How did he lead them to a GF? They made the GF on the back of Kasiano, Graham, Barba and Morris. Keating played but he didn't lead. He was average.

| The thing is with recruitment, until the season starts you can choose to talk or down signings depending on your club.
You could say:-
Costigan - Decent defence, nothing going forward.
Keating - He's a hooker not a half.
Weyman - Had his worst season in years, looks slow.
Walker - Injury risk.
Poore - Decent prop, penalty machine.
Feka - Not played well in years or looks in the best shape he's ever been in.
Talanoa - Not played in years or did well for Souths and scored 40 in 95.
Briggs - Never played the game etc etc
I think Rovers have potentially recruited slightly better than us but, time will tell. We don't know how players will go.

Well they didn't make it this year and all those 4 played
It doesn't surprise me you are slating him as he has signed for Rovers yet are raving about feka and the bin man as great signings when neither has played at a good level for at least two years.
At the end of the day we were never going to find a player of a similar ilk to Dobson. Look how you have struggled in this area!!
So we've recruited a half with more of a running game with more organisation falling on the shoulders of Burns by the looks of it.
Decent triangle of players in Eden, Burns and Keating, certainly could be worse.

Which is why it is pointless you, Rupert and other Rovers fans coming on here, both think each others signings are poor and can use spin to say how good their own signings are.
Sad fact is, neither side have improved their team much and doubtful they will improve on last years position, both clubs need to get their youth players coming through, before they can use the salary cap to full effect (like Leeds and Wigan), AP certainly knows this and I would expect NH to thinking the same also.

If he continues with last seasons form and not the previous season, then you won't be far off wrong.

I've said I expect around 8th place again. People posting about finishing top 4 for Rovers are crazy in my eyes.

| Rovers haven't won the league or made the final at Wembley since Gavin Miller played so by your "logic" on Keating maybe they should re-sign him

I'm a little more optimistic providing we can get somewhat of a full strength team out on the park each week,I'm hoping for 6th. But I think many teams are battling for the 6/7/8 place finish, including us.I ain't seen anybody predict us finishing 4th.

Don't think Barba did
And he was the star the previous season.

He did mate. He and Kasiano struggled for fitness all season and Graham missed the first dozen or so.

Not slating Keating, he's an ok player. Just a huge downgrade from Dobson. I don't rate Burns, never did in the NRL.
I've not raved about Feka or Talanoa, both could be very good or very bad signings, we won't know until they play.
I can't make my mind on Rovers, pack could be great or could end up being too old and slow? Pivots are ok and backs are average. I think you'll be around 7-9th.

The bookies wont pay, as they are already listed as winners of everything in 2014
