Saints are paying big money for an average player in Burns, yes he tries hard but he is very limited and not naturally talented.

the chubby spiderman from half time would go better than Keating.

We could all go back months and find people's opinions are proven wrong. Personally, I don't think either are good enough for a half decent SL team but signing a player who has played a decent number of NRL games is less of a risk than signing an unknown like rankin. FWIW, burns was also gash last night but isn't as we know

Fair play to Burns for quickly getting changed into that spiderman costume, completing the challenge and missing Chester's half time motivational team talk. And was Geoffrey Giraffe Jordan Cox?

I disagree that he's average. He was clearly shagged last night and should have been brought off, but he's a fantastic 100% competitor and has a skillset that would be better showcased behind a more dominant pack. He's not going unless Rovers sign an upgrade anyway.

I agree. Fantastic competitor. 28 nil down with 2 minutes to go and he tried to kick a 40-20. We battered the hell out of him all night though and it's obvious he isn't popular with our players

Burns is a good player & competitor, but he can be distracted & taken off his game plan very easy, & constantly moans to the ref about what the opposition are doing, when he is one of the worst for niggling etc...will saints be able to stop him from going off his game plan?

Not popular with theirs either, apparently.

Rovers will sign either Sandow or Carney . Both are an upgrade on Trevor Burns.
Saints should be looking at those two , not Trevor !!

Why are we discussing Rovers half back issues on here?

Don't you think they're worthy of a slagging smiggs?

Have to give credit to Burns for his passion, it's just how he channels it that needs work.

Burns is a decent player who plays with 100% heart but not a patch on Dobson imo

Rovers won't sign either of those two.

Yes, a rare highlight. You're quick enough to comment negatively on aspects including coaching, recruitment and so on, yet your only thought on last night's is to big up Rovers signing Sandow? Hmmm, odd focus for someone called HFC Boy, especially given your sig.

A few of the usual negative Nelly's have also gone missing . Mmmm wonder why

Bonaire blames Radford for last night's win.

Yeah not many of the club haters posted since last night, they must hate things going right for us.

They do !!! What flavoured jam do you want tomorrow




Looking forward to work on Monday mate and collecting my £10 bet off stavros

Never wanted a Monday to come so quick!

Last night was brilliant . It is always great to win a derby . The nilling was extra special .
We can bask in the glory for now .
In the context of SL both sides are way off breaking into the top 4 .
Last night was a " City of Hull " RL Cup final . For SL it was a lower league clash that even Sky ignored.
Bragging rights are ours for now . I will enjoy it .
Then I look at the league table and see the real picture.
I apologise if being a realist is deemed by many on here as being negative .
12th place is not acceptable . Do you all think the players and Coaching staff think it is ? No !!
They would echo my sentiments .
As I say , sorry to upset people with my opinion. l love Hull FC with a passion and I will not accept this seasons mediocrity .
Last night was fantastic within the City limits of Hull .
Outside of those boundries in the SL 2014 had been unacceptable

Posted on the Rovers board that is concerning that a few years ago the Derby was contested by quality NRL/International players like Dobson, Newton, Galea, Fitzgibbon, O'Meley and Tom Briscoe...whereas now apart from a few exceptions its a ragtag bunch of castoffs and unknowns on both sides.

as much as seeing Rovers suffer would be amusing, I'd rather see both teams at the KC contesting a 'top8' derby where both have the chance to make the top4 playoffs in a sell-out ground....than see them both in the 'middle 8' gradually getting worse and worse.

both sides have got to hope that the next generation of youngsters are good, because the days of big name Aussies & Kiwi's coming to improve a side are long-gone.

Very true indeed .
You do know that posting sensible comments like that on here , is not allowed !!
The Cuddle Crew will get you !
