Quote: Smurf "Having watched South Sydney all season, I don't think Tom Burgess is ready for this level yet, but I'd love him to prove me wrong. George should cause a stir though.
Graham and O'Loughlin are a big loss, obviously disciplinary reasons involved but we could have done with their leadership.'"
I thought for about 4 or 5 games Tom was better than George and then he was left out as Souths hit the play off's and replaced with a couple of players who were not as effective – certainly he was playing better than Asotasi who played through the semi’s. Personally I think that Tom is well suited to International league as he is very direct with a lot of size (bigger than George and probably the biggest in the squad) and his tackle effectiveness is also very good. Funnily enough, I think George looks more mobile in attack but Tom in defence
