| Tom also played well again today, he scored a try and was a handful for the opposition. He should be playing NRL very soon.

NSW Cup. Played for Norths today.

| James Tamou a current Australian prop rates George as one of the NRL's best players, the guy is phenomenal and should walk into the England team, however McBanana will have Morley in his place.

| George Burgess is probably now rated as one of the top 5 props in the NRL. 5 tries in 12 games for a prop forward speaks for itself.
I can't wait for Luke Burgess to return from injury (which may happen in July), and for Tom Burgess to get promoted to the NRL team (which may happen this year). Imagine South Sydney having Luke Burgess (112 kg) and Roy Asotasi (108 kg) as starting props, and then having George and Tom Burgess (each 120 kgs) come on after 15-20 minutes. With brother Sam(116 kg) playing in the back row, South Sydney's pack will be unstoppable.
The same might be said for England's pack in the World Cup, if McNamara had the courage to pick all 4 Burgess brothers.

On the weight theme add to that John Sutton 102 kg at stand off and Greg Inglis 106 kg playing fullback, both players built like forwards with the agility of backs, if Souths can keep that team together they will be serious contenders for the championship over the next few seasons.

| Burgess had a great game last night. He was poor last Monday against the Sharks (although so where most of the Bunnies) and he reacted perfectly last night. An absolute must for England.

Id struggle to use both those players names in the same breath...crabtree has never kicked on for me. He's a good Superlague player but he's never been as devastating as his size suggests he could be, and for that reason, you could pick all three burgess brothers infront of him for England.
I cant help but think England are going to have a strong pack in the world cup....assuming we dont get any injuries or fatnamara specials in the selection.

| Can a Bradford fan remind me whether it was George or Tom who was rated the higher of the two as a youth? Remember one was considered much better than the other but can't remember which.

If Tom was rated much higher than George he would be ridiculously good.

George was always considered to be the better. Iirc correctly reason we got the twins in first place from Leeds was that Leeds only offered gorge a new deal whereas we offered them both a deal.

I'm sure they weren't as big when they were born.

| eorl crabtree is the only prop in sl who looks in contention for an england place. hes done very well internationally before, its just he plays for england under mcnamara so hes been unfortunate. plus if were going to have two 18 year olds, a bit of experience isnt going to go amiss, especially as crabtree is so effective without being an idiot/penalty prone.

| People suggesting that Tom & to a lesser extent Luke should be in the England team are crazy!
Players like Mossop who are proven at SL level and have impressed enough to be signed by an NRL team should be dropped for someone who is doing well in reserve rugby?
Graham, Roby & Mossop would be my starting front row with Sam in the back row and George & Crabtree on the bench.
