Re: Tony Puletua : Wed May 27, 2015 11:38 am  
Given our current circumstances, it's not a bad, 'bad' acquisition. Cox stills looks short fitness wise, so if we can spell him with TP then we should be ok. Minutes from Green and Greenwood and suddenly we've got the luxury of 4 man front row rotation. It's hard to imagine any foresight been able to predict how hard we'd be hit in the front row this season, but if there's been one good thing, it's the development of James Green. The additional responsibility and time on the pitch, has kicked his development on light years. Been impressed with him. I really hope him and Walker are leading our pack in the coming years.


I also hope our incoming football manager next season looks to target the front row and get the building blocks in place to find the right formula to move 'forward'. As on a wider issue be it poor recruitment/bad luck/lack of development/other ... our front row evolution has been very hit and (mainly) miss in recent years and we've certainly lacked any cohesion in the front row. We just seemed to have patched up the cracks every year ...

This could turn out to be 2015's "Jason Chan" moment. Welcome aboard TP.

Not going to comment on the bicker-fest that's gone on while I've been away. It's a well-trodden path whenever a player arrives.

Re: Tony Puletua : Wed May 27, 2015 1:23 pm  
Not buying any of this faux outrage coming from anyone that Rovers have had to dip into the loan market. Weyman, Bailey, Walker, Allgood, Tilse, Burke all gone from our front row and people think that that should be sustainable because our academy recently got rated 'good'?
No academy in the league has the strength in depth in their 19s to sort that dilemma out. Throwing in kids to the front row who are physically unprepared for the strains of super league football would be hugely detrimental to their development.

Spot on, and faux outrage sums it up perfectly. Dress it up how they like, it's just inter club point scoring. With the injuries we have and the difficulty in finding any SL quality forward at this stage of the season we should be very happy with this signing.

Well said.

At the risk of repeating all that's been said before including by me, our current front row crisis is unprecedented and our back rowers are below size by SL standards.

We have no props who can make the step up from the U19s at the mo. So TP is and will be a good acquisition and we have to be grateful that Salford have cocked up on their overseas signings this year.

Finally, well done to Dave K for getting us to almost 10 pages on this thread. Shame you're a Derty berd, though. You need some re-lobotomising to get rid of your dark side tendencies.

Re: Tony Puletua : Wed May 27, 2015 6:26 pm  
As much as I'd like to see A teams brought back, it could open a right can of worms salary cap and running costs wise.
Would there be a limit on salaries paid in the A team? If not would this enable the richer teams to run with bigger squads, or would money paid to "A.N Others" count on the main cap.
It's all sortable, but looking at the way the clowns in charge run our game you've got to wonder.

I think this could be a good acquisition by Rovers .....Being the consummate professional that Puletua is, I don't think he would like his last year within the game to be tarnished with the dispute he had at Salford. I think he would like to go out with a bang and finish his career with memorable performances, so, hopefully, Rovers will benefit from this giant of a man within his twilight year .....Fingers crossed!

I personally believe that Rovers should be thrown out of Superleague over this heinous behavior.

In addition, I believe that the Magic game should be changed to 4pm Sunday.
