[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

He should just go.
I have no problem if a player wants to do something different but I am not fussed on opportunists that signs contracts and get plenty of personal and family perks and an upgraded contract and then decide he can do better and wants out.
Burgess is a great player, I have never liked him or the way he plays and the questionable stuff he does on field, apparently neither does his Coach at Souths.
It will be interesting how Souths deal with some of his Brothers once the drawcard wants out.

| Quote: Kiwi Shane "The problem with Sam (and the rest of the so called 'Burgi') is that they have been hyped to the max ever since they have gone to Australia and yet they havent really turned out to be these supreme world beating athletes that Russell crowe and the rest of 'Souffs' made them out to be.
Sam... decent enough player on his day... has missed far too many games through suspension and injury. Not even the best forward at Souths let alone the NRL. Touted as the darling of channel 9 although his popularity is waning as a large proportion of footy fans now see him as a 'grub' because of his antics on the field. Just been dumped by his girlfriend as well so might fancy a fresh start back home.
George. like Sam a decent enough player but is also known for his embarrassing off the field incidents (smashing a car window in Cairns and taking naked selfies) although most people admit he is just as good a player as Sam (some would say better - much to the chagrin of poor Sammy boy - despite the fact it was his late high shot on SBW that cost his side a place in the final against us ![]()
He would be foolish to leave. He will get slaughtered playing RU.
However it looks like the bubble has finally burst for him at the Rabbitohs and his position has become untenable.

Ps lol at all this hand wringing. If the NRL wanted it could pay way above anything the rfu could offer but they are not that stupid or desperate. They know they have a production line that will replace burgess easily, unlike the rfu who know without RL imports they don't have a cat in bells chance at the RUWC. Sad to see union in such a poor state, not!

Nonsense, if we can replace Burgess easily why haven't England got a pack full of players like him? Why is he the best forward at Souths and one of the best in the league?
Why do we, RL fans, have to pretend that losing these players doesn't effect us? |

Because it doesn't (in the NRL at least) sailor, tuiqiri, hunt, folau, etc etc all top stars who left for another code. Effect? NRL bigger, better and richer than it has ever been.
Sam burgess has plenty of talent and off the field is good for RL and souths and will be a great shame to see him waste that in the kick and clap game but if you think it will register any more than a blip on south Sydney's business or the nrl's popularity you are kidding yourself.

That's not what you said though. We can't replace these players easily, when they come back well into the end of their careers they were still top players.
Which player got most column intches last season? |

That's exactly what I said. Sam burgess leaving the NRL, if he does, will not have any effect on South Sydney or the NRL, both are far far bigger than any one player can ever effect.
Those column inches will still be there this year, just being written about someone else. |

| Are you reading what you're typing?
So when you said that Burgess could be easily replaced you didn't mean in playing ability, You meant commercially?
Quote: JB Down Under "Alongside inglis he is their marquee player, the person who sells memberships and makes the money. Yes of course they'd let him just go for a couple of years in the hope he'd come back two years older and a lot less fitter and skilled, lol.'"
So is it a worry or not?
Don't you think SBW had a massive effect on Roosters and the NRL this season? |

Apparently Salford have said at an open day today that they have asked the RFL if they can go after Burgess.
