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?

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.

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
