Quote: Rogues Gallery "Burgess scored 26 tries in 26 appearances in 2017 on his return from Australia
In 2018 he had score 8 tries in 9 games until that injury on the famous plastic pitch at Widnes.
Those are superb stats for any winger.'"
Important to remember this.
It's probably the right call to let him go because I expect he earns a fair whack and that (for now) he doesn't have the same freakish pace and power that he did prior to injuries. Even so, I think that we forget that 1) before going to the NRL Burgess made mistakes aplenty, it just so happens that they were offset by what he offered as a try scorer, and more importantly that 2) he still showed some wonderful form when he came back.
I think ever since he said that at some point he would like to chance his arm in Australia again, a narrative has built that his indifferent form is that he doesn't want to be here/has a poor attitude, and I think you're right that one injury too many is more likely to blame. If he goes to Salford I hope he gets back to his best.
