Just because Brenton Bowen has been released doesn't mean we are looking at him.

I'm with you on Radders, could have gone for someone like Gilmour instead. The thing is Cordoba was never planned to be here to look at, its a last minute thing due to a run of injuries so I don't think the club can be blamed for that tbh.

too many nights on the ale with the rest of them will have surely sickened his missus

I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm blaming the club for making a cock-up. Just pointing out that a lot of the current problems can be at least partly attributed to poor recruitment/retention clogging up the squad with too many non-startling grafters, yet we seem to have done a similar rush job with Cusack yet again. What good reason was there to sign him up again so early when he's out injured? We should have waited until at least August IMO, and see what other options are out there (or indeed already here) for our overseas spots.



The only thing I can think is that it was a key factor in Fitzgibbon. And I'd be very disappointed if that were the case.



As daft as it sounds, although I have previously said I think we should only have one of Radford or Tickle, I've now changed my mind. Radford is unquestionably a prop now IMO, so with him being signed up I would actually be tempted to give him Cusack's role and try to better use the overseas spot left.

Radford's no where near up to the standard of Cusack and there is no way Radford could play the minutes Yak does.

Is this 100% accurate? There seems to be so many different opinions on how the rules will work it's scary.



For example, Rovers have the following overseas players:



Fitzhenry

Webster

Dobson

Vella

Fisher

Lovegrove

Aizue

Newton

Galea

Gene



Lovegrove got classed as homegrown if I remember correctly, then there is the 'Gene' rule. Would Aizue also be classed under that rule? Say he is, that leaves them with seven overseas players. There's talk of Fitzhenry going back to Aus as he's OOC so that would leave them with six. However, they tried to sign O'Meley, which would have put them over the limit and I know they're still in the market for other overseas players. Unless they plan on getting rid of others off that list (can't see who to be honest), surely the overseas players rule has been lost in translation somewhere?

Hes overseas isnt he so that will be a no then. Were full arent we ??
