Yes, Turner will now go back into "project" now that KC has established Owen and Dawson as definite starters.

The mind boggles

Wonder if he will now become a successful player again, it seems to be the case often with players Saints reject.

I heard Burns has been questioning tactics that's why he's been in the bad books

KC needs to realise the whole squad and fans are questioning his tactics as well as many other things.

I've heard a different rumour but not going to mention it on here, just that I'm probably the last to have heard it so I'm guessing plenty others have.

Burns was considered a disrupting influence when with us and didn't seem a team player. Lots of shouting down the young kids etc. Chesters first action with us was to say he was happy to see the back of Travis, guess the treatment he got on his first return to CP spoke volumes about him.

Wonder if this side of his personality is behind his exit. Saying hat he played a fair few match winning performances for us as well.

I can just imagine the conversation between Burns and KC right now. Words similar to or along the lines of:

"Boss. How come Jack Owens gets picked in the side every week, ahead of me, Shannon McDonnell and several promising youngsters?"

KC replies - "Jack has the potential to be a points scoring superstar. Only I have the foresight to see it. We need to give the guy a whole season to prove it."

Burns - "Serious question, Boss. Serious answer required, no jokes please."

KC - "Anyone who knows me, knows I don't do jokes. You must respect my every word and decision, just like the media and the fans."



On a more serious note, it's likely that Burns is unpopular, hence his fallout, but equally, he is likely to have shot his gob off in general and pi**ed on his chips. That's why he's been binned.

Don't you dare try and call him back now I know it's 'only' the Championship and it was 'only' Whitehaven, I am quite happy with his 2 tries 3 goals 2 40/20s and an assist tonight

Re: Burns joins leigh : Sat Jun 04, 2016 10:20 pm  

Travis looked a class act at Whitehaven tonight.

He also spoke fondly of the club, especially your fans and McManus. Again thanks btw, he seems happy and will take us up a level at the business end
