Rumour going about in. Hull Warriors have paid £180,000 for Travis Burns for 2015 season and beyond any confirmation from your patch

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Wed Jul 16, 2014 9:24 pm  

Burns is OCC I thought so there would be no reason to pay a fee for him. Even if he had 1 year to run in his contract the figure quoted seems very steep.

Burns is ooc at the end of 2015 (assuming there's nothing in the rumours he had a get out clause linked with sandercock) - but I agree, with a year to go 180k is way too much

You paid £200 grand for Blake Green and he only lasted 2 years I am. Rovers supporter and would be sorry to see him go as far as I am aware he has a year to go on his contract and was discussing extending it until your mob poked there nose in pestering his agent or so I am told.
But if you paid for Burns for one of his years or part of his contract we have had. Burns free and it looks like you are going to pay for the next one we bring over I did not realise we were a feeder team for the Warriors,. It will end up a Superleague of maybe 6 teams hope you enjoy it. I may sound bitter and I suppose I am it's not the clubs benefitting from players transfers but the agents pushing there clients around to make money.Its ironical that William Wilberforce came from Hull as he was one of the instigators to abolish slavery.
I admire your clubs youth system and the way Shaun Wayne has your team playing and bringing on your youngsters why can't you leave our players alone and just use what you have got. We gave Burns a chance when no one wanted him he was average last year partnering Dobson but has come on leaps and bounds this year,otherwise you would not have even considered him.
I wish him well if he does cross over to you but I only hope the rumours are not true and he stays with us

Dont think we paid 200k for green???

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Wed Jul 16, 2014 10:35 pm  

100k was the figure rumoured for Green.

Not a chance in hell Lenagan will part with 180k for Burns.

It's swings and roundabouts mate you'll sit there having a go at Wigan for taking Taylor, Green & possibly Burns yet conveniently forget to mention that you poached Goulding from us for 2015 and are desperately praying that rumours of interest in Charnley are true. It's called life, Rugby League is like any other team sport the better clubs are often taking players away from the smaller clubs. I'm sure you've been around long enough to grasp that concept it's just the price you pay for supporting a side that's not financially as strong as some other sides. I'd hardly call taking 3 players away making you our feeder club 95% of Super League are made up of ex Wigan players either directly or indirectly yourselves included Hodgson, Goulding, Gleeson to name just a few that pulled on the red of KR or are going to and its not going to end any time soon.

Transfer fees tend to be basically the remaining contract salary that is to be paid to the player.

I would doubt Burns is on £180K a year. I expect if we were to pay a fee, which I think we should £70k-£90k would be much closer to the mark.

You haven't quite grasped the concept of a "feeder club", have you? Remind us again how many of your academy products are playing for us (or any other SL side)...

A choice of living in Wigan or Hull?

When someone is faced with that dilemma and they choose Wigan, you know something is wrong with your city.
