It's done Sam Burgess no harm this season, or Gareth Ellis for the last 2 years. Burgess has played 70+ minutes for the last few weeks as a prop and got plenty of praise for his efforts. They have already improved by playing in the NRL, and will continue to get better.

I can't see how Graham going over to Oz would be anything other than good for England. That said, if he was playing for my team and left for the NRL, I'm pretty sure I'd be cheesed off too

Of course he made over 200m... 54-0 = a lot of kick of returns!!

Imagine how many more metres he would make if he actually ran into the defensive line, rather than passing the ball before taking a hit-up.

They've improved IMO, especially Ellis. They are better players because of the intensity of the weekly rounds over there, playing against better players. Some players would struggle in the NRL, but I think think these 2 have excelled

Is Burgess playing prop or back row?

Souths have had an injury crisis in the forwards so he has been forced to play in the front row.

In regards to Graham I hope he does come down under I'll tell you what Saints fans I'll swap you Chris Bailey for him. I was going to say Josh Perry but you've already signed him
