Panthers half-back to replace Green

Hull KR have completed the signing of Penrith Panthers half-back Travis Burns on a three-year deal. The 28-year-old, whose NRL season was ended early by a 12-match ban for two separate incidents, will be a straight replacement for Wigan-bound Blake Green Burns, who worked with coach Craig Sandercock at the Manly Sea Eagles, becomes the Robins' fourth confirmed signing for 2013 following the acquisition of Salford centre Sean Gleeson, North Queensland second rower Cory Paterson and Newcastle prop Evarn Tuimavave. Wigan have yet to confirm the signing of Green, who has two years left on his current deal with Hull KR but is thought to have a release clause from the end of 2013 and the club have accepted a transfer fee. Sandercock is a big admirer of Burns' aggressive style of play and feels he will add an extra dimension to the Robins play next season alongside Michael Dobson.
