Well he certainly didn't want to know towards the end. Both Maurie and KC ran straight through him in consecutive tackles.

He is good at being offside and clattering a young kid though.

I thought he was lazy. Went for a big hit then went missing for 10 mins. Missed plenty of tackles too.

Paul Clough put a nice little sidestep on him in the first half, that was about the only time I noticed him.

Thought he was man of the match at our place.

if the press (and more so eddie&stevo) stop making him out to be a superstar and let him get on with learning&improving his game then he will become a fantastic player for bratfud(or someone or else?) and england for many years to come

I think his next move will be to the NRL, and who would blame him?

Wests want him for next season so you could be onto something there

is he out of contract? I think the Bulls would have to release him, and is unlikely if they want any success next year.

They said they will pay "whatever it takes" to get English players on the recomendation of Ellis to improve the team, he said Burgess, Peacock, Graham & Sinfield.

Burgess and Graham (because of their age) would cost about £400k minimum, Sinfield and Peacock about £250k under contract, even with sinfield being rubbish.

could well be ready for that in a few years time? if he did move to aus that would harm his england career as the aussies wont release him to fly half way round the world to play meaningless friendlies

Another reason to go.
Also Manly (as an example) beach or Bradford public swimming baths? I'd bloody go for nothing!

Probably, but they have a very rich owner and players to throw in too, and if you saw the Melbourne game you can see why they need props and a loose forward because what they have at the minute is dire, so money spent in that department is money well spent.

I can see burgess and Graham going, if they went now, they'd be back by the time they were 25-27. Then again a ginge in the oz climate is not a good plan!

Brilliant

Don't listen to Cas fans when they talk transfer rumours. They talk nonsense.

Past your bed time?

Burgess will be in the NRL within 2 years.

I don't think being at the Bulls though these last few years of turmoil has helped Burgess' development. If anything it's drifted into regression.

At the right club (Saints/Leeds/NRL) I think you'd see him explode.

I couldn't see him going to anyone but Leeds if he stayed in this country.

There are still a number of questions about Burgess that have yet to be answered.

What is his natural position? What impact has his shoulder injury had on him? Has he been forced to change his tackling technique? Is he even fit?

Past my bed time, lol. That hillarious.

You Cas lot are used to kidding yourselves, and again we see that on show with the silly statement above.

'If' Burgess goes to the NRL, it will be at the end of his current Bulls contract and for the start of the NRL 2012 season.

As for his best position, I think it's second row, but because we are short on a prop then he's being asked to play there, and rotate whenever there is an injury in the pack. I think next season we will see him more settled into 1 position, because at the moment I think his development is being stifled by moving around to much.

I would be extremely disappointed if we let him go for anything less than 500k. As for "seeing him explode" in a "better team", we already see him explode at Bradford on several occasions and he's already expressed his desire to see out his current contract and help the Bulls get back to success.

Big Sam is going nowhere until he's finished his current Bulls contract. Even after then they only place I can see him going is Australia. I don't think he will play for another Super League team unless the Bulls sell him or he goes to Australia and returns later in his career.

and i'd be sat on the seat next to you on the plane

Kicked your sorry s all around the Old Trafford pitch for the past 2 years though hasn't he.
