I'd rather we run with Martin and Barron. Both got a higher ceiling than Kershaw. No point blocking their path with a player like him

Cade Cust named in love rugby leagues worst team of the season alongside Nu Brown, Okunbor, Cam Scott and Pele. Saveleio thrown in just to add further salt to the wounds. The dream team!

Think that's a bit harsh on both Cust and
Scott TBF.

Although it is Love rugby league, which is awful

If we are going down the prop to replace Sao route, I'd be tempted with Satae, think he would compliment our pack with the other 3 props, 2 year deal and won't count on the quota the year after.

Not a bad shout and would hopefully play longer minutes given Cartwright's emphasis on fitness. Another plus is he won't have any problems settling in. Still think we need another prop. English if available would be a good option.

Kershaw is alright but is a weird signing for Rovers, he'll do a job but Martin and Barron will both become better players.

Could just as easily chuck Mcillorum and Ratchford in at 9 and centre.

No doubt some Hull players and former players deserve to be in that team though

Never go back. That is one signing that would put me on edge. He had probably half a dozen good games for us. The rest of the time he plodded about taking an age to get back into the defensive line. Posters calling out Abdul’s weight issues but Satae is pro as bad.

Does never go back apply to Abdul too? I imagine Satae is a non starter, Catalan announced this morning 8 players who are leaving, Satae wasn't one of them
