That aged well, didn't it? And they say a week is a long time in politics. Try Fev Rovers 2024. Massey has retired, no-one knows about Kamano (gone? injured?), Kibula was selected but not used (out of favour?) and Springer might be looking at another suspension. I wonder if Fishwick and Tennison are still on call.

Yes, they were. I would not be the psychotic character I am today without the trauma of the Sorensons, the Tamatis, the Hulmes, the Mylers and the O'Neills. One year we went there, 1987, we were already down, a few shied off and we shipped 62 points. Back in the top flight in 1988 we shipped 58 points. The next year I thought, it can't be worse, but we shipped 59 points with Currier and Offiah with their own little private competition of who could score most. I think they got nine between them.

Ta for that list. I wonder if there is a full list of ex-NRL to SL/UK 2025 list anywhere. I know we have a thread on TRL for the opposite, ex-SL/UK players in the NRL.

At the moment we have a 25 man squad, which includes Tommy Lacans who is unfortunately gone for the year. Let's imagine the other 24 all get fit, healthy, suspension free and in good form, all at the same time. I suspect that most of us would come up with similar looking lists, perhaps something like this: 1. AEKINS 2. WYNNE/EDEN/JEFFERY 3. MINIKIN 4. HARDCASTLE 5. GALE 6. REYNOLDS 7. PATTON 8. 9. JONES & BOWES 10. 11. DAY 12. BUSSEY 13. ADDY Depending which winger you prefer that's 12 players right there. I'm assuming that poor old Charlie Harris would miss out too. The other five would be the middle forwards, typically two starting and three on the bench. We have Nine middles. Which Five would you choose? Springer / Nakubuwai / Kamano / Albert / Massey / Lockwood / Arnold / Beckett / Kibula

Players you would sign

The great thing about rugby league is that however bad the last game was, you get a chance the week after to start to put things right. Except last week was pretty bad, and this week we're away to runaway Championship leaders Wakefield, who are coming off the back of a jolly good thrashing last week. Our 23 man squad still looks thin. On the injury table we have Turner, Massey, Bussey and Albert plus Lacans. Suspended are Gale and Patton. Jones in back in Australia on compassionate leave with all our best wishes. That leaves us with 15 of our own, unless we have any of the injured list ready to resume. Josh Hardcastle is back after his suspension. Last week we used one loan and two DR. Let's see who we call on this week. More than a win, we need to see effort, pride and commitment from 1 to 17 on Sunday. Go out there and do your best for Featherstone Rovers lads. It's all we can ask.
