If there is ever a better example as to why we need to introduce this I've never seen it.

Think its pretty much a given that the Doc would in for him like a shot and make a real statement about the club and the sport as a whole.

| What a bitter pill to swallow it would be if Sam does indeed switch to union. It just shows you how much money must be knocking about in RU if they can go over to the NRL and cherry one pick one of the best players in the competition.
Odds on Salford signing him in 2017?

| Tremendous player.
They say he's being poached to play inside centre.
Just don't see that.
It hasn't worked at international level with Joel Tomkins and although Burgess is a better player,I think it's a stretch to see him in that position in RU.

| Burgess is an exceptional RL player but would make an average RU centre.Just dont think he has the required skill set for that position to be an international.

| It's really bad news to hear Sam Burgess may cross over. Absolutely proves how right Dr Koukash is regarding English RL being able to retain its stars ( I know he plays in Oz. )
Burgess for me would be a fantastic Number 8 in union.

| without doubt he will make a world class number 8. But he would just be average at best in the backs. His aggression would be a big boost to the england pack

| Just occurred to me that this is the only report of this I've seen, maybe a lot of hot air.
Though with the Doc announcing we have spent up to the cap but should there be a seed change by the RFL/SL we have one Marquee signing waiting in the wings.

| Crazy how Englands RUWC back line could consist of Chris Ashton, Owen Farrell, Kyle Eastmond, Joel Tomkins and Sam Burgess. Would we have beaten either New Zealand or Austrlia in last years RLWC with those names included in the team? (Obviously ignore Burgess).

Do you think any of those would have made the England team? Eastmond maybe, but would you put Ashton ahead of Charnley or Hall? Farrell ahead of Sinfield/Chase/Widdop? Nah.

It’s a tough one. No doubt Eastmond would have been in there, the others have question marks over. Owen Farrell had all the potential to be one of the best and I think had he stayed in the game he would have taken one of the half-back roles. Would Chris Ashton have got in ahead of Sam Tomkins? Not a chance at full-back. Tomkins would probably have been a shoe in for one of the centre positions.

| Just occured to me with Burgess being just about the best English/British player currently going you'd expect tge RFL to make a contribution to saving, the stumbling block being him being signed to an NRL who would obviously benefit most from him staying in RL.
More fuel to the fire of a Marquee exempt signing if you ask me.
