I think Keating can go out and execute a game plan, but struggles when having to make spontaneous decisions.

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.
