One really annoying fact is that the reason we've had a rubbish season is because our back line hasn't been up to it even though the forwards and play makers have played well (apart from Keating).

Now we improve our backs just in time for the main play makers to disappear.

I'm sure Chris Chester and the board have a plan, I'm just not quite sure what it is.

Well like a shot rovers should take it

burns is garbage anyway.

I do like contributors who add intelligent comments.

Yep! £100,000 worth of rubbish though. Now jog on before you make yourself look even sillier than you already are doing, there's a good lad.

Yet he'd have walked into your side at any time in the last 7 years.

He'd walk into their side next season as well

He's the best half back in Hull now he seems to have got his head sorted. The fact that teams like Saints and Wigan have been interested in him proves he's quality.

His current standing in the Albert Goldthorpe would suggest he's the form half in the competition. All the more painful to watch his departure unfold.

I can't say I've ever really noticed him when I've seen Rovers play, granted that's just been when they've been on sky or playing Hull. How does he compare to Green, or even Dobson. Will you miss him as much as those two?

This season he's better than Blake Green was in 2011 (which was good). It's hard to compare him to Dobson. He's not as creative, but then he doesn't miss 5 tackles a game either. What he has over both of them is a will to win, a real competitor.

You must be the only one not to notice him then. As Dobson is a 7 and Burns a 6 they don't compare. I believe he is a better overall player than Green, who he replaced. Dobson was the greater miss as his replacement has not lived up to expectations. If Travis leaves how can we say how big a miss he will be until we see his replacement?

He needs to pull his finger out now he's dropped to 2nd!!

FFS 6 & 7 are interchangeable nowadays. The only difference is a number on their back.

Why the swearing? Is it a macho thing?

How does this comment fit with this previous post of yours?

Re: new player
Heard at the game last night that if burns goes we are in for Chris Sandow from paramatta but he is predominantly a scrum half so not sure what will happen with keating First of all a rumour was started on the other forum in jest at us signing Sandow. I don't for one moment believe its true. Second...

I'm a little lost here. Are you talking about Travis Burns?


If so, you must be blind if you've not noticed him as he's been excellent every time I've seen him and he's basically all action.

He's a Hull fan mate so has not seen enough to convince him but as you say great player with energy and enthusiasm in spades, you'll bag a good un

I'll guarantee he will be a better signing than Richie Beaumont for you

By the HDM. As reliable as my mates sisters hairdressers boyfriend. I'll wait until the club announce it.

Just as an aside, as well as mainly being factually wrong, the HDM site is surely the worst site for pop up adds in the entire interwebs.

So annoying!! As soon as the text of the story appears i press the stop button to stop the rest of the page from loading.
