Those wishing for Dixon to stay should think again IMO, he hasn't improved on any of his frailties so he's never going to be SL material, let him go.
Addy will play Loose forward so Clarkson can go to SR as a replacement for Greenwood if he goes, I'd prefer Greenwood to stay and put Clarkson on the bench though. If not, Frankie Mariano?
We're still light in the front row, so we need two more props (Cox?)
If we can keep Mantellatto and Shaw I would be very happy with our 3/4's. Just need an experienced Scrum Half (I'm worried that it might be Prince though).

A few points.

Rovers aren't in superleague. Dixon has scored for fun against championship teams and would do next year. He'll score sh@t loads for us next year if he stays. We need to be promoted first and he'd be a quality option in the championship.

Clarkson is s@it.....period end of. He'll get bullied even more in the championship. Awful rubbish.....what is he good at other than being less than average.

Mariano makes Campese look like the world's fittest man. Has he played 20 games in the past 3 seasons.....a shocking suggestion.

Cox.....holy $hit. Really. The rest of the RL pros seem to find him a joke. Tilse is 50 times the player than this clown. Cox wouldn't last 10 mins in the nrl.
Scruton and Clark seem to bring some grunt. The rest of the new recruits are underwhelming.

We need halves and a whole new back row. 4-5 of them. A centre and a full back or 2 and more props. Other than that job done.

The current squad is lacking in quality compared to the mess of a squad relegated last year.

Lunt, Blair, and Minns all quality. Juniors and Marsh have promise.

Best signing so far .....Sheens.

I agree with both of you. Clarkson not as cods as you make out or as bad as Larroyer or Horne imo.

Can't see the video. Plug in not supported on my tablet.

PS. Liam Salter is cackamallababshit

I've no idea what the video is or how I managed to add it to my post. Couldn't post a picture or a video if I tried.

I aren't happy calling Clarkson but he is awful. Until Larroyer got a run of horror injuries he was a decent player. Horne well. He can pass and step but his defence is poor.

Salter yes can't pass can't run other than that he's awful.
Money wasted on him and Clarkson for me.

I presume the video is Kieran Dixon's highlight reel, judging by the context. A bit surprised that you are softening on Cockayne as no mention.

@Burtons Forearm; You're right we're not in SL but if we get to the qualifiers Dixon will be a liability. As for Mariano and Cox, we need free signings and these two must have 150 SL games between them. Salter does have weakness' in his game but I can't see Inglis rushing over here to help us out.

So Dixon whose previous performances in qualifiers was pretty good and is available you don't want. His performances fluctuate between out standing and $hit.
But Mariano, Cox, and Salter you want just because they are available. There performances fluctuate between poor and $hit. Mariano excluded who has had half a dozen good games in his career.
Cox and Salter are lucky to be pro players. Salter makes Kirk Yeaman look like Mike Smith. He can't pass, kick break a tackle etc etc. His winger might as well be not there. Minns scored 5 MORE tries this season than Salter has ALL his career.
I'd rather Save my money.


I'm glad you don't recruit for Rovers.

You've not got a player that's come through your youth in your SL era that's worthy enough to clean yeamos boots. Hundreds of SL games hundreds of tries international honours & 2 CC medals, thank god for West Yorkshire players because that's all your clubs getting right now.
