lets get him NOW before we have anymore injuries..

Which Burgess would that be?

Luke

Would be a good signing. Makes you wonder what Leeds are up to. They are obviously clearing the decks for something big.

Thats a bit random, I was under the impression he was a decent player, am I wrong?

It's a strange one. He's been Leeds best forward this season according to their fans, but was dropped about a month back and hasn't had a look in since. Their Chairman says its because of the outstanding form of the other players in that position, but Kylie L runs for 30m most weeks and looks to be in terrible form. The likes of Kirke and even Peacock haven't exactly been storming recently either, they've been totally dominated most weeks.

I'd say it's either because they want to sign someone for this season and need to clear cap room. Otherwise, why wouldn't they play him? if it was just form, they would just keep him as backup and rotate the squad.

NRL with his brothers

There's a slight inconsistency in the statements from Leeds. Hetherington says Burgess is leaving to have a crack at the NRL, and McDermott is saying he's leaving because he wants guaranteed 1st team rugby. Surely he can't be under the impression that he'll be guaranteed first team action in the NRL.

I think he's got a few too many errors in him, which may be what holds him back.
I'd get him in for a month while clough finishes his recovery.

If we could afford him for the rest of the year I think Burgess would be an excellent signing.

I cant say I remember seeing cross play but I'm surprised he's not ahead of crap like Ian Kirk or that Weller Hauraki (sp) bloke

Burgrss could be usefull but if he wants a guaranteed 1st team start wqe cant give him one,best we could do is a place on the bench for him.Not surprised they are letting Cross go the times ive seen him he has been awfull

Well, Perry is a biscuit, Cloughie is a few weeks away yet and Moore has disappeared, so we are without three grunt men. If Burgess could provide some grunt, even if he made errors sometimes, that would be better than over-using our remaining big men.

Man are we going to miss Jammer next season. He's the only reliable big man on the team.
