I don't think it's a ploy. I don't think he's smart enough to come up with that as a money making scheme. He's just an idiot but he's not the first talented sportsman with an inbuilt desire to self destruct and he won't be the last. Plenty of "told you so" mileage in this for rovers fans if we do sign him.

Any rovers fans know how many games he played for you in the last 2 season?

I know it's a ploy I have a friend who was involved with the Titans he told me when rovers signed him he would pull the same trick and he was right.
If he does it again you read it here first

If FC sign him an a 1 year with an extension clause it's a win- win for them, and good luck to them. He did let Rovers down, and that was well before his trip home. The game in the 8's against Leeds was there for the taking, but several bad decisions on the last play by him were obvious. Was it just an off day? We will never know, but either way he isn't our problem anymore.

Aye, about the same time as a club a little closer to home had the same trouble. #gleesongate?

Kelly was played as a playmaker because of crampeasys injury problems and was very ineffective at scrum half his strength is his running game, not playmaker, scored 2 interceptions last year against saints on sky and people thought he was a worldbeater a running stand off is Kellys game injury prone, a big hitter in defence but does miss a few tackles through flying in not worth his big salary a club with rovers finances needed a bit more value

Big risk by us if true but one worth a go IMO . no doubting his ability but needs to really change his attitude which can be done ( very rarely tbh but can be done)

It's one of those signings that could be a master stroke or a disaster I suppose everybody thinks they can change him I doubt they can but who knows

You been knocking around with Mrs B.

They were posted a year ago. Pre season I believe.You were on a level with us and Widnes according to the league just then finished.

As posted then your season depended on Sneyd, Houghton Shaul staying fit. They and Ellis did. Taylor was excellent last year but he was 1 part of an outstanding pack.

Who seriously predicted you 3rd Huddersfield bottom etc



Now let's get some of our posts with your comments on Mr Radford over the 2 seasons previous to this one.

But you said we could finish as low as 10th. You said we'd be in a dog fight. You said Watts' very good form from 2015 wouldn't last and you said Taylor had "chucked" his international chances. That's pretty hopeless predicting. Not the same thing as criticising a coach.
