| Quote: Starman "From the top of my head Wilkin, Walsh, LMS, Turner and McDonnell are OOC this year. There's probably a couple more but these five inparticular are interesting. Who would everyone like to keep/release if it were up to them?
To start us off
Burns should be on that list mate. His time is up IMO. I would also let Walsh go. We carry him at times, defensively the work is being spread out more because I don't think he puts much of a shift in. Long, Goulding, Martyn and co used to put a proper effort in. I'm grateful for LMS's contribution over the years but I think he's a liability like other people have said. I would keep the rest. We'd be lost without Wilkin. The fella carries Saints most of the time.
So posters might think I'm barmy but you could probably release Burns, Walsh and LMS now and I don't think it would hurt us that much.

Burns isn't out of contract this year, though. |

He isn't, but there's quite a few inquiring about him at the moment if rumours are to be believed - palming him off might not be that difficult |

If clubs are sniffing around Burns then we should be looking very hard for someone we could bring in on an instant basis. If we could offload him now and bring in, say, a good quality 9 to rotate with Robes, then we'd be in a better position. I'm not sure I'd let him go if there's nothing out there, though, and the fact that it seems Hudds have come knocking for him as a solution to their problems at 7/9 probably suggests that there isn't. |

Or a good quality 6 and use fages as rotation with Robes. We in dire need of someone who can create something or make a break |

Wilkin out and JT at loose. JT is a big lad and has shown promise when playing at LF where his defence is not too bad when not having to read the plays. I will pay Walsh's ticket home as he is stealing a living at the Saints. I don't think it will be too difficult to replace LMS on less salary. I would persevere with Greenwood for at least another year as he is still young.
