According to feisal and love rugby we are looking to strengthen our squad. Didn't think we needed to strengthen the squad to be honest but I guess strengthening the squad can only be a good thing.Apparently we are in contact with some SL clubs and making inquiries.

Squad looks brilliant for summer rugby, but it looks like they still might still struggle in wet or boggy conditions, or is it 'cos they missed another big man up front due to Ingy's injury?

I think we are a summer rugby team Steve and not a five drive and a kick team anymore. Which we once were when we were dire. But that's got to be a good thing surely but like you say if its a wet final etc we will struggle like we did in last years Finals.

Yeah - you need some Kolpak players - or players with EC passports. Then the Government can't block it.

We've just signed a lad from Kinshasa. Scouts everywhere......

Hope everyone noticed the scarf Feisal was wearing at the presentation of the trophy and medals for last night's Probiz World Club Challenge between Melbourne Storm and Leeds Rhinos - It was the green and black Rovers 2013 away scarf.
Excellent - smart suit and tie and a blatantly obvious Rovers scarf. So Rovers had a presence at the WCC event - a sign of great things to come! Thanks Feisal.
If you didn't see it try to see a recording.

Naturally I couldn't miss the opportunity to let you know that the scarf is available in the club shop! :-)

A statement like that will do wonders for team confidence.
