Here come all the cages getting rattled by someone having a bit of light fun, on a serious note I would take Craig hall as he's as good if not better than what we have got in my opinion, we are a newly promoted club and we are not going to attract top class players.

Why would we not attract top class players? If we are prepared to pay the wage then why not? Bit of a strange comment from a Rovers supporter?

Sorry I didn't quite get across what I actually meant, I mean obviously if we pay the money yes but if a player has a choice between Leeds and us...I think we should have enough to make the 8 I have faith in sheens.

What are basing that on, the fact it's made the HDM? Must be right then.

Expecting to be in the m8's, hoping for 8th to 6th. Don't think the quality in SL was great last year, so expecting quite a few sides to make a fair few signings. Especially with it being WC year.

Realistic aim for 2018 based on the roster that we know and the Maguire-factor 6th-8th is achievable, and higher if a quality scrum half can be enticed to Rovers.

Keeping the nucleus of the 2017 squad should provide momentum, and hopefully the likes of Shaw, Minns, Heffernan, Atkins and Johnson can kick on. We will need back-up to support these players.

I'd like to see a specialist 9 brought in to support Lunt to allow Lawler to develop in the back row - what a player Lawler is, you build your pack around players like him. It will be interesting to see how Donaldson shapes up, and Quinlan, who were both dogged by injuries but when fit and healthy they bring so much to the team.

It will be very interesting to see how Sheens' approaches recruitment. I don't envy his task.

You never know, 2018 could be the year you double your Challenge Cup wins, with your current record standing at 1 win from what, 121 attempts? It's only 5 wins for you after all.

And you have spent exactly twice as long in Super League and have won it the same amount of times as us.
