Surely the most important things to them. My only evidence is what I see on the pitch. Ive been watching Rovers for a long time and what Ive seen in many games this year is poor body language, not playing for each other, lack of intensity and committment, generally underachieving. Actions speaks louder than words comes to mind. There's many of us who have watched the club for a long time. Yes some performances have fallen short of what we believe they should be, but even when we've been struggling, obviously Batley and Leigh apart, the players have dug in for one another and managed to get the result. Now whether they won playing fantastic rugby or ground out a win. Those players got the results. Your implication of lack of intensity and commitment, appears to be aimed at one or two individuals. Now I think one player you refer to. When he first came to the club he looked out of condition, plus he's had a few niggles injury wise. I think sometimes when you sign a player he can play out of his skin for a few games, and then his play drops off and can take along time to get back, where as in my time watching the game, a player that takes time to settle in, invariably tend to stay the course better. Of course these are just my observations from years of watching this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly if he was at his previous NRL levels he would still be playing in Oz rather than here. I am happy he's staying next season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you looked at his performances in the first third of the season and thought that’s what you hoped for from a recent Dally M centre of the year, then you are more easily pleased than I am. I’ve seen him play in 2016-18 in the NRL and he looked a class above anyone we’ve had at Post Office Road in some years. Our first 8 or 9 games, he looked disinterested and (to me) looked like he was lacking in effort generally. Initially, he was no better than those he replaced and surely that’s the point. As I said, he’s got better as the season has progressed and has become one of our better performers. I’m chuffed he’s re-signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Horseman Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Springer a very welcome re-signing for 2022. It's hard to find good middles even for SL clubs so this is an important retention with some of our forwards perhaps at the end of their careers. https://www.featherstonerovers.co.uk/news/gadwin-springer-is-in-the-blueprint-for-2023-0tB6T/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Horseman Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Re-signing number 6 to be announced today according to Fev's social media.

I think that collectively we could do with getting a bit younger in the pack though. We've mentioned Koppy and Moors but Lockwood, Cuthbertson and Ferres might all be potential candidates to retire and we have 3 or 4 other forwards who are over 30, if we can unearth some fresh talent for the pack that would be good, especially as Eseh will presumably be back at Wakefield next year (he's contracted to them until 2024).

Another that I'd imagine most of us will be happy with. He's a very good wing at this level (assuming we stay in the Championship, and he does have plenty of SL experience), and he'll be able to continue his partnership with Leilua.

The Phantom Horseman Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Rovers Twitter have just tweeted "𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐈𝐄’𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐒 @Wildie067 is in the Blue Wall for 2023" along with an ad for season tickets. As far as I know we didn't know he was signed up for 2023, unless this is a more low-key announcement than the previous ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam B Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 In view of the way Moors has carried the pack forward at times this year, you'd have to think he's got at least another year in him. Would love to see him bossing it in a Fev shirt again next year. Tempt Eseh with a 3 year deal, and find a few more big young forwards in the same vein, and we'd be shaping up nicely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Horseman Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Terrific news coming from the end-of-season awards that Junior Moors - who seems to have swept the board - has signed on for next year. Don't care how old he is, if he plays close to how he has this year in 2023 we'll all be happy I think. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binosh Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Honest question here, are these re-signings players you would want to take to SL or Is this the clubs way of setting up negatively for another crack at promotion next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
