Sad - was never fit, which makes me wonder about the decision to sign him, especially as a marquee signing.

Really sad how it turned out - George at his best would have steamrollered SL. Hope the surgery goes well and he can get back to good health.

It’s one with real mixed feelings. A relief to have that cloud lifted from over the squad but sad for the guy. He’s clearly in a very bad way. I’m sure the club will now have a bit more cap space to play with but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve had to pay Burgess a substantial figure to ‘mutually’ part ways and I guess that could then impact on the amount of room it frees up.

It sounds like he plans to play again in 2022. I really hope things work out for him.

A real shame how this has worked out. I hope he gets the support he needs to get his hip fixed, even if this is the end of the road for his playing career. Fair play to him for playing ball with the club to come to an agreement too, I wouldn't have blamed him for seeing his contract out.

Pretty much sums up how I'm feeling about this.

Absolutely gutted that this didn't work out. Seems like forever since we've seen a world class prop at the club (Fax maybe) and GB was exactly that. I was dying to see him ripping it up in the same way Tom did.

There is relief however, that we've drawn a line under it. I spoke on another thread about this year being all about the 'here and now'. If we can get the right prop in, then it's the last piece of the jigsaw for 2021.

Really do wish GB all the best. I hope he comes back from this and gets onto the field again.

It is sad to see a player in the physical state he’s in and genuinely gutted it never worked out here for him and us. I wish him all the best in his recovery and sincerely hope he can get it sorted.

Certainly opens up some money for a prop - Luke Thompson anyone?* icon_lol.gif

As you say, fair play to him. He could indeed have seen his contract out but I don’t think that would have gone down too well with the fans which he realised.

There's no way he will have left without financial support from the club.

It’s probably the best thing for both parties. I just hope he doesn’t come back to SL and rip it up for another club once recovered and gets a NRL gig instead.

Coming out of retirement after injury, he's nailed on at Wire isn't he?

You are nieve if you think he has not taken the majority of his contract money with him
