good call on sutcliffe, average at best. Replacing 3 centres a challenge though with possibly limited quota spots unless these 2 new arrivals are just for this year

if he is going to Huddersfield then Watson seems to want to dig his own grave

He did OK last season, formed a decent partnership with Swift. Poor this year although he's hardly alone in that respect.

I wonder if they intend to use Litten as a backup centre as that is where he seems to play for us these days.
Not saying we should, mind you, but just a thought.

Cartwright looks a beast of a man. Hope he can run his weight

I've stopped using physical size as a guide after Kane Evans who looked like a tank, was actually a reliant robin

Yeah same, hence my comment about been able to actually run his weight. Okunbor is another example. Looks to have all the physical attributes to be a great player but just doesn't use his size properly.

Feel like Cartwright could break this mould though and actually be quite good. Not based on anything granted, just got a good feeling about him.

Going off Rovers statement looks like we've not had to pay a fee for Abdull

Re: DoR - New Coach - Investor & Adam - New signings : Wed Jun 05, 2024 4:46 pm  

We were never paying a fee for Abdul. Rovers are desperate to get rid
