Are you saying Morgan is better than Sandercock? On t'other board Morgan had run his course and the majority believe Sandercock (who I think someone may have once mentioned coached Uate) is the dog's nads. Morgan is without portfolio currently I understand. Sandercock is at the helm of a club with "a richer backer than Lenegan at Wigan". Think it's clear who the winner is.

As Bet would say "the stats don't lie". Personally, I'll wait and see. You take consensus from t'other board, well as I no longer frequent it I'll take your word for it, although they must clearly be too busy "crying on the inside" to think straight at the moment. Give them time to clear their heads love.

Who's this rich backer you speak of? Neil has opened a branch on Prinny Ave, maybe this is a sign of true wealth.

O My Zod yes - double plank me thinks - but he loves his club nought wrong with that.

Nothing wrong with that at all mate, but when comparing players at least do it like for like.

Don't know, but it's a relevant point when debating the merits of Wigan and Rovers, apparently.

With 14 players over 30 on show in the Grand Final, and Warrington, participants in both major finals this year ,offering extensions to players signifcantly over 30, why is this such a big deal?

The likes of Briers are irreplaceable but he's still getting through a lot of games and maintaining the same type of game he's always played.

I'm glad from a Rovers perspective that we're going down the youth route instead of handling out contracts based on sentiment. We didn't get value for money last year with Galea and we were totally right to look for a replacement.

Pearson is obviously desperate to increase pass sales but signing Prince on a 3 year deal with his recent injuries really is Russian roulette.

W T F are you on about?

Holdsworth is your best signing and all the above British signings are good considering the current market.

I just think the expectations of expecting Prince, Ellis and Galea to transform FC into some kind of Super League juggernaut is misguided IMO because no-one can deny that all three players at not the same players they were two years ago - all three are coming for a pension when all's said and done.

Most of our signing's? 3 of the 8?

Paterson, ET and Burns must be coming for a pension then?

Nobody's expecting anything from Galea, just back up.

Has Sandercock "done well"? You spent the full cap and finished 10th. Agar, whom you were less than complimentary about, delivered more with less At Wakefield in 2012. We could cherry pick some of Agar's stats from his FC tenure to show some positivity, but ATEOTD he was poor.

Sandercock lost a player in the first half to injury 10 games in a row.

Injuries are no excuse because a coach has seven days with the players at his disposal to get a game plan together but when you constantly lose players early on from your rotation, it prevents a coach's ideas taking proper effect.

I spoke to a first team player earlier this year and he said Sandercock is a far better coach than Morgan and has far better ideas too.

Injuries are no excuse but here's an excuse about injuries.

Back to form Zod, all that's missing is a submission icon.

You're obviously a bit dense so let me explain it to you a bit clearer.

Injuries generally don't prevent a coach planning a game plan during the week.

Losing players to injury early on in a game, prevent a coach's game plan being executed.

All I see is an excuse about injuries, but you're not a hull fan?
