It makes a change you not writing a player off.

Burgess should go if he gets the opportunity. I'd be highly surprised if he got to play any 1st grade but Tansey did so you can never say never.

Mr Hetherington can ask for a fee and form another partnership (or renew an existing one) to the exact valuation.

Best post of the year without a doubt - had me laughing out loud.

If I was him and I had the offer, I'd go. Could be a big loss for us, but I would like to see some sort of option to re-sign him if he comes back.

To be fair he's not had a huge amount of game time this year and he's clearly not in the 1st choice 17 at the moment.

let him go if he wants, no great loss.

if we were spoilt for props i'd suggest he went back to quins on loan so he got some game time but we dont have that luxury

Souths signing Luke would be as much about enticing all the brothers there and the consequent media stories that will help them as his on-field ability. I suspect he could make the grade, although he'd have to work on his mobility, which is the thing Sam possesses in spades.

I have no problem at all with English players going to the NRL. Good luck if it happens.

Don't let gotcha catch you saying that.

Luke Burgess has several deficiencies within his game that he urgently needs to remedy His ball retension as he always tries to make a play available, but inevitably the ball more often than not ends up in the oppositions hands
2 His laterall defence is none existant at present, if an attacker runs the angles at him then he's through without even a hand layed on him

Any imminent move to the NRL may be a jump too soon at present for Biffa IMO

But this cannot be true. Gotcha said its not.

No he didn't, did he really?

Gotcha said the comment about ball retention is out of date and simply not true. All you have to do is look at the stats. Then tell me the same thing again.

The comment about laterall defence is a comment made from actually watching the game, and one I don't think can be argued with at present, as it happens.

Dropping the ball often though is a comment without foundation, unless you are living pre 2010. You see the difference?

Ball retention should be easy to sort - all you need is a decent pair of undies.

Defensive immobility would definitely be exploited in the NRL. It does strike me as being the sort of thing that can be improved on through training though.

Mentioned in today yep about them being after him for next year.

If he does go he could come back to haunt us when he's matured as a prop... the NRL will definately improve him massivley if he was to play regularly but i doubt he'd get many games..
