Quote: TOMCAT "May be Souths don't want or need him back? Having opted out of the club for a different code on a three year contract, I assume the Souths made plans to deal with that reality. I don't get to watch the NRL so I don't know how competitive their pack looks with out big Sam But if they're going OK maybe Souths have other recruitment priorities?
I would love to see us sign Sam Burgess, but I wonder if the NRL will prove a stronger £ pull. That's assuming that he leaves Bath in the first place.'"
Agree, there are many possibilities / permutations. But the longer the rumours continue, and the less Burgess does to quash them, the more a deal looks likely. Especially when people who are genuinely itk (not in an attention seeking way like Gotcha) are starting to report it.
