| Quote jonh="jonh"Having watched him at Wigan and having just watched the Cairns Brothers game on YouTube there are some very noticeable differences.
He is clearly carrying a bit more timber however to say he is “fat” is a bit of a stretch, he is a massive bloke, unless you have seen him up close I don’t think you appreciate how big he is and as these body types get older they tend to carry a bit more fat.
His mobility is significantly improved. His lateral movement is different level to what is was prior to his hip replacement. He shows no signs of struggling to slide in defence.
2 more noticeable things are when he hits lads in defence, they stay hit, and when he carries he attracts 3 or 4 defenders makes good post contact meters and finds his front.
I’m not saying he isn’t a risk, but he is a very low risk if our new owner is happy to pay for him to come in for the rest of the season. I think signing him longer than that initially would be unwise until we could assess him and see how his fitness holds up before thinking about a longer term deal.
The cynic that I am with a marketing head on says recruiting a Burgess even short term would attract media attention and boost our online profile and social media engagement all assisting with the IMG criteria for a place in SL.'"
I completely agree about the size comment. He's just gigantic.
In my opinion, If he can get fit and play injury and pain free - if he's operating at 30% of the player he used to be - He's still very high up on our list of props.

| Just because I disagree with you makes me a Cas fan? Unlike yourself I don’t switch between two different clubs week in week out.

Like I said already covered that one off.
He literally had no lateral movement at Wigan.
He has basically had a new hip post operation.

| He had a hip resurfacing op, which a lot of athletes like Andy Murray etc have had done. I personally think he’s worth a shout, he’s only 31. If a busted 34 year old Fifita who has been playing bush rugby the last 6 month can come in and dominate on the field racking up +120 metre games I’m sure George would do well.

| I think that on balance, if the owners are willing to fund it, then it’s probably a low risk exercise. A bit hard to tell if it will be good value for money though - he’s only played a few games. You can’t doubt his pedigree and experience though and with that big game experience could provide leadership levels currently only coming from Dave.

Calling someone a Cas fan on here is about the biggest insult you can say. Poor form Jonh.
Wilzay has a right to his opinion.

Quite correct. Silly thing to say after 1 too many Guinness.
I apologise and retract.
