Source?

Can anyone see him pulling up any trees considering he didn't do much for the treble winners in his time up here? Not even nearly considered for an international call up.

Best of luck to him, I hope he proves me wrong as I don't think he's up to it over there.

Interesting to note that I was told a Burgess was coming over more than 6 weeks ago now. But was thrown off the scent by a Souths official suggesting it was the twin and they wouldn't be coming to Souths.

Sucked in. As they say over here.

I wonder what George would think about his brother coming over and in effect taking a spot form him in the NRL line up? He's been in Reserve Grade all season, though is out with injury.

So now he's off to play in the NRL he will be nailed on for an England call-up?

I can't see Luke Burgess getting a gig in the first team very often. I think they've signed him after watching his brother player. But the rest of the Burgess' don't seem half as talented. They don't even look like Sam.

Already had the call I heard.

Good look to the lad! But can't help but think the Burgess' (bar Sam) my hinder each others progress if they all end up at Souths. Wonder what next for Tom?

Can't see him doing much in the NRL when you consider the fact that he was struggling to get in a Leeds team who lets face it have been poor this season.

Tom apparently wants to make a name for himself over here rather than being lumped in with his brothers as has been the case for years now.

Tom & George have potential but aren't as skilful as their brother who is something special. I can see the twins turning out more like Luke than Sam, not bad players but not top quality.

He was actually doing pretty well this season until being dropped by Barry for no apparent reason

Tom has tremendous potential for an 18 year old. Different style of player to Sam but he could be just as good if looked after properly.

Haven't seen George play. Luke is a first grade player who will benefit hugely from a move to the NRL. It will bring that extra bit out of him. Was Ellis considered the best when he went, or Mark Flanagan? It's the environment that makes all the difference.

Luke has been in great form this season, one of Leeds' best props in fact.

Hetherington offered him a new deal and gave him a 3 day deadline to sign it. Luke asked for more time, so Hetherington pulled the deal off the table and he hasn't played for Leeds since (Ian Kirke is one lucky sod).

If Ben Cross managed 95 NRL appearances and 2 State of Origin games then I think Luke Burgess (or any other decent English prop for that matter) should be OK
