See post on Facebook where Butler Fleming has signed for Totonto FROM York thought he was a Rovers player on loan to them.
Is this another Rovers bad piece of business ?

Was he the lad with no number who scored a good try in the derby a few weeks ago? I thought the players with no numbers in that game where the ones who were on dual reg the other way around. So a York player on dual reg with you. Same as Connor Scott is a Donny play on dual reg with us.

I might be wrong though.

He signed a one year deal with York but Toronto offered him a full time deal York got a fee he was never on loan

Good deal for him and York then Toronto looked good against Leigh and could be heading to SL next season and York get a fee for a player they have put no real time into or cost, Obviously Sheens didn't think him good enough for SL or he would of just loaned him out, I don't think you are under pressure with the salary cap, was he any good for you last year?

Got off to a slow start recovering from injury. Looked to have something about him but also prone to a major brain fart every now and then (see Toulose at home).

My opinion is he has potential but we couldn't afford to invest an overseas spot in potential and in someone who wouldn't make your 17 (barring injuries). Somewhat unfortunate victim of us trying to add "quality" but the right call for me.

How's it bad business what do you expect Rovers to do offer him a contract taking up a quota space in the hope that someone comes in with a cash offer that's a stupid statement

Re: Butler Fleming : Tue Feb 06, 2018 10:07 pm  

Who have we filled the quota space with.?

Well not Luke Page for starters but wasting another quota space on a player not guaranteed a starting spot is stupid
