimo is still on the payroll, but I see what you mean.

Again, who is Ligi sponsor, you said was on here.

He must read the posts but can understand why he may not be able to divulge what he knows
He was on the FC website a couple of weeks ago on a photo with Ligi so i guess Ligi will be staying otherwise he would not be sponsoring him once again

Main differences are Swift's superior metres and tackle busts. Fonua the weaker of the three but Faraimo the worst try scoring ratio,

Would love to see the stats for stepping out of the defensive line allowing our opponents to score. Fonua and Faraimo were often guilty of that. Hope we exploit that when attacking the Cas line next season.

Grace and Makinson aren't massive and make good yards, same could be said for players like Marshall and Handley too

On the topic of Evans, I can't remember if the discussion about his ban got settled and I can't be arsed to read pages of off topic waffle to find out. But I just did some backtracking and when Rovers signed Travis Burns he had to miss the first 3 games of the new season and his 12 match ban was still enforced in Super League. So I imagine the same would stand for Evans should we sign him.

Was told yesterday, FC have another 2 signings to announce, possibly during the week but no names. Evans and Wardle?

Agree hard to predict. Same goes for Rovers was that a flash in the pan season? We all go into a fresh season positive and why not. It's usually knocked out of us as the season goes on lol.

I really enjoyed following Rovers from afar this year, more than any season in SL for a good while. Despite almost chucking in the towel after round 1 when I genuinely started to wonder if anything good would ever happen for the club again. Straw that almost broke the camel’s back, darkest hour before the dawn and all that.

Winning a play-off game and getting closer to a SL GF than ever before put a cherry on a nice little cake.

Looking ahead, I think there’s a possibility that we get a bit giddy with it. Which is fine and natural. We improved massively, and that is a huge shot in the arm, but it was from a very, very low base in 2020. It’ll be interesting to see how the team/club react, whether it whets the appetite for more or if we are content to consolidate. It is nice to wonder what is achievable again, for a bit. It has been difficult for us to go into a fresh season positive, or even just not knowing, for too long.

Read somewhere Wardle is off to a championship club. Cannot remember who or where I read it.
