Dane Chisholm has a French passport

Chisholm did just enough to warrant bringing him over last year, but not by much. Middle 8s will be tougher this year. He adds an extra body but not much more quality imo.

Massive recruitment for next year, a few seasons ago, Rovers were the best in the league at recruiting particularly from overseas, seems to have all gone downhill.

Going to take a few seasons to get this right, Mike Smith is a major factor of this and IMO is stealing a living from our club. He was the one dealing with these deals ie money and contract lengths. Same as what Mcrea did at Hull and look how long its taken them to resolve that.

I think most of us would be ok with it taking a few seasons if we could see progression. With the current way the league is small changes can make a big difference.

Getting the correct coach is vital and can't be rushed. having to change coach every 18 - 24 months isn't helping the club or players, we need some stability in the club like we had when Justin Morgan was in charge. All gone down hill since his departure and our signings.

Every club in every sport in the world knows that but knowing it and achieving it are 2 completely different things
