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.

It's always good to get well thought out comments from rival fans that advance the discussion. We have not done very well this year, there is no denying that. However we would have been much higher if we had been able to play you at home every fortnight. You must really love coming to East Hull.

It isnt 100K the fee paid was 60K fact. That article is wrong.

We are at the end of one of the worst periods in Saints history. Some of our recently departed players wouldn't nave been classed as reserves 10 years ago. We are at present rebuilding the squad to get back to where we think we deserve to be. We're not there yet but we finished top. You didn't make the 8. My comment was merely a dose of reality.

See you next season with what I am certain will be a far different result.

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.

Have you seen him play? I agree with most of that but to say he's clever and has a kicking game is very wide of the mark. The biggest fauls we've had this year is a severe lack of brains and any form of kicking game. Our last play options have been almost comical. The key for you will be how he plays alongside Walsh who does have the kicking game and brain. I still think you'd have been better signing a running 6 who could play off the shoulder of walsh.

interesting, who is leaving Saints this season and coming in next season? must be at the cap now.

Laffranchi, Manu, Soliola and Clough for definite. I suspect Wheeler also. In short quite a few big hitters.

We aren't at the cap. We have space for another signing after Burns.

Laffracnhi, Manu, Soliola, Clough and Wheeler leaving.

Vea and Burns coming in so far.

A 6 and a 7 wonders will never cease.

When can we start the scapegoating

Having 2 proper half-backs just feels wrong.

We've only brought in Vea and Burns and have Sia, Manu, laffranchi, clough going. The first 3 are on good money as well.

Easy enough room for another player at least.

Wheeler as well, who was on a decent wedge according to rumour (though not the superstar money laffranchi and Manu supposedly pick up).

Always a good sign when opposition fans start calling for the cap limit!

I know what wheeler on and it's not fantastic

Fair play, I was led to believe he was on an "average sl salary" which is roughly 50k - I will bow to those with greater knowledge on the matter.

Between Clough and Wheeler there should be enough for all the upgrades, which leaves Sia's Manus and Laffranchis left to bring others in. Were shaping up well imo, just need another forward and well be set to go!
