I agree. Next year will be Fisher's last and I'd like to see a quality hooker brought in to rotate with Fish and play beyond 2010.

Fisher's deal runs out at the end of 2011.

Now Rovers are spending close to the cap and have built a true SL squad, it is about making the best of what you have got, more than bringing in top players. To sign a big-earner you have to release a big-earner. Leeds and Saints are the top teams as much, or more IMO, because they are the best collectives. They have top players, but they are made to look even better because of the familiarity and fluency of the team. Continuity, with just one or two good signings from outside the club each year is the way to maintain a squad.

having seen a lot of reserve games this season, scott spaven looked pretty sharp at hooker, good scooting runs, has a few more years to learn the ropes.

Been touched upon but ground improvements are vital to attract more away support. 8000 home fans is great but with more teams bringing 1500/2000 supporters it will make a big difference to to the coffers.

Its happy days at Rovers , great coach & board, passionate players , and brilliant fans , we rose like a phoenix from the flames, we were in trouble but with hard work and passion we have survived and are now the top team in the city , we didnt sell our souls and identity and merge our board is made up of ex players and fans who care about our club, who treat the fans well and have a great rapport with us.

it would be good to see some top quality youngsters coming through the ranks in the next couple of years,
the stadium expansion is gonna be hard to pull off right now due to the finacial down turn, but cant be put on the back burner, it needs sorting and soon IMO.
