I thought IL had paid far, far less that £180k for Blake Green, Scott Taylor and Matty Smith combined.

Thought it was:

Green: £100k
Taylor: £100k
Smith: £50k

Did you move out of Warrington?

considering we only got 250k for Joel Tomkins it would be hard to imagine that IL is willing to spend 180k on Burns or that he paid 200k for Green (even though in my opinion he is worth that).

Not a chance in hell Lenagan will part with 180k for Burns.

Agreed. I really do think that Burns would be a great signing but would have thought he would be on a lot more money at Hull KR than we would offer him at Wigan (considering he is their star player and we have several who would be on that sort of money).

Discontent at the Bronco's could lead us to a new centre?

Amidst all the despondency on the Hull FC board, it is being furthered by rumours that Ben Crooks will be leaving and maybe Tom Lineham too.
Crooks is at Doncaster and Lineham didn't look good at all on Friday night, although he wasn't the only Hull FC player that looked out of form.
Does anyone think either or both would be worth considering?

Lineham looked massively out of shape on Friday night. I know he's a big lad but he looked far too heavy for a winger. I think we have enough quality on the wings with Charnley, Burgess and Manfredi.

Crooks looked excellent last season and he has massive potential, but for some reason seems out of favour this year. He is a natural right-sided centre, something I think our squad is lacking for next season once Goulding goes. Personally I think Crooks would be worth considering, but I think Wane is going to stick with 2 of Thornley, Gelling and Sarginson for 2015.
