Sam Burgess had pretty much the complete game against NZ. Anyone who can't see that is simply a moron.

My thoughts entirely.

According to the original poster, Stuart Lancaster, Andy Farrell and Mike Ford are wasting their time.

Stop feeding the troll

Even the most blinkered Aussie on the planet wouldn't seriously think old Quasimodo was better than Sonny Bill.


I'm no fan of the Burgess media circus or indeed Souths as a club but I think the side will be better off without him

Anyone see him try and gouge Aaron Woods during the little push and shove session? I hope for his sake he stops his grubby ways when he plays the 15 man code or he will get seriously hurt.

you mean where he rubbed his hand is his face just trying to wind him up haha Gouge. He does need to real it in tho.

Thank you.

I reckon most in Souths will be happier when S Burgess leaves. To an extent he's an individual in a team sport, like Sonny Bill is, but as I said, what's Burgess' long spin passing to his right like? Can Burgess even spin pass to his right?

As soon as Sam Burgess started believing the hype that Russell Crowes people were putting out about him being this incredible unstoppable northern hemisphere warrior was the day he failed.

He would have done far better if he had led a similar life to Adrian Morley 10 years ago... just got out there, played the game and earned a reputation as a decent player not some whinging sooky mummys boy living with his mum and his brothers playing out their every move in front of TV cameras like some bizarre NRL version of the Osbournes.

In fairness, Sam Burgess is getting into the habit of getting distracted from his natural game by trying to be a 'hard man'. Players are winding him up, and he's spending more time trying to get even, rather than doing what he does best.
When he focuses on his job, he is the best forward in the world, but he's becoming too easy to distract - he's trying to live up to an 'enforcer' reputation, but he needs to realise he's an enforcer doing his natural game , not trying to win personal battles.

Also, his over the top 'protection' of his brothers is becoming a touch embarrassing. Everytime one of them gets hit hard, he's coming in with the handbag swinging. George looked embarrassed by him the other day - George is big and tough enough to look after himself - he doesn't need or i would presume want Sam fighting his battles for him.

Nothin wrong with being a mummy's boy. The media stuff he's bn doin doesn't bother me, what does is missing training last September due to a media commitment apparently, and the way he seems to think he's the most important plyr on the team, he's far frm that, Inglis, Reynolds and Luke are far more important.

You can't blame sam burgess for media commitments, souths should stop him from doing it if they have an issue, rusty is loving Souths new membership numbers and you could attribute some of that to Sam Burgess and his family.

Inglis maybe be more important but the rest not a chance especially not Reynolds i haven't seen a more over hyped player than him. At the same time you could say Inglis massive salary is effecting the team from signing better back line players.
