If he goes to Oz we will get either 1 quality or two good players in return.

yep think oz best bet and have a clause in his deal that we have first refusal on him and if he decides to go else where if we keep his super league reg bulls get a transfer fee

That sounds like the best option if he is to leave.

Aussie clubs dont pay transfer fees!

The vast ammounts that have been mentioned that would be enough to entice sam away from the bulls, sadly wont be coming from australia

to be honest think bulls would rather have players then money at mo anyway

As I said today at the game, if he is keen on going now then we'd be daft to keep him here. If we do the right thing by him he may well return in 3/4 years time when perhaps we'll be in less of a mess.

true think if bulls can get 2 class players from oz for burgess i wouldnt be against it plus think hed come back a better player for it

That sounds fine in principal mate,but how long do you get these 1 or 2 quality players for before they go home?

As will be the case when Gaz Ellis wants to come home,will Sam also go to the highest bidder?

Does that deal then look so appealing?

Does this recompense a club that has nurtured such a talent as Sam?

Just because it isn't common practice doesn't mean that they can't.

Realistically speaking, how much would you consider that an aussie club would pay in cash for sam?

I'd take greg inglis as a transfer fee

nice one

If they want Burgess, the club can demand something in return.

Bottom line is he's got 2 years left on his contract and can't go anywhere without the Bulls say so. If the club are willing to release him, I highly doubt it will be for nothing.

why would Lyon want to play for Bradford? There's only 1 SL side he could ever play for. Saints!

i think a few on here still have big club mentalities which because of your coach (or lack of) is sorely misplaced.
Aim lower than Lyon.

Brough has signed a 3 year extension so that ends that one. FWIW i don't think you could afford his wage anyway!
