Ill be happy when its confirmed on Saints website - HDM have a propensity for getting things wrong...

£100,000 to Saints is like Utd signing Di Maria

I am surprised If you really have signed Travis for three years at his age. He admittedly played very well in the first half of this season but lately he has been very average. Last year his first with us left most fans quite disappointed at the level of his performance. I presume you have offered him a good wedge. He must be laughing all the way to the bank. I cannot question his commitment on the field even if he does not always channel it in the right direction. If he does join you I wish him success but not when you play us of course.

Your talking about a club who gives a 4yr deal to Lance Hohaia?

Probably gave Travis a 3yr deal to beat Wigan's intrest?

If you think that is a true comparison of their worth either in playing or financial terms I think you will be disappointed.

In your team Cooper Cronk and Johnathon Thurston would look bang average.

In yours Lance Hohaia would, oh hang on he does........

On a more serious note I would add Burns does seem to be a less extravagant version of Rangi, he adds a lot in terms of competitiveness and off the cuff play but that seems to be at the detriment of the team as a whole. Will be interesting to see how he goes alongside Walsh as he never worked alongside Dobson.

As someone said earlier he was top drawer earlier in the season but has been dreadful in the 2nd part of the season whether this was down to his impending move we'll never know. In all fairness I'd gladly take Hohaia as a swap.

Burns is a good player. He's clever, can run with the ball, good kicking game, tackles and is very aggressive but he's also a winner. He's a very good competitor and that's what we lack in this team.

If we keep him and Walsh fully fit then we got a quality halfback pairing and something we not had in Many years.

Brown said Dave Hewitt from our academy will be used in pre-season as he thinks he'll be ready?
I've watched Hewitt in the games before the first team at home and he looks good with a superb kicking game? Barry Mac on Boot n All was singing his praises last week on Sky also?

Yes I heard Barrie Mac saying that. Maybe we will give Hewitt odd games next year to work him in a little.
