Very interested to see how he gets on. Saw him play a few times at Saints and his lateral movement and pace was great. Plenty of experience in league too so he shouldn't take too long to get to grips with things. Very exciting signing

Well yes my mistake .....Northampton are of course the lesser of the Saints in my book!

Last round of games this weekend, Northampton can finish fourth if they win and qualify for the play offs.

How has he been going in Yawnion? Any body tortured themselves by watching it?

I believe Instagram and Facebook have been told to take down any images of it in line with new government policy.

Without wanting to drift the thread too much I tried searching the internet and came across this article.   I think it’s the only time I’ve read a Daily Mail story related to RL that hasn’t taken a sly swipe and is unusually errr... normal.

I take it the journalist must have been a newbie on probation and has since been fired.

Be your age, Dave!

You could ask it on the criss-cross code rubbish if you're truly interested.

I'm a bit disappointed that despite the word yawnion this thread hasn't been locked or moved yet! Very poor!

I don't believe one single word of that article. In fact doubt that interview even happened at all.

You think the online paper was hacked by a pro-RL sympathiser?

I’m assuming with the current situation regarding Jeremy Kyle that RU is having to be played behind closed doors at the minute.

I don't see it as pro-RL, or pro-RU for that matter either. It's just pathetic Daily Mail clickbait as usual.

I can't imagine Burrell using those same, tired old clichés and stereotypes in an official interview, especially as he was still presumably under contract at the time.

John's slipping and must've forgot his tablets.

But you're quite right the criss-cross coded questionable is his equivalent of the Gardening Magazines at W H Smiths.

Jeesh, tin hat to the ready.

I read the article and found absolutely nothing wrong with it, he gave an honest opinion and was hardly slating union. All he really says is with his international career seemingly over, he wants to move back up north for one reason or another. He also seems genuinely excited to be coming back to league

I hope he goes well, but I've always like Ryan Atkins, is he displacing Atkins?

Journalists don’t make up direct quotes. They may make up stories based on dodgy  unattributed quotes, but I very much doubt those quotes from Burrell about posh dinners etc are fiction

Ok, I'm out of here, this is silly now.
