I think most Rovers fans are not bothered one way or the other if he comes or not, lets face it he is a 'good' player not a 'great' player. If he comes he will be a good addition to the squad, nothing more. If we were talking about players of the calibre of Israel Falou or Greg Inglis, then I could get all excited, but for Craig Hall I honestly am not bothered either way.

The only ones of yours I think are really worth pushing the boat out for are Berrigan and possibly Carvell.

You were talking about Darren Lockyer, Cooper Cronk and Scott Prince not so long back and have ended up with Michael Dobson.

And you were going to get a top quality half back and ended up with Dykes so what is you point

Is it true he has been offered a silly money 3 yr deal to stay then

Less than 1/2 the going rate for an aussie reserve grade scrum half I've heard

And as you should know, none are likely to be available until at least 2010. In case you haven't noticed, we need someone now. If you're going to troll, at least try and stop yourself looking dim by expecting us to operate without a scrumhalf for the next two years!

Use one of your juniors.

If you'd have been happy relying on juniors over signing players, what did you go out and buy Dykes and even Berrigan for? Because, as you should know 6, 7 & 9 aren't positions you can just dump kids in and expect them to do a SL job week-in-week-out.

If you really don't think we needed to sign another halfback after Webbo's injury, you're even dafter than I thought you were.

The key is to mix quality experienced players with up and coming local youth who will be the long term backbone of your side into the future.

Crooke/Chester, Crooke/Galea, Crooke/Murrell. Just some alternatives at hb with Fisher at 9 - who's suggesting filling all these positions with juniors ? - not me.

Whether I'm daft or not, I'm sure I'Anson and others will be disappointed.
Good luck with Dobson - decent NRL reserve player who'll do OK for you. Bit expensive mind.
