Location..... its professional sport not under 9s

Also he's moving 2 hours down the m62 not to south Sudan !

That may well be but the facts are the sport is still quite parochial and a number of Lancashire based players (professional or not) seem to have difficulty committing to come this far East whether we like it or not.

No idea what he has done but when you consider how desperate Salford are currently it must be something pretty significant.

He had the audacity to ask for his wages.

Probably trying to engineer a move, maybe refusing to train.

I'd bet he already has a club lined up.

Posted on the Wigan Board about Burgess’s indiscretion

Went to Ben Austin's wedding with Gildart/Williams etc when he should have been training and then said the weather was too bad to drive back.

Salford may be more than pleased to get him off the payroll. Sio gone as well.

Makes you wonder.

Absolutely nothing to do with us needing a SR.... but did Kallum Watkins attend the wedding and miss training?

Possibly, though reading the article by Matt Shaw in HDM today it seems they may already be at cap limit with them looking at the dispensation route with RU. Burgess wouldn't qualify under the marquee rule either.

Seems an odd move by Salford though considering they've just lost Sio and now have effectively sacked their other starting winger.

Seems a bit harsh, more like Salford trying to cut costs I reckon.

Think there is a few people been extremely harsh to McIntosh. He’s the popular scapegoat at the minute.

Ended the season in pretty decent form. Not many wingers would’ve kept the ball in for Trueman try against st helens and he also had the wheels to finish off the with Ritson chasing him down (much easier to run without the ball)

He’s also got a class passing range which is rare for a winger.

A lot of issues with burgess’ game that people are seeming to ignore. He’s had a few indiscretions at salford by all accounts. He’s also an error machine and not far off the big 30.

Worth a risk but not the same signing he would’ve been once upon a time

Burgess is better than mcintosh and any of our wingers 100 %

Burgess has genuine pace great finisher experienced

Why wouldn't you wanna sign someone who's better than what we've got bizarre

Fans only care about what happens on the pitch

I didn't hear one person say about likes of Jordan Lane and say oh but he's a good boy .....it doesn't happen!

Players like Ben Barba, Albert Kelly, Michael jennings, sam burgess, Gareth hock, Israel folau off top of my head had off field problems but are great players and always walk in most clubs

Likes of burgess, jennings were world class
