Nothing surprises me at this club anymore. We are a circus. Having heard what Musgrove had done it's no wonder he has been sacked. This is a bloke who had numerous convictions for assault before we signed him, yet we still proceeded to sign him, do we ever learn?


I can't believe there has been no club statement yet to ease fans fears over the incident. I was told about this incident on Monday yet here we are five days later and absolute silence from the club.


I thought I'd list some of the dud signings we've made over the last few years:-


Greg Inglis, Alfie Johnson, Peter Mata'utia, Ben Pomeroy, Anthony Gelling, Chris Sandow, Tyrone Roberts, Zane Musgrove, Brad Dwyer, Leilani Latu, Kyle Amor, Dan Russell, Luther Burrell, Billy Magoulias, Josh McGuire, Roy Asotasi, Lama Tasi, Welsey Bruines, Oliver Holmes, Greg Minikin, Gil Dudson, Mitch Brown, Bodene Thompson, Samy Kibula, Keanan Brand, Gary Wheeler, Ryan Bailey, Matty Blythe, Matty Smith, Mitchell Dodds, Dom Crosby, Rob Butler, Sam Kasiano. 


There's probably more I've missed.

We have 3 marquee players. I wonder how many other clubs have 3. We don't know how much Hull KR spend as the wage bill is different from the salary cap. 


Successful period of recruitment? Im not going to list the plethora of poor players we also signed around the time we signed Ashton and Harrison. 

Yes we currently have three Marquee. Players BUT one of them is Toby King which is a joke.                                                                                                                                                I wouldn't be surprised if his new deal will still mean that he will Marquee Player for next season too?


Do any posters on here have any information about this?

I'll rescind the word 'era'; I should really have said 'model' as we did seem to be good at a time at getting early dibs on good Championship talent. You're right that we signed plenty of dross.

The Ashton signing was right under Wigan's nose. Ashton was young championship player of the year at the time. I think Wigan were in for him but Karl tells a story of him pressuring the Swinton chairman for a decision at the same time Wigan were involved in a league game and, as such, were incommunicado. 


Ashton could have multiple GF, a CC and WCC medals by now. I hope he doesn't regret joining us. 

King is only 50k on the cap so it makes sense to have him on it (marquee) while he is with us.
