Quote: Bullseye "Going to the NRL is all very well but Burgess is still a kid who's yet to prove himself as a consistent SL player.
Of course he'd look better in a better side than us but talk of NRL is premature IMO.'"
I'd agree with this. From what I've seen of Burgess so far he has something of the Gareth Hock 'flat track bully' about him (no drug references intended) - looks like a world beater against mediocre opposition (including a poor Kiwi touring side), but seems to go missing in the bigger games.
I've no doubt he will be able to develop into a more consistent player but at the moment he should not be considered the finished article by any means. Playing in a better and more confident side would of course help him. I also agree that McNamara should stop moving him about - I suspect second row is his best position, but as Bradford are well-stocked in this department I can understand why he's not getting regular game time there.
