I doubt (i) Souths would let him go and (ii) he'll want to leave Aus.

The only talking we should be doing with Currie is telling him he's no longer required after this season.

There's always rumours ... But there seems to be a new one about George Burgess possibly coming to Warrington.... I seriously hope that's a nonsense one and he's only visiting to do his shopping as he makes Clark come across as 100% injury free in comparison

Halliwell Jones hurriedly removing P Sculthorpe from the side of that old 5 series and chalking*on G Burgess.
*Even they don’t think it will last

I hope the G Burgess rumour is utter cobblers as I thought these kind of signings (thankfully) were a thing of the past now.

George obviously had a word with Greg Inglis about the fabulous pension package

Yes, the Greg Inglis debacle surely should have taught us that.

What’s confusing about this Burgess rumour is the message coming out from the club was about how they going to take their time to find the right player. Just hope it is what it says it is a RUMOUR.

I’m happy to give George Burgess a crack, been out the game 4 months is it?
Plus we’re not likely to get a prop elsewhere that’s decent. May as well take a calculated risk with the shortfall in the cap until the end of 23, see how he goes. It’s not as if we have anything to lose by it.
Can’t be any worse than Mikaele in 22, and look how he went after injury fitness woes and finding his mojo.

Didn't play for Wigan due to injury.. then retired with the same injury having played only 8 games for St George....this one needs a swerve ... He will want a payday based upon past reputation and will be out for the season after 10 innocuous mins

Pay his airfare then “pay as you play” deal. Obviously on a “per minute” basis.

He’s out of shape at the moment, he’s put a few pounds on. Comparing him to Tom he is significantly heavier. It will take a while to get him physically fit and then he needs match fitness. I hope the lad can make a comeback but it is by no means certain and he will not come cheap.

Well he would come cheap obviously because no-one is going to give him a healthy contract - but definitely not worth the risk for me - he's a pudding.

just the optics of this, its not doing well with us as a rumour, it should be avoided

It has to be just a rumour, surely??? A player who retired due to injury?? This is a wind up.....
