Gareth Ellis, Mark Flanagan and Sam Burgess.. "Wigan stand-off Mark Flanagan is heading to Wests Tigers, who are also set to sign England forward Sam Burgess from Bradford for 2010." www.express.co.uk/posts/view/121 ... s-deported Think that is great imo. What does everyone else think?

Erm good for Flanagan, still young not had much opportunity at Wigan. If it's with the view to return to SL after a year or two stint then great.

Burgess, i'm not sure. Cracking player, could do with the world of good, but i'd fear we'd loose him forever if he made it over there.

Would like to see all three of them return to the SL within the next few years, obviously granted that Flanagan and Burgess actually go.

Flanagan is going to be a good one, couple years in Australia will do him great, he's going because his gf (an Aussie) is moving home, and wants to be with her. Hopefully he'll return to Wigan a better player.

good to see.

ellis has done very well.

the tigers in the 80s had a very good batch of english imports and im happy burgess is coming over whilst still young

he will return a much better player

Myler and Atkins to Wire too in that story.

And Millard going to Wakefield instead of Bradford like everyone thought he would.

Article missing now.........strange

no it's not.

With my Wigan hat on i'd have loved to have the option of keeping Flanagan but with my England hat on it's a great move for a very talented young player.

I'll look forward to seeing how he goes over there and hope we get first option on him coming back here.

West Tigerrs will get alot of English support from now on i'd imagine.

Cool..

Unlikely with Burgess though. Unless a club have offered Bradford over the £500,000+ price tag on his head or suitable players in exchange (which is also unlikely) then he won't be going anyway until the 2011 season.

wonder how long it will be before league freak is on sayin they are all rubbish and need to be shot with !!!

Very good moves, Bound to be a bit of a fight for Flanagan to get in the team. Cant wait to see Burgess and Ellis playing together. The NRL will fear the English forwards.

Oh god.

The NRL really should avoid signing Poms.

It's funny when they fail, but I would still like to see the poms staying in Superleague where they belong

Just you wait until Burgess eats the convicts alive!

yeah morley, carney and ellis have all done rubbish in the nrl havent they.
