Just got it on the main news text, leaves with immediate effect can't say I blame him.

I thought he was going to Leeds to join up with Darryl Clark. ...? ? ? ?

Does immediate effect mean we'll see him play the last game against NZ?

Leeds declaring their interest in signing Sam Burgess is like me declaring my interest in a romantic weekend with Rachel Riley.

Both are not happening anytime soon.

Simple math equation to get the right answer to both. Beer + time.

Never give up on your dream!

id love him to go straight in the england squad, if only for marketing purposes, but the lad needs a break for a while.

Good question stranger things have happened non more so than how the tide is now turning, BBC Radio Five's Alastair Eykyn saying Burgess is a great loss to the sport having all the tools to become a fantastic player in union, but now we will never know.

Burgess was never given a fair chance he had far to many detractors, Unions loss.

Newsflash from Headingley

Leeds pack next year will include
Lee Mossop, Darryl Clark, Sam Burgess and Joe Westerman.

Let's see your laughing when Clark joins us in 2017 that's why Beau Fallon has only signs a 1 year.

dont forget they had also made a bid for Mickey Mac (to play as interchange with Clark or instead of, I cant remember which..!!)
And Ryan Brierley was another member of the "nailed on" club.

if it was another clubs fans making these claims they be laughed out till boxing day.... but we have to sit back and say "Aye well you're treble winners you're right... why would players want to play for our crappy clubs... come take as many as you want"

stupid a gullible award of the year goes to......

yea, we all thought we were signing thurston and gallen at their prime... no we really did.

think you need to go and smell the fear with sgt wilko

anyway, apart from the leeds fans tears and feet stomping....

its a great day for rugby league.... im very happy sam burgess has come back to our sport.

i tweeted Brain Moore and told him Burgess was too good for union after he had a pop at him.. he RT me and ive been getting loads of abuse of union fans.... best day on the internet in ages for me.
