| Quote: OzWelsh "That's just for the clubs, international players get money on top, that's obviously where the money is (in international squads that is). Jonny Wilkinson and Martin Johnson are millionaires I assume, possibly multi-millionaires.
Anyway, Burgess would be a centre in 15's, and their ruck is a disaster zone, the training they do for it is stupid, have you seen them? They get down into basically a press-up position and lead with their shoulder to push a tackle bag out of the way, it's stupid. And in the actual game itself, you don't know what's going to happen from one match to the next, how the ref is going to ref it, and what he sees etc.'"
There's a few things that could tempt Burgess. World cup, olympic games, 6 nations. He could play in a number of positions as well, flanker, number 8, inside and outside centre. Everyone keeps mentioning his family, they didn't make him stay at Bradford.
Reading some of the South fans are writing about him he'll be closer to leaving than he was a week a go.

| Then again he could be tempted to stay in the biggest most challenging rugby (sic) competition in the world, living on the beach in the best city in the world, enjoying superstar status in that city and hob nobbing with Hollywood A listers.
Or he could play in the mud in winter in England in front of a few thousand fans in the bright lights of Leicester or bath at a game he is I'll equipped to play.

| He could indeed, but as much as I love Sydney (and I'm glad we both agree it's better than Perth) it ain't the best city in the world.

It ain't the best city in Australia either.

Yep. Spent over 2 years there along with frequent other visits which includes every major city in Australia on several occasions. Keep that Sydney flag of yours flying. When in Rome, etc. That's one thing all Aussies in every city of Australia have in common. They are all obsessed with their city (or their state) being considered the best there is. It's a very insecure country on so many levels.

It is if your a professional RL player!
If not Perth is a far better place to live.

Why is Perth better than "the best city in the world" to live?

| Sounds great! Looking forward to visiting Wellington, heard it's more like the South Island than Auckland.
