Excellent signing by Rovers.

I would partner him with Ellis in the halves.

Rovers lack pace in this area which Quinlan has in abundance. Its a no-brainer for me.

You have a point but Tim Sheens sets great stall on the kicking game and he thinks that a hb pairing of Abdull & Ellis will give Rovers the best kicking game in the competition by far. Quinlan will definitely be playing full back.

Lets hope they still have some cash left over to boost the squad further when we're nearer the middle 8s. There's been a lot of spending in clise season.

Don't worry, they'll be on staggered contracts like Leigh did with a lot of their squad last year. They'll be plenty left. Our cap has gone slightly up due to monies in through pass sales and sustained/improved sponsorships.

If I heard right, we are going into the championship on a £1.2 million budget, with the rest to buy more quality come the middle 8's. And I'm not saying maybe regarding the middle 8's, because I think we're going to walk this league by a margain.

The squad Rovers will start with in 2017 will cost £1.2m including Quinlan and Shillinton/or other prop forward.

Shillington needs to prove his fitness if so he will be the next announcement.

Cap is £1.8m or 50% of income........600k left for later if pass sales and merchandise allows.
