Can you explain then how Terry Campese has been named Hull KR captain before he'd played for the club if all players start on zero at a new club?

Wasn't Morley named Salford captain in his first year there too?

I'm sure there's plenty other examples I could find.

Add kevin sinfield getting the leeds captaincy at 20 before many other senior players and he's done pretty well Id say.

Wasn't Andy Faz Wigan captain at a early age also?

Some players are leaders and some ain't and that's regardless of age or how many years been at the club and Imo Burns is a leader and would be my captain.

so is Travis Burhs hurt or what?.Top secret till the team is picked for the Bunnies:):)

Re: Travis Burns : Mon Feb 16, 2015 9:34 pm  

Burns is playing. He is going to play hooker in a shock decision to drop Roby, due to him slacking off big time against Salford.

What on earth is your problem? This is a message board. Part of the RLFANS site. A site which I and Sadfish created back when you were conducting conversations via postcard.

You seem to think this is some fantasy gumdrop universe where everyone believes your opinion REALLY MATTERS. It isn't.

Message boards are cut-throat environments in which stupid gets what stupid deserves.

If you can't handle that - leave. No one is FORCING you to stay. Alternatively, if you want to stay (and there are plenty of good reasons to stay) - quit whining and grow a pair.

If I threw a tantrum and cried every time someone said mean things about me I'd have probably keeled over with massive coronary infarction ten years ago.

I can see both sides of the argument. If someone came into your work place and started rollocking you after 2 minutes you'd be pretty annoyed.
However, in RL terms sometimes you see players signed by clubs and instantly command respect and become part of the leadership group within that team because of what they've achieved. It happened when Peacock signed for Leeds, Morley signed for Salford, Ellis signed for Hull. Johns at Warrington. These were players that had done it all within the game. Here we're talking about Travis Burns for FFS, and I can guarantee you had Roby, or Wilkin done what Vea did there's no way Burns would've reacted the same way.

Precisely. Burns showed the right kind of fighting spirit following the error in question. And his outburst appeared to work since Vea cut out the sloppy play thereafter. But this does not make him A or THE club leader. Not yet. Guys like Wellens simply won't tolerate anyone exceeding his authority with only two games under his belt. I'm not sure some of the senior players would tolerate too many on-the-pitch trashings of the kids, either. They are a very protective lot.

Travis just needs to do what he's doing. Keep his head down. Play his game. After a season or two his teammates will show him the respect his performances deserve. Or not.

Walsh is playing this weekend

Re: Travis Burns : Tue Feb 17, 2015 10:12 am  

I was gutted when you bought Burns as I really rate him and the gulf in class between himself and Chase is massive. He is a great aggressive player whose passing is brilliant. He will be a star for you lot.
