Leeds have made Luke Burgess available for loan with immediate effect.

Do we need another forward?
Could we afford it?
Would he even come to us?

I reckon we could do a hell of a lot worse, and need to bulk out the pack. A very good player and it seems that quite a few Rhinos fans are disappointed at the news. I just don't think we'd be top of his list!

Its a win win for all concerned we need a prop short term luke needs game time
We would be fools to let this chance slip

If he's not heading down under until the end of the season then I can't see why he wouldn't consider us. I'd certainly have him here in an instant.

With Huby and Walker set to be out for a while yet, then yes, I'd like to see him pull on a Cas shirt until the end of the season.

it works for all concerned i think we need a prop, leeds arent going to play him and he gets a club and doesnt have far to travel.

Get him here now!

Is this the same Luke Burgess who posted about kids throwing stones and smashing the team bus window on Twitter? Hmmm.....

Absolutely.

Losing Huby and Walker means we're crying out for a prop - I'd have some serious reservations about our ambitions if we didn't capitalise on this opportunity.

Funny really, Rhinos recently announced about 9 players out of contract at the end of this season - Burgess and Kirke were the two I'd have liked to have seen us pursue.

I was just about to come on here and post the same thing. I would definitely take him until the end of the season, we need fit players at the moment

Even if he is going to Australia at the end of the season, it's mad for Leeds to let him go short-term to strengthen another top-8 club. Unless they do it as leverage for a future deal for Chase. If he goes to Cas, I'd imagine that's why it would be.

Dream on

I'm afraid he has already signed for wire, wigan, hull fc and 5 nrl clubs so your out of luck.

Hetherington will try to off load their rubbish to us in exchange for Rangi...I hope the board tells him where to go

Not needed or wanted at wigan..... Hock is back

Think they were on about Rangi lol at that point

Don't shoot the messenger but someone on the Hull FC Rumours thread states they've had a text cinfirming Chase to Leeds next year in exchange for Burrow and JJB.

Probably rubbish I know, but just passing on a comment I read over there this morning

Well many fans went on to rave about Mitchel Sergent, even after he was done for drink driving on the same streets that our kids walk........so I guess we can let Burgess off for his moment of anxiety and a bit of tweeting!

JJB -would certainly strengthen our pack (add another couple of players of this calibre and it would soften the blow).

Burrow - I'd be mortified.

Not interested in Burrow or JJB. Leeds can keep them both.

Agreed, especially on JJB - never liked or rated him tbh.

FFS, stop the Chase rumours. People will believe anything.

Would be good signing. I am disappointed to see him go. But I think we would be mad to strengthen your team when there is a very good chance we will be fighting it out for 6th place. Touch wood!

It says in the guardian that Burgess would be available for the CC, QF. Is that true? If so, get him signed up! www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/ju ... -liverpool
