Does make a lot of errors and more worringly ALOT of missed tackles. But he has plenty of potential and his performance on sunday was superb. If he can work more on getting rid of the errors in his game,he's a future international.

I don't know why the Bulls are so weak when it comes to contracts and the NRL. We let one of the brightest young British talents n the game go for £100k, while Salford got £250k for Myler. Bradford is Whitehead's hometown club, so it isn't a case of he doesn't want to be here, but he might prefer to go Sydney. But if the Bulls put a transfer fee on his head, Souths will probably back-out and Whitehead will probably be happy still playing for his hometown club.

The massive strength of the AUD (and NZD) at the moment makes Aus (and NZ) salaries look much higher in GBP terms than they have ever done. So expect a lot more tempting from the antipodes, I'm afraid.

What the aspiring Brits won't realise till they get there is that most of their costs will be in AUD or NZD too, and so they won't be quite as well off as they thought they would be.

It is exactly the opposite of several years ago, when Sterling was far stronger than the Aussie or Kiwi. Then, we were able to attract lots of antipodeans with what looked on paper to be fabulous salaries (except for Wire, obviously, where players go because it has always been their lifetime's anbition and not at all for the money...). Then they had the mother of all shocks when they realised about housing costs and the cost of living generally, and that their costs were in Sterling too.

I'd imagine it's likely down to him hearing how much Sam and George are enjoying it down under and wanting to test himself in the best RL competition, if only for a couple of years.

When Aussie clubs were rumoured to be sniffing around Mossop and the Tomkins they were given 5 year deals. Be interested to see how the approach of the Bulls compares.

It might be a better lifestyle but at their current age and development, all 4 Burgess brothers will not be on the team sheet for the Rabbitohs!

They have a squad filled with International forwards, Luke is only getting a game due to the injuries they have got this season.

I would prefer to play 1st team for a super league club for the next 3/4 years, then look to move when i'm able to compete for 1st team spot. Not sit in reserve grade, hoping one of my brothers gets injured!

Young Tom could be a cult figure at the Bulls, just depends on how he wants to be remembered I suppose.

Problem there is that, for instance, when I was 19 I couldn't have given a sod about "how I'd be remembered", I suspect the current crop of 19 year olds wouldn't either, and I wouldn't blame them, at that age life's for living not remembering.
