I heard a rumour last night that Nick Scruton is going back to Leeds and we are getting Luke Burgess as a replacement. Can anyone confirm or deny the rumour?

Well I can understand why Leeds would be happy with that deal, but what's in it for Bradford except decreasing the quality of our Props?

I also understand that we are swapping Sykes for Maguire and Crossley for Peacock.

100% not true

Who in their right mind would accept that deal??

Strange. It is not really that long ago that a few on here were clamouring for us to go out and get Luke Burgess. And my word was I not condemned for suggesting that the only reason Bradford fans rated him was because of his surname rather than his ability.

How quickly people change their opinions.........

Yep, you also once said that Fui Fui Moi Moi was average and people had only heard of him because of his odd name.

I rate Burgess as a slightly above average SL Prop, whereas I rate Scruton as a possible future England Prop.

Fui Fui Moi Moi IS average. He was another that started an annual RAB chugfest. Not entirely sure why.

Although quite a brave prediction rating him as a future England prop when has is already a full international...

Ok regular England Prop.

For someone who regularly confesses to not watching NRL and seemingly having little knowledge of the competition, what do you base your opinion on? He might be over rated by some but average? Give over.

Fui Fui would walk into our starting 17

All a matter of opinion. Decidedly average IMO and totally overhyped. However, as Bettabuys points out in the post following yours, he would apparently "walk into our side". Maybe he would if we were willing to pay over the odds and waste a quota spot on someone that is not worth it.

Load of .

Stranger things have happened.


Remember when Michael Worrincy went to the NRL?

Dipstick Eddie

Can i ask you a question

Fui Fui or Koppy?

Ignoring your hurtful "dig", I have to say that that is a stupid question. However when you consider that Moi Moi would be likely to be on at least five times the money that Kopczak is on, you have to wonder if it is a pertinent question? Moi Moi is better than what we have but is nowhere near the player he is trumped up to be by some on here.

However when you weigh up the pros and cons, I would rather stick with an improving HOME GROWN, non quota player on a decent wage like Kopczak over an overhyped expensive import like Moi Moi who would probably only be here for the money.

It is not a stupid question. I accept salaries, quotas etc but you siad Moi Moi was average. Taking all the above out iof the equation Moi Moi would walk into our starting 17

Which begs the question....just how bad is your squad when an overweight one trick pony can waltz straight in?

No Diskin jokes please.

Dont you think he would walk into your side then?
Nailed on in my opinion

Who is Diskin's replacement at Leeds? If its that Mcshane lad, i think he needs to lose abit of timber.

Burgess as a meter maker is far better than scruton. Im not burgess biggest fan but
Parts of his game a better than scroots parts arnt.

Burgess is a bit of a flat footed defender but he makes good yards. He's not the player Scruton is tho.

I think thats fair to say, but I think Scruton's overall game is better.

I'd rather have Scruton on my team, if not for anything else, just for the big hits. I'm not saying Luke Burgess is a bad player, just not as good as Scrutes.
