Just been reading about this chap Burns seems a good buy looks like Rovers will have best half back pairing in hull next season.

It was ever thus.

I sense tongue-in-cheek behind your comment!

Not biting, I am going to suggest both Rovers and FC will be hoping their new half back pairings can gell quickly.

Looking at both clubs 'pairings' (assuming they do start 2013), the styles of 6 & 7 will be very similar. Dobbo and Holdsworth are the generals, and Burns and Chase add brawn and cutting edge.

As for who will have the best pairing - I'm biased but at the same time I'm looking forward to seeing Holdsworth/Chase. Next seasons derbies are already whetting my appetite.

I'm still hearing dobbo not going to be here next season

We'll know more next weekend (1 September) and then the real fun starts lol!

I don't think it's all done and dusted think there will be a few more twists and turns

Holsworth a general!

Not sure I agree with that, Holdsworh is very creative but a general he is not (IMO).

Neither Holdsworth or Chase are 'generals' who will lead a team around the pitch.

Chase is a player who can and does produce individual brilliance if he is not watched like a hawk. Holdsworth is a player who can and does produce individual brilliance every now and again.

Chase + Dobson = dream team.

Holdsworth + Dobson = it'll do.

Chase + Holdsworth = if it's available sign it.

I had a look on YouTube at Travis Burns, just videos of him high tackling or been big hit haha, I don't know what that tells us about him.

Bet you all can't wait til september to see what signings you've made that are going to rip up sl, just hope ours are as promising.

It's your chairman that's said he's bringing in the BEST young English talent, not ours you numpty.
