nice to see it's 3 years. Gives them time to develop without the pressure of having to prove themselves to get a new contract and gives the club the stability of not having to hurriedly renegotiate if they do turn out as hoped.

People called Romans they go the house????

Excellent news, not sure if they'll get a game this season, but great to get them on a long contract

Hellewell and Lilycrop next ? Although I think there's a way to go before first team for them, but they both need to be signed up a-on long term deals.

well sam has already shown, if you're good enough you'll get the break"

also, it gives a bit more sense to the sculthorpe signing, as we've got him for 2 years. given the twins are only 17 at the moment so gives them 2 years to mature and develop while we have sculthorpe as a stop gap

I reckon unless w're 2-3 props down they won't get in next year. I imagine Scully, Scrutes, Lynch and Koppy will be our 4 props. Covered by Hall & Crossley.

Are they out and out props?

Or similar to Sam are they equally at home in the back row?

Oh..... and great news btw!!!

Brilliant news! Good that young players are coming through the academy system, even if the excitement is largely due to a certain other member of their family.

Good news, it's a real pity that they won't get to play with Sam and that we couldn't te,mpt Luke across from the dark side. Just imagine the publicity in having 4 Burgesessesessesses playing in the same team. Ace.

Burging on the ridiculous.

Even so, in true Alan Partridge style, I think we should adopt the "Burgii" term when refering to them both!

Luke won;t want to leave the winning team

We don't want him now, only worth having if we had all four.

Girls and jokes they just can't do it.

Even so, in true Alan Partridge style, I think we should adopt the "Burgii" term when refering to them both!

"The Burgii" does have a certain connotation as in reference to a warrior tribe.

Anyone googled burgess twins yet?

fine effort.

Do you remember when we said we could book appearences for the Burgess Twins if we sponsor them???..... Now I've google imaged searched the Burgess twins I have some different ideas regarding location for a personal appearence

...oh, and good news that the other twins have signed also

Robbed off totalrl, tbh.

Im sure no-one noticed, and once they googled no-one would care.

Didn't we agree I could take that offer up!!

I'm sure I remember offering my services first
