Good that Rovers are securing their best young players. Be nice when some of them are free from injury and able to play!

The presentations last Monday by Lenagan, McManus, Pearson & Hudgell seem to have gone down like a lead balloon with the lower league clubs and indeed one or two Super League clubs also. We seem as far away as ever from being able to agree something to put to SKY TV who must agree any changes in any case.

We have to presume that there will be no changes for 2019. If a Super League club loses the million pound game they will be relegated.

Hopefully Rovers will be able to survive yet another middle 8 appearance but if we don't the new contracts announced recently will be null & void.

Don,t know any contract detail, but think we need to retain any quality strike players before they receive alternative offers.. I would want Carney(if he would stay) same with Quinlan, and although it,s very early for him in a Rovers shirt Via Via. You don,t always need lots of matches to see true potential/quality, and other teams soon cotton on and could poach any player without a decent contract.
No team will ever improve by letting good players go elsewhere, and we have done this too often. We must retain quality and build upon it.
Like the fact that Rovers have offered contracts and been accepted to the three so far, but need to box clever.We have the support to be top four and hopefully the powers that be are on the ball.
Still think we need some heavy artillery in the forwards.

whilst I agree Carney and Quinlin have been excellent this season. Offering them contracts leaves me in a bit of a quandary. Whilst they deserve it, they blocking some of the younger players who to get better need game time in my opinion. But it's a win win situation for Rovers, which is a nice position to be in. I'd personally like to see oakes moved to Centre and give Carney a couple of years he's been brilliant for York there apparently. And if you think about it that's an exciting back line - Quinlin /Dagger, Shaw, VaiVai, Oakes, Carney.

VaiVai is apparently on a 6 month contract, with a year option. I'm with you, get him tied down to a decent contract as he proving his worth.
