After all the rumours about him signing he has gone to the Bulls along with Carvel, so whos next to knock us back. Any more rumours or information I heard a Queensland Cowboy,Fakir from Catalan,any more

A cowboy? Yeehaw!

Including Spats I thin thatswhat they call them

Rumors in Newcastle that Neville Costigan is talking to Hull KR and Warrington.

Neville played for Queensland in SOO and is a premiership winner for Saint George as well as an International for PNG.
He is an 80 minute second rower or a 60 minute prop and even though he is a few years past his best, he is a brutal defender who few want to run at twice, and he can still make his share of metres.
He won't add a lot to your attack, but he'll give your defence some serious fear factor.

Looks like he's going to Warrington then

They have just signed Asotasi today so hopefully they might let us have this one!! Was very impressive against the Titans this weekend

You won't get a bigger cowboy than Travis Burns. He comes from a part of Queensland where his sporting choices would have been Rugby League or Bull riding.

If Costigan is an option I would snap him up. Would be a real pack leader. Perhaps Stanley Gene's influence could tip things in our favour?

Think Sandy will have an influence too but since i thought we were signing Carvell, Ferguson or Fakir i won't get my hopes up

Too many seem to think a name rumoured on here constitutes an approach from the club, it doesn't. I wonder if Rovers have even had any of these names as targets in the first place.

Sounds ideal tbh. Our effective overseas places will be 5+Lovegrove next year. Burns and ET taking 2 of the 5, so if Mika stays that leaves only 2, so they need to be high-end ideally. I don't think we'll get anybody quite on Dobson's level, so giving whoever it is and Burns a good platform has to be a priority.

You love this time of the year don't you when you can impress everybody with your grasp of the quota/non-fed malarkey?


I think that Mika will go and we will head Down Under for a scrum half, prop and backrower.

Question for Roopy. I Have only really seen Costigan play in the backrow. Is he at the stage in his career when he is likely to be moving up to prop?
