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.

Tony P. The man is magic.

But I agree, Jammers presence is going to be a big gap to plug and will take more than one man, even Laffranchi. Perry's been unlucky, I reckon. He's had some injuries, but got through that cracked knuckle without missing a game and was unlucky to cop a suspension for 1 game. I think he's been great when he's played, though.

Poor against the Bulls for me.
Id take Burgess on loan,defo.

He wasn't the only one.

Never really seen that much in Luke Burgess to be honest. He lives off Sam's name I think, yet he's nowhere near as good.

i have burgess over griffin he is still young and could work out to be a very good signing

Griffin is miles better than Burgess. Burgess would be worth a punt as a try-it-and-see sort of signing, whereas Griffin would be a major signing in my book.

Burgess is much like Maurie

Good bit of grunt and the occasional go forward but frequently prone to brain farts.

I doubt he would leave Yorkshire too, he would fill a gap if only temporarily.

Lets be realistic if Leeds are letting him out on loan it will be to a team in the bottom group of the table.

So the idea is a non starter.

Still strange the reasoning behind it

Leeds have given permission for Ben Cross to talk to other clubs too. Looks like they are having a clear out for a big front row signing.

I'm very disappointed about this because prior to Cross and Perry coming over here I was really looking forward to those two getting into it but they've been a right pair of pasties.

I'm not sure he'd be a major signing, but he's better than Burgess.

I have. For instance he scored a winner against us at KR a few season s back and that game we had with a bit of biff, when Maurie got concussed, Burgess really stepped up a gear when the going got tough.

But those big performances, combined with the fact he struggles to cement a place must mean there's some big holes in his game somewhere. I think I recall a Leeds fans critisising his defence in some way.

Wasn't Baloo seen in the same light? not a lot of minute per game when at Bradford, came to Saints changed his game and was brilliant. ([sizebest kicker we have had[/size )
