With the influx of new backs (and others) I wonder if Burns will stay, knowing our strikeforce is improving.

According to a journo on twitter* Saints have offered 80k - fair deal?

*The Saints media manager denied it in response to the tweet.

There seems too much smoke here for there to be no fire.

Or a smoke machine.

Wrong question. Without him we have no capable halfbacks. Question should be 'Is getting 80k enough considering without him relegation will be a distinct possibility.

You're absolutaly right, 80k or even 180k is no good if you cant replace Burns with someone of the same quality and for less money, otherwise it could be counter productive and end up costing the club far more if it ends up in a relegation battle next season.

Travis has just got to agree personal terms now with St Helens.
£100,000 to HKR.

So we've lost our best 2 players who were both contracted for at least next year. I know theres all this can't blame them, we got the cash etc but for me it shows a lack of loyalty, or buying into a plan if there is one from the players. Are we underpaying? Thats hodgson, taylor, paea, burns, dobson? green all of whom where our better players at that time and all have just walked or been allowed to. How do you ever get consistency unless you want to be consistently average. Shows a lack of ambition from the club

Does it show a lack of ambition by the club I do not think so its ok getting players to sign a contract but they don't mean a thing if said player wants to go what do you do say no

Youve got to ask yourself why they want to leave. We should be on a par wages wise, so it just comes down to winning things or potential to do so. seemingly players buy into fc more than they do us.

Seems like you guys have made a play for Chris Sandow from Parramatta

Any link?

Always spot on with their news

As he has a current deal worth $550k (£300k) per year, I think it unlikely he will rock up on Preston Road anytime soon.

Simple solution, heavily backload his contract and we'll never have to pay it when we flog him part way through his deal

Believe it or not on the parramatta fans forum they fancy KK,some sort of deal + cash ?

Win win

One really annoying fact is that the reason we've had a rubbish season is because our back line hasn't been up to it even though the forwards and play makers have played well (apart from Keating).

Now we improve our backs just in time for the main play makers to disappear.

I'm sure Chris Chester and the board have a plan, I'm just not quite sure what it is.

Well like a shot rovers should take it

burns is garbage anyway.

I do like contributors who add intelligent comments.

Yep! £100,000 worth of rubbish though. Now jog on before you make yourself look even sillier than you already are doing, there's a good lad.
