Sams a touch bigger, little bit chunkier, theres not much in it though. They're pretty much the same size

Sam is taller and probably bigger overall after being in the NRL with the weights work he will have been put through.

I'm not sure that they've even watched him. Leaden footed and not nearly aggressive enough. He's about as good as Mark Edmonson was and he'll play a similar amount of games. On the other hand, the Burgess that is still at Bradford had a great game against Les Catalans and looks more Sam than Luke.

I think the twins are the biggest overall - look at the bloody size of George here!

Luke would appear to be the smallest, only an inch or two in height and giving away a bit weight by the look of things. I'm sure the NRL beefcake machine will soon bulk him up. Aussies do tend to be bigger.

He was very good for us this year Matt. He seemed to have got rid of the grounded foot work in defence and didnt make anywhere near as many errors with ball in hand as previous years. Also, he is at a comparable stage of his career (dispite being older) to Sam when he moved over. I did a stats comparison just before Luke got injured on the NRL board of him this year and Sam the year before he went. There was nothing in the 2 apart from line breaks. Ill try and find it.

He's a mile better than Edmonson was, and that's from a Saints supporter.
I think he's got flaws in his game, but I've seen him show real strength in games at knowsley road - once to score the winner, the other was when he really took it to us in a bad tempered match.

I wouldn't guarentee his success, but I think he has potential.

I’ve heard it all now – not only can the NRL make players better, they can also make them physically bigger too! English people have actually heard of strength training and conditioning you know

Quote: Saddened! "Do you not think the 'Burgess' surname will be a noose around his neck? It's a lot of pressure.'"

It could be a mill stone, i suppose, but Luke has the physical attributes and, assuming George starts to progress, surely that pressure would fuel your determination to succeed?

Week 2 Stats:

Minutes - 36 (1 spell)
Hit ups - 12
Metres - 97 (8.1m/carry)
Offloads - 2
Tackles - 13
Missed - 2

Looked much more settled today and started looking for the offloads, which he didnt even attempt last week. Took the ball up hard and only got smashed once. Got a fair few mentions off the comm team too about his involvement and the quality of it. Channel 9 do love a Burgess though icon_lol.gif

Luke was strong yesterday and he seemed to lift the Rabbitohs when he came on, ironically as soon as he went off Manly scored three tries in about five minutes.

He's started his Nrl career quite well, he'll play plenty of games next year.

Asotasi, Ross, Geddes, Burgess and one more signing will be the props next year.

George may be ready by then also.

You could have 3 English brothers playing in the same Souths side. Though it'll be down to Maguire next year.He did seem positive in a recent BBC article about them. 3 props or 2 and 1 backrower,

It would be a strange move to put Sam back in the front row, but Souths do have alot of back rowers in the squad.

Crocker, Pettybourne, Taylor, Lowe, Tyrrell, Clark, Peats, McQueen and Hopefully Sutton all in for 4 or 5 positions.
