Hearing wakefield have snapped another new prop from under the noses of cas,which will see the big lad returning to his native west yorkshire.

May be wrong just what i hear

George Burgess? We'll certainly be keeping our medical staff busy if true.

Doubt if Cas would want another prop now. Signed the Greek lad and Massey, Lawler, and Matagi back for next game. All props.

We have

Fifita
Bowden
Atoni
Battye
Proctor
Salabio
Shaw

Why would we need Burgess?

I get what you’re saying PT but is Proctor a prop- able to give the full minutes required in that position and both Shaw and Salabio are for the future - now to make the numbers up. I’d snap Burgess up if true - we’re desperate!

Burgess on a short term deal for rest of season allowing us to take a close look at him is a no lose for me.

If he comes in and does a job, great, if not he will have cost us a few quid, but nothing more.

Well worth the risk if true.

Should stay well clear.

And Whitbread & Eseh.

Burgess has only been back playing amateur level for a couple of months after retiring because he couldn’t cut it anymore. He isn’t going to be anywhere near top level match fit and we don’t have time ‘to take a look at him’ in our position. If we are still spending money i’d rather try and find a decent three-quarter with it.

Yeah I forgot those two! Forget my last post haha!

Why did you make him an offer then?

Wow. I can't believe I missed them off.

He does the minutes of a prop. He may look knackered but he puts it in.
But even so, as pointed out, I missed some big players.

Where would Burgess fit in this list right now

Fifita
Atoni
Whitbread
Bowden
Battye
Eseh
Proctor
Salabio
Shaw

And even Tanginoa

Battye to play 13.

Fifita, Whitbread must play.

Tanginoa is likely season done or at best last1/2 games. But he’s second row.

Other two spots are the rest - Proctor or Bowden could play 13.

I’m mmmm not sure where Burgess may fit tbh. If we get a fit version then could be good. This is a signing that will either be amazing or a car crash. We will have to see if it’s true first.

That leaves two spots for the rest.

We’ve 8 games to secure our future , do we really need an unproven wildcards at this time ? . Yes a Munster or a Kikau or even a Koroisau who are far far better than players we have in their respective positions, but another prop . Yes we got mullered at Hudds ,but surely prop is a position if all fit and raring to go we don’t need yet another trying to resurrect their career at our expense

All true ketty struggling to see this,thought with a new bod we woud be moving away from the signing & extending of old players.Can we risk anymore injuries this ate on.
