Quote easthull4="jonh"Burns is OCC I thought so there would be no reason to pay a fee for him. Even if he had 1 year to run in his contract the figure quoted seems very steep.'"

You paid £200 grand for Blake Green and he only lasted 2 years I am. Rovers supporter and would be sorry to see him go as far as I am aware he has a year to go on his contract and was discussing extending it until your mob poked there nose in pestering his agent or so I am told.
But if you paid for Burns for one of his years or part of his contract we have had. Burns free and it looks like you are going to pay for the next one we bring over I did not realise we were a feeder team for the Warriors,. It will end up a Superleague of maybe 6 teams hope you enjoy it. I may sound bitter and I suppose I am it's not the clubs benefitting from players transfers but the agents pushing there clients around to make money.Its ironical that William Wilberforce came from Hull as he was one of the instigators to abolish slavery.
I admire your clubs youth system and the way Shaun Wayne has your team playing and bringing on your youngsters why can't you leave our players alone and just use what you have got. We gave Burns a chance when no one wanted him he was average last year partnering Dobson but has come on leaps and bounds this year,otherwise you would not have even considered him.
I wish him well if he does cross over to you but I only hope the rumours are not true and he stays with us'"

We probably don't have any cap space. So many players have had their contracts renewed it's bound to affect the salary cap.


Trouble is our two highest paid players and them being two of our three marquee players haven't played for months. French has been out for a couple of months and Thompson since the Catalans game when we also lost Walters.  Although Walters has returned he was out for around 10-11 weeks Thompson still hasn't played.  That is just too much talent missing from the squad  not to have an adverse effect on performance..


If there was a shake up needed then Forber to be bench 9 instead of Leeming.  Walters right 2nd row and Junior off the bench. Maybe also Eckersley to replace Wardle for a couple of weeks so get Jake rested and fit again.


IMO our first 17-20 is the best in SL and by some distance. For that to be reflected in performance they all have to play especially our best players which they plainly have not.
