I hope you are not questioning my dubious sources.
Actually JonH a Wigan fan has heard from sources at Cas of the same rumour.
No not at all - hadn't seen it on the rumour mill on rlfans - for some reason I always forget about that on there - so quite happy to keep an open mind on it now. We certainly could do worse than him and he's not got a bad kicking boot on him. Wonder if it is part of the deal of someone going the other way
Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

I'd have Burns he's a tough player and would slot in well at Wigan. Matty Smith is doing really well at the minute, its tough for him with relatively inexperienced Stand Offs compared to Blake. He is a good Scrum Half with as good a game as Tommy, his kicking game is vastly superior and he has a very good defence. No way would I let the scousers have him, I wouldnt have Tommy over him that would be a backward step.
Burns would be a great signing, I think he suffers a little at HKR from having a sub-standard half-back partner. When partnered with someone like Smith that could be one hell of a combination. Having said that, I still think Powell should be our number 6 next year, but we'll have to wait and see.

I would have Burns in a heartbeat. Quality player.
Who would be your half back pairing choice from the below.
1. Smith & Burns.
2. Smith & Tommy.
3. Tommy & Burns
4. Smith & Hampshire.
5. Smith & Green.
