The thing is he was offered a contract by Rovers which in his own words was worth peanuts. Whilst Im not for paying players silly money I also believe that a player should be paid his worth. If you are the starting #1 for a superleague club you should command a fair salary that reflects that.

I too was pi$$ed off with the whole Hull FC thing but players have got to earn a living.

All sentiments aside he would be an improvement on our current options and we desperately need some quality. Its never going to happen any way but personally I would be happy with him at fullback.

the thing that gets to me. is that i heard today that wigan offered a massive contract to travis. and he told kr he would sign a new deal if they bought him a new car and to help pay half his monthly mortgage so about 15k in total and kr have refused this.. so we would sooner lose one of our main play maker than offer him the deal he wants, before people jump at this it is what i heard that is all just saying

I said more or less the same thing in an earlier thread. A pal of mine who runs a small business and did some work for Travis Burns, told me a couple of weeks ago that Travis wanted a new car and some more money to stay at Rovers.
I don't now the amounts or anything or if its by way of paying towards his Mortgage, i do know though that he is already on a decent wedge.
I suppose it comes down to just what value a club puts on a player and whether it might upset the apple cart if the club start giving in to unreasonable demands from players .

I asked a guy on the coaching staff last thursday before the salford game if they were after travis, he just laughed and said definitely no chance! He gave the impression than mr wane doesnt want him at wigan

Coaching staff at wigan, the last msg meant

Do people really believe that burns discusses his contract situation with people who come and do work on his house?

yes because I did some work at Gareth Ellis house and he told me he wants more than the 3 million a season hes on now to sign a new contract

Years ago when we had Gavin miller and john dohare (spelling) and the rest rovers the old board paid not only their mortgage but their gas and electric bills and any other bills they had, I know that for sure because my wife was a cleaner in their offices and they just left the bills around when she told me I did not believe her so 6 am next day I went with her and so them for my self, ok we do not want to go back to that but their cars were of other company's

No quota spots left according to Chester, although he is Italian so not sure how that works.

Really unsure and the quota for overseas players these days.
