If you believe that you're a fool.

Disappointed that he's going, but if the fee is as reported then I can very much see why. Had a couple of decent years from him, and it's not like we paid anything for him. Roughly equivalent to selling 500 extra passes for next year.

That said, we do desperately need good replacements for him and J.Hodgson, or that gain might be wiped out by a drop in sales and next season, this year might seem like the good old days.

To lose Green, Dobson, Hodgson and Burns over 3 seasons - well I guess you can look at it as a clean slate for Chester, or the mother of all rebuilds.

I don't think Chester will be as disappointed as some on here that he's gone.

How so? Bad apple was he?

Not that Im aware of.

I had the pleasure of meeting him,his wife and 3 kids,totally different to when he is on the pitch. Its hard to to keep flogging a dead horse when you know others aint pulling their weight,a good bloke and wish him and his family the best,except against us.

Top guy and all that but not been happy since Craig was sacked, his mucker too (JW).

I am afraid to say Keating is next; clear the air talks resulting in 'we won't stand in your way if you find another club' - the Sharks. . .maybe. The exodus continues!

Why be afraid? There will be plenty dancing in the streets if Keating is next.

I don't think it will be to hard to find some one better then him do you

I recall Dobbo being so-so in his first season at Rovers and then finding his straps (as they say).

IMO Keating's problem is being part of a partnership with an over-bearing 6. Keating has been in Travis's shadow although the one game where Keating dominated was in the draw against Wigan - Travis had a battle royal with Green so had to leave Keating to his own devices, and I thought we saw the player that helped the Doggies get to the GF.

As for finding a replacement for Keating, its bad enough sourcing one pivot but Rovers might well be looking for three!!!

Tripe, Dobson hit the ground running, 8 tries in 14 appearances and he immediately became the focus of our attack.

Don't forget, he had already tasted SL with Catalan & Wigan so this no doubt helped him settle quickly.
