It seems the Burgess brothers a very close nit

Think he is potentially a little suspect with his injuries, if he has knocked us back once wanting to play for Wigan that would end my interest in him. If he doesn't want to come he isn't that good to lose sleep over. Would prefer burgess anyway

with hetherington saying the squad would be finalised in 10 days we will be linked to loads of players, more bothered about Aiton ban news than mossop coming hope that is sorted out b4 the 10 days are up. new players will either come or not but thats out of our hands and wont stop us turning up again come feb.

I'm sure they'll find a way to fit him in "under the cap", they've done it before.

Surely this means George and Tom will replace JP and Kylie at the end of the season and Sam can then replace JJB after the RU world Cup.

Quite a good job by Mr Hetherington

Hmm hmm if only

We've signed Larne Patrick on loan today for the season, so wouldn't expect another prop in, unless Taylor goes out on loan as has been rumoured. Not sure whether the right of first refusal would entitle Wigan to a fee, so that may be something to consider for any other SL clubs going for him.

Surely if Wigan decline, or don't have space on the cap, then he's a free agent?

You watched a different year to me. I'd happily have him back and was a little sorry to see him go, but he needed a lot of polishing in 2009. Good carries but dropped the ball at some silly moments and was too often flat-footed in defence.

I would feel much happier about next season with him and/or Lee Mossop in the side.

Happier still with Shaun Lunt in it.

I think I'm right in saying Burgess left midway through 2011, and was probably our best prop during the first half of that year.

Yep, that's my recollection too. Compared to 2010 there was a huge improvement, and I was disappointed to see him go.

Wouldn't mind if we did

Patrick has signed for Wigan hasn't he? I watched Mossop in his very limited time at the eels and whilstn his mobility is a plus, he's not physically imposing enough for me (he was the poorest of England's prop options at the world cup for that reason). He also dropped a couple of clangers for the eels, but given his rustiness due to injury perhaps that's to be expected. Add in his injury issues and I wouldn't be bothered if he goes elsewhere.

This what he does - his mistakes are often game changers, not for me, interest in him shows a level of desperation that we should not be finding ourselves in
