What?

Where has this come from?

Completely out of left field.

I am not saying that this is not correct but the HDM is not exactly renounced for accuracy in its reporting. A three year deal at his age and based on his level of performance over the last two years he must be laughing all the way to the bank if it is indeed true. He admittedly played very well for the first part of this season but of late his performances have been very average.

Don't let the door hit your 'arris on the way out Trav.

Lets see which Aussie mercenary we can sign for half an agreed contract next.

If confirmed by the club this moves us from a position of:
Halves: Burns, Keating (Hall backup)
Hooker: Hodgson (Carlisle backup)
to
Halves: Keating, Beharrall(sp) (Marsh backup)
Hooker: Carlisle (Robinson backup)

No need to rush and get my pass just yet then!

I think that's a great bit of business for Rovers personally. I'm not convinced that what Travis brought to the table was to such a high standard we can't replace him. The big issue for me is the scrum half and the hooker role.

Any value in trying Keating at 9 spelled with Carlisle? We've got him (on paper at least) for another 2 years, and if we shuffle our deck this way, we are left with the money from the Hodgson deal and the Burns deal to replace the halves.

I can't believe we've spent £100,000

But Travis should be a player we need to partner Walshy when he's back fit?

Spend wisley Robins hope you can pinch one of the Black n White Sh*** players with the money?

Nah they've go no halves worth having.

Would anyone take Hohaia in return?

How old is he? Would rather go for someone we are able to make a team around for 3/4 years a la Dobson

What's the point? They pi$$ off after a couple of years anyway.

I'd take him if we were swapping for Keating but not Burns. We need an organiser and Hohaia isn't that type of player.

A three year deal for a player with plenty of knocks and miles on the clock with an all action style is too much for us to be offering. I agree, decent business.

Hopefully, Dobson will be rubbich at Salford and then we can sign him on loan half way through next year whilst getting the Good Doctor to pay some of his wages.

Plus his salary I am led to believe to start with a £2 for three years that's a lot of money for a 30 yr old Good business I reckon for Rovers

Two pounds for three years?

We'd have gone bust, good decision by Mike.

Wasn't Dobbo with us for 6 seasons (08-13)? Not a bad stint...

It wasn't a bad stint, I agree. But there's been a revolving door since Blake green got sold. I'd like to see Hudge stop selling our best assets from now on.
I've a bad feeling this is one too many being sold for a quick buck for the detriment of the new season.

Has is performances been average because like us he knew he was going so did not give a sh++e as long has he did not injure his self

Been known for months he was going I agree only decent games were against Saints and Wigan wonder why those two.

Most Aussies are over for a paid holiday and couldn't care less about the club, but any good young player is snapped up as soon as they get any exposure, so basically Rovers are knackered unless they can somehow become a regular top-6 team, which is never going to happen when the board's only annual ambition is beating Hull.

Thought Chester wasnt picking those players leaving?

With a number 6 who is a better team player & organiser Keating may come good Early season him & burns looked like they were going to be a top pair. My personal view is that Burns is to much a loose cannon & although he has played some good games I dont think he is a team player hence some of the abissmal diaplays we have had to endure. All we need is a consistant half who plays to the team plan & can get our big pack runing into gaps the outside backs we now have will do the rest.

He was only average in his first season as well. If what you say is true what's to say he will not behave the same way at Saints having secured a three year deal which could well see him to retirement.

If you believe that you're a fool.
