indeed they were, dunno where I got Newcastle from ...

Assuming Burns isn't an unpleasant character to have as a team mate, he could go a long way to securing Walsh's presence with us next year.

Just imagine a halfback pairing of Burns and walsh! I'd cream my pants that we would eventually have to qualify halves that both have the complete skills required.

He is the nicest bloke you could wish to meet off the pitch,but on it a different kettle of fish,same as jimmy anderson is at cricket.Proper family man with his 3 kids,a proper bloke.Would be a great signing for you and irreplaceable for us.

You being sarcastic?

If your not then the answer is most certainly not. Lance has developed from terrible to ok at standoff but thats it. People bigging him up have clearly just lowered the bar standard wise. Burns would be a proper partner for Walsh and would make us less predictable as we wouldnt always have to aim at Walsh

I really like Lance. He's been unfairly slaughtered by a section of Saints fans. We could do with him on the pitch for us now, we're missing him terribly.

I agree he's been given a hard time by some saints fans but he's never played really poor but he's also never played like the half people expected.

He always gives 100% and people thought he could just slot in as a play maker but I knew he couldn't play that role.

I think he will he a great addition as utility player off the bench, he's made for that position in this modern game.

I thought he was signing for Wigan to replace Blake Green who's going back to Aus

I don't think Saints will have any competition from Wigan for him. There were a few rumours about us being in for him but I always doubted it due to the options we have with the youngsters. They've played very well in Greens absence which convinces me they'll be given that position to fight over.

I'm more then happy with any one of Powell, Williams or Hampshire getting first go at the position.

Wigan was 100% in for him

I remember you saying you'd hate to see Saints get Burns, despite you're apparent happiness with your kids.
