Im sure Fui Fui Moi Moi will be looking forward to seeing Sam again.

You'd have thought he'd had enough of that . . . . . .

Looking up at Sam from the floor must be playing havoc with Moi Moi's neck

I'm sure Moi Moi is a bigger man than wanting to seek out a bit of Utu

He's definitely of, thats sealed it, it's just a matter of when. I really hope its not for next season though, we really need Burgess, and he would be the hardest lpayer in our squasd to replace.

I agree, you'd have to buy a new centre to replace him.

I am sad to see Sam go but if he is certain to go I'd rather see him go next year & we get some compo.

well will have to look at his reaction on sunday as that could be his last home game at odsal if hes going nxt season if nothing is announced before then

yep i have a feeling it will be burgess last game at odsal for bulls as know souths really want him and think they will have come to a deal with bulls for him.if so i cant blame bulls as rather get some money for burgess rather then him walking away for nothing

I'd rather him play two more seasons for him than allow him to leave for what will probably less than his market value and not see a bean of it go towards signing any players or improving the coaching staff.

Not to mention the money we will lose on merchandise with Sam's name on it.

cant see that hapening as think hes made his mind up about going to oz

think bulls will get a fair sum for him and will use it to strenthen squad with a top class scrum half

But can we actually keep him here for two years if an NRL club comes in by the end of next year? It seems pretty certain the clause exists so perhaps your thinking is a little short term? If Sam has asked for us to release him early if we can strike a deal then I think we are doing the right thing. If he leaves on good terms I'd say the chances of him returning are much higher than if we try keeping him here and holding him back. In four years time there is a good chance his younger brothers could be 1st team players and that would surely be a big plus in our favour when he decides to return home.

He can make his mind up all he wants, he's our player and we decide if he goes before his contract ends, not him.
