Rumour on the Bradford forum that we've signed Brandon Pickersgill for next season (he's apparently not that good of course). I'm surprised that Bradford fans haven't posted that minnsy has signed for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In defence if anyone breaks the line Pickersgill ain't stopping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember you telling us Chisholm was your 3rd choice half back at Bradford, I hope if we sign him he improves for the move as much as Chissy must have done! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different situation, Chisholm was our 3rd choice HB because him and Kear didn't get on. Kear likes a structured play and that stifled Chisholm. I hope Pickersgill does improve and goes on to be a SL player, he is one of our best attacking threats but his defence and catching skills need work.

The Phantom Horseman Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 https://www.featherstonerovers.co.uk/news/rovers-tie-up-contract-extensions-for-six-key-players-siEfQ Koppy, Ferres, JD, and Jones have all signed one year extensions and Gale and Hall two-year extensions. Good news I'd say, as whilst acknowledging that some of them are already well into the veteran stage those guys have been good for us this year. The Gale news is especially welcome as he was one who we might have feared would be lost to a SL offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza77 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Not knowing at what level we'll be playing next year, or what funding will be was always going to make recruitment difficult for next year. This looks a solid base for me, irrespective of where we end this season. Gale particularly a standout to me, given the rate of his development and performances this year.

haskey Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Its got to be hard trying to negotiate contracts, with some of our lads having good jobs outside rugby, happy to play part time in the championship but not go full time in the Super League.

Only link I can (easily) find is this from FB Watch | Facebook RoversTV - NEWS : We're delighted to announce that Dane Chisholm has put pen to paper on a three year deal, making him a Featherstone player until the end of 2022! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
