For me its all about the occasion and union certainly does that and I can only imagine how a player feels out in the middle of a packed partisan Twickenham.

However, if that passion of the crowd turns into a concerted dislike of a player it must be a lonely place.

I think he will be back in League. Unless some agent somewhere stands to lose a packet on him.

Is Chris Caisley, Walker Morris Solicitors, Leeds (ex Bradford Bulls Chairman) still his agent?

Yesterday's man in their game. Probably the same in ours. A pity but no-one died.

As long as Burgess accepts that every time the team he plays for loses he will be the scap goat he will be fine.
He just have to look at his bank account to console himself

Maybe the onion fans will find someone else to blame now. Where was Stefon Armitage England international and best RU player in Europe last season.Last night. Was he at home no, was he at the Etihad watching England Vs Uruguay No. He was at Old Trafford watching Wigan Vs Leeds with his brother Delon With Michael Carrick and Joey Barton. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/34497749 scroll down to the media bit.

Tom Wood, Tom Croft and Callum Clark would be ahead of him at the moment. If England bring in either Armitage or Matt Kvesic at 7, they could even move Robshaw to 6 which IMO better fits his skill set.

It will take Burgess at least 12 months before he's a competent blindside flanker, let alone one of the best in England.

Sam Burgess is a massively talented rugby player. He isn't and shouldn't want to be one of the "specialists" required by the game of Union whose required "skills" bear no relation to those of a rugby player. (If you don't know what I mean: fat boy scrum pusher, beanpole fly catcher, fall on ball go nowhere etc).

The attributes which make Burgess a great RL forward are simply not as valuable in RU. In Rl he can make 30+ tackles plus any number of hitups. He has a great engine as well as power. In RU he'll be running into bigger forwards from a much shorter run-up, which will negate his impact with the ball, and he simply won't need to make as many tackles.

He won't be hob-nobbing with anybody unless he gets back into the England team and is a star player. He's going to lose the coaching staff who have been seen to be biased in his favour in selecting him for this world cup. I just can't see him waltzing back into the England team for a long time.

He could well go back to the NRL in 2016 according to the breaking news from 9NEWS two hours ago.... wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=9045080

Just hope Caddick/Hetherington do the right thing. Sell a role with Rhinos to Sam - get him the right house etc, sort out travel for his girlfriend etc and, if they get a move on, they could just pull this off. The boost it would give would cover the finances of it, even with the release fee Bath would want. Could even see SKY part funding it to keep their Super League viewing figures well ahead of BT's RU - as they did previously with Sam Tomkins didn't they?

Strong rumours going about that he's signed for Leeds.
