Its the daily mail!

Centre might appeal to him as he'd get a few extra years playing there. Just a shame he won't win a nrl title with Souths.

if you watch him playing league though, he's a player who wants to get involved in the game all the time - would he be satisfied at having to bide his time in the centres as the forwards battle for long periods. he'll certainly bolster the defence out wide but the temptation to come into the middle to make a tackle could open up gaps wider out. i guess it comes down to good coaching

aussie papers believe its a done deal rltelegraph storyrl

Reports I have heard is that he will be with Souths for the 2014 season before any possible move to Union. So if true still a chance?

Sorry Freddie you're right in theory, but Souths won't win the nrl this year.

Still struggling to think where he'll play. eight? probably, but unless he already possesses a good understanding of union it could be risky. any other pack position is too specalised and he's probably too small.

outside centre? wasted.

Stick with league Sam.

That's the biggest load of I've ever read.

The character assaination is in full swing.

The press love building people up, just to tear them back down again. While it was only a brief mention, if the press continue to bring their Mum in to it, I can't see any of them sticking around.

He'll do well at union not least because the skill levels are so low that anyone with serious talent will be lauded. Hopefully he wont get bored during the endless stoppages and set pieces that characterise that rich and expertly marketed sport.

It would be quite simple I imagine. Each club would be allowed to nominate any player as a marquee player, regardless of their background or experience. That players salary would not count on the cap.

That's a very disrespectful article, love the fact they try to blame his mum for their play off elimination! Stupid Aussies.

Here is what one leading Union pundit here has to say about Sam Burgess.

" I will make a fearless prediction here. If Sam Burgess does play rugby, he will be a journeyman player,at best. In rugby terms he is an extremely limited player. He can't pass and his tackling is thuggishly illegal most of the time. He can barge forward with some effectiveness from time to time but has no ball skills."
