How good is it see a forward like him in the Cherry and White?

Loved his running battle with Mossop tonight.

Not seen a Wigan Prop go after his opposite number like that since maybe Flower pre GF send off.

He plays like the young Props we have on the books who have done a cracking job at times with that natural aggression but he has the miles on the clock to be able to back it up which I’m sure they will develop especially playing alongside him.

Genuinely think he could be a massive signing for us over the course of the next 5-6 years.

He looks like the best partner to Bullock. If he gets a good pre season he could be a great asset. He looks like he’s still got more to give.

Hope he plays against stains next week rough a few of their forwards up.

You backed the signing to the hilt and on the evidence of his first two games you look absolutely spot on. He has been superb and the way he’s played has been really refreshing. He looks like a guy who has been at a big club, has then moved to a lesser club and has realised how much he wants to play for a team challenging for trophies. He looks determined not to let the opportunity pass him by. The biggest plus point so far has been what a leader he looks like. The group already seem to have built up a massive respect for him.

Been very impressed so far, will only improve once his Match fitness increases too. Looks a big upgrade on the 2020 versions of Flower and Clubb.

Why do supporters have to keep comparing the present day props with Clubb and Flower who have been two great signings for us and do not deserve some of the comments being said about them.

No doubt, in a few seasons time the same will be said about Bullock, Burgess, Havard, Partington, Singleton etc when they too have played for the same length of time and replaced by new props.

Players come and go without comparisons being made all the time.

Because they’re still here and in the most part have been a waste of a wage, for at least 2020.

Singleton has shown more in the 2 games he has played than George burgess has done all year. Infact, he has probably done more minutes in the 2 games he has played than Burgess has done this season.

I'm not actually sure what the point of this post was?

GB obviously has a serious & potential career ending injury. It's not like he's playing 60+ mins and is off form.

I've been hugely impressed by Singleton and at the same time I'm gutted the GB signing hasn't worked out.

You can't however fairly compare the two

Because he has been signed to replace them. Notice in my post I wrote 2020 versions.

Flower and Clubb have been warriors for this club and great signings, but nothing lasts forever and we’ve upgraded.

I thought this was an Rugby league forum for discussion about Rugby league.

Really getting tired of the anti-George Burgess bandwagon on this forum.

We all now know that GB arrived here with a longstanding injury. He recently stood down to try and get it fixed.

We're all disappointed, but constantly having a pop at the guy is childish and pointless. It may also be damaging if he ever reads these boards and wonders what kind of fans won't give a player a chance to overcome an injury.

I agree. I’ve said on many occasions I feel sorry for him, he’s carrying a debilitating injury and it’s no fault of his own we offered so much. In a short career what was he going to choose? Exactly what anyone would.

I genuinely wish him well, I hope he comes good for us and overcomes his injury. That being said if he can’t or it’s unlikely, then for the good of himself and his future health he should retire.

Totally agree.

TBF, some of the criticism is more directed at the club, ie, we shouldn't have signed him in the first place.

It is, providing you don't say things that conflict with the personal opinions of others!

But, will it last, bearing in mind that he was cast off by Leeds and was signed by Toronto who did not have a squad strong enough for the Super League.

I will reserve judgement until he has played in a number of games and been as consistent as Clubb and Flower when they were first signed and also showing the consistent form of Alex Walmsley.

The same was being said when Bullock was signed and played in his first couple of games, but has not played on a regular basis until recently when he has got into the team ahead of injury hit Burgess.
