His position in the team has certainly been under scrutiny if not by the coaching team then certainly by the fans. Grumbles on the terraces every time he gets the ball and doesnt make a decent kick or make a break can hardly have done the guy any favours in the confidence stakes. Personally i would prefer to see him play on the right hand side and Travis on the left. Im not a fan of this one side and another for half backs, sure on the defensive side but not in attack. A good half back is there to control the game and im afraid he drifts in and out the game far too much to having a lasting impact on it. I hope Robinson is given a go, ideal opportunity to blood a youngster or potential banana skin for the wannabe coach. suppose we'll have to wait and see.

The season isnt done just yet beat hull and cats we could be 7th,and as for not not needing time to bed in,burns was ordinary a lot of last season,and been superb this season,which puts holes in your theory.

This season is done. we could be 7th? wow. Burns showed he could come good behind a scrum half in Dobson who ran everything. Scrum half is scrum half. No holes in my assessment.

I agree with you. Walsh at saints didn't need time when he put a saints top on at the beginning of the season. Difference is, he is a quality player. Keating is not. One half decent game won't change my opinion.

So your saying because burns was ordinary last season that means he is not quality unlike walsh,some gell straight away,some dont and take time. I agree keatings been poor this season,but since chesters took over,he seems to be playing in a different role not just laying the ball off all the time. Trust me if burns goes it will take the guts out of rovers,whether he didnt get into his stride last season or not. IMO a better halfback than dobbo and more important,probably the most influential halfback in s/l.

Your right. Burns was average last year. But Keating has on the whole been bloody awful. That there is the difference.
