Quote RoyalWire="RoyalWire"I may be wrong here but as he has not played senior rugby in the UK before would he not be an exemption in respect of the cap.'"
The only way he would be an exemption is if George Burgess had never played RL before. As he has, he could not be an exemption in cap terms.
In fact, if he had never played a professional game in the UK, there could be an argument that says he would count on the overseas quota, as well as the salary cap.
We can’t fit another marquee player in, unless the rules change, the question is, if they did change, would George Burgess be a good use of that third spot?
