Which player, past or present, do you wish Saints had signed? Rob Burrow. It's Leeds very sad what's happened to him he would have been been amazing at Saints

Why do you love being a Saints fan? I love the atmosphere it's amazing when you can never write off the Saints and when they score a try especially Wigan matches. It's the best feeling ever.

I've been a Saints fan since I was 7 with my dad who passed away 2013.

But now I enjoy watching the rugby with my son Joshua Smith 14.
