I did mention it a few days ago, Warrington possible trying to get Hill off the books this year to Leigh, it’s no coincidence his testimonial is against Leigh. Wigan have managed to get Burgess off the books to free up a large chunk of cap space so I’d guess it’s now a straight shoot out between the 2 clubs. If Wigan only announce him on a 1 year deal then I’d assume you have your man for 2022.

I get the feeling that the Op Burgess is having would help him to lead a normal active life, and not to necessarily get back to playing a sport like RL. Should he be able to take up the sport once more, then whoever offers Burgess a contract would be taking a massive leap of faith.

Thompson signing a contract with Wigan for just a year, so that he can then move to Warrington, sounds extremely unlikely.

I wouldn't include Burgess in the same breath as Hill.
Our boys ,Hill ,Cooper & Westwood were better than any of the Burgess brothers in England shirts.

You cannot argue with that statement.

I agree mate but you would think his contract would be structured on his fitness and as long as you or any club don`t use the same Medic who Wigan used then he could still be a good signing.
Much depends how he recovers but could also see Leeds in for him as he has said he would like to play at the Rhinos.

Who cares about doing it in England shirts though?

Sam will go down as one of the best forwards to play in the NRL ever and was arguably the best prop in the world in 2014.

Agreed, Sam Burgess was the best English player for some time. Our lads did well but at his peak he walks in to our first team and is immediately made club captain. He would have been another Morley type signing for us.

We seem to have gone off continent let alone off piste...

The Burgess in question is George not Sam as far as i understand it.

The Burgess in question is actually Chris Hill, if anyone wants to stick to a topic.....

I agree to an extent but the Burgess in question in the context of this thread and as a comparative to Hill was any of them in an England shirt

The original Burgess i picked up on was George who somebody suggested could be a replacement if Chilly goes to Leigh.

What topic? Hill isn't going Leigh so there is no topic.

If that was the way forums worked this place would be emptier than Empty McEmpties empty pockets
