if Saints were to sign Owen Farrell would the fans be excited . For me he was only in this Lions tour for his goal kicking which no doubt he is world class . But his attacking & defending is not outstanding .

Meanwhile in a parallel universe . . .
Nobody would I imagine I don't think he'd be good enough anywhere in our back line or half backs BUT you can't take it away from the lad he's in NZ knocking over goals for the British Lions and earning some coin also.
He's a better version of Stephen Myler from Widnes very average league half back that has made good career for himself with Northampton
Different game different players styles only a handful suit both I'd say.
Farrell could have a ambition to turn out for Wigan in a RU off season or something. oh god I've gone all Rogues Gallery...
His kicking got the draw for the game and the series. Well that, and a accidental offside were the penalty was not awarded to the AB!
But well done to the Lions.
If it was at all possible is there any Current British and Irish Lion you would like to see playing for Saints? I think Jonathan Davies would do very well.
I stopped smoking and my brother called me a quitter
Maro Itoje probably, a bit like Sonny Knuckle only a lot bigger.
Maro Itoje would destroy it in SL.

Still in Newport....still no nearer home.........
George North, the way he carried the ball and an Aussie opponent on the previous Lions tour was one of the highlights of 2013. Strong, powerful and quick. He'd get more of the ball playing league, like Jonathan Davies (the Ex-Warrington and Widnes winger) said, 'I never caught a cold playing League'...
