Perhaps our coach doesn't rate Green and overall we're more than happy to replace his quota spot with Burns.
If the HDM's £100k figure is anywhere near correct - I think we've got a good money deal outta' the situation if nothing else.

My thinking exactly.

CS has worked with both players now so he is the best person to judge, I like it!

Or maybe he rated Green better but he didnt want to stay at the club and thought Burns was the best replacement

I think that both opportunities have come at the right time for burns and green, opportunity for rovers to make sum money as app there is a clause in greens contract for end of next season so like the Taylor one I'd say rovers are cashing in now, If green doesn't want to stay at rovers or any of the players then I say get rid get some Money for them and get the players in that want to play for kr, I agree with Sandra I think Craig hall is far better at 6 and I wud give sheriffe the no 1 shirt he's come on leaps and bounds and he Is always talking on the pitch, I would defo give salter no 4 the only dubious one is dobbo as there are a fair few rumours flying about, only another month before we find out really who is coming and going.

I think we need that bit of grunt in the halves rough the opposition up a bit and looking at burns on u tube he's certainly Gonna ruffle a few feathers

We have gone soft just lately, we are in need of an enforcer.

Travis Burns is the same height as Chuck Norris, so he's well hard.

176cm to be precise and 85kg in weight that will do nicely

just watched this guy on the tube, hurry over you look like what we have been missing for ages my one fear is he a david watkins

Another full back a winger and another forward on top of these players and i think we will be ok good blend of experience and youth.

My guess:

Fullbacks - Hall and Sheriff
Wings - Hodgson, Caro (?), Latus
Centres - Welham, Gleeson, Salter
Halfs - Dobson and Burns - need some cover, though Hall could go into 6.
Hookers - Hodgson, Withers (and Carlile?)
Props - Taylor (or a replacement), Paea, O'Hara, ET, Green, Netherton (and Beaumont?)
Second row - Paterson, Cox, Mika, Horne
Loose forward - Lovegrove, Griffin.

with uncertainties that's ~25 players. I'd expect Peterson to be retained, Ollet, Heil and Johnson would depend on who's coming from behind, in the 20s and 18s.
We could do with somebody who can cover 7 and a wing (Dave Scott, perhaps)
