  As for Dexter ..without being unkind i just can not see what he adds to our best 23 -25 players
 No size , no pace....we need quality.  Lancaster / Shackley or Harrison in the accademy have more potential. 

I think you will find that Dexter is bigger and faster than spencer so i really dont see how you could be saying that. Anyway he is a lot better player than people make him out to be dont forget he is playing in a poor town side so what else would you expect.

perhaps, as often happens, a player playing in a poor team moves on and gets shown up as exactly that, a player standing out in a poor team! i'd like to be wrong, and i hope i am, i guess a lot of it depends on who is going to be coaching next season, if its ditherham then dexter has no chance!
the reverand, big mac

Just cause you don't understand what's going on don't mean it don't make no sense
And just cause you don't like it, don't mean it ain't no good

Trouble is, he doesn't even STAND OUT in our so called poor team.  For the last
two season he has ended up being a make shift centre, because he's not good
enough in the second row.  He very rarely breaks the line, and isn't even a definite
starter for Town when we have a fully fit squad.  Good honest hard working defensive
player, but nothing special so cannot see how he can suddenly step up and be a decent NL1
player even with the greatest coach in the world.   I thought your club had a lot more
ambition than taking average Town players? ::)

i thought when rotherham came he would have connections within super league clubs but as you say we just seem to be after town players who dont really stand out ie ricky wright dexter lavulavu (although i think lavu could be a decent player for us if he has signed)
