Rich Beaumont and Franke Mariano have been handed pro deals for next season.

Good luck to them, hope they go on to have excellent careers.

Dont know alot about Beaumont, what position is he?

typo - hmmmmmm, he's a prop. This maybe suggests we will only make one more signing, if any, as we would now be running with a squad of 26 made up of 8 home grown (one more than required) 12 fed trained and 6 non-fed trained.

Prop.

Fairly tall, workhorse type rather than a tackle buster

Very solid in defence

Beaumont being promoted has no relevence for or against the matter. His promotion has been in the pipeline for months.

I hope so, I put money into Rovers in a small but effective way(I have a ad board!!!!) and have heard nothing. I know we are skint but surely we could bring 2 animals of front rowers in not breaking the bank, if not then why the f**k get rid of Aizue... and even Gene as he would play there!

But he's right about that making 26 players in the first team squad now, isn't he?

WTF are you playing at?

This is a perfect opportunity for you to state the irrelevance of these promotions as they'll never play anyway á la Spaven, Esders and Watts.

FFS, just what is [iwrong[/i with you?

Don't need to do that anymore - I've got you so well trained you do it for me.

So, a squad of 27 next season - current 26 under contract, minus Mills, plus 2 top drawer props. Not too shabby.

Bloody Wimmin, forever changing the ruddy goal posts!

Women get the last word in every argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
