Jon Clarke on the pitch at Twickenham with England in the 6 Nations and Luther Burrell turning out weekly at the HJ...just wish I’d taken a bet on that one

Why has he given up on RL ? Could he not have asked to go out on loan, and see if any Super league clubs were interested. I never saw him play, so not sure if he would be an asset, but he's a big lad for a back.

Money, I'd imagine.

Which RL club is going to pay an unproven player the wages he could demand as a former international in RU?

You have to remember that Wire had a salary cap dispensation for Burrell. I don't think if he moved to another RL club that would apply, so, overall, he would be a huge financial gamble for any RL side.

I'm not sure what English RU side have a vacancy for him.
He may well head to France.

A few players seem to be heading to the USA at the moment. Might see him turn up there.
