I know it's difficult or more correctly distracting, but, just ignore the twerp, after rolling your eyes, sighing, laughing or whatever floats your boat.

Replying to our visitor will only give them the child- like attention that they crave. There will be nothing more frustrating than not getting a reaction, much better than a ban IMO and let's face it on one level the whopper and the warped, one eyed desperation is quite funny/sad?

Does that mean if you aren’t talented you have to pay? Slightly subjective!!

As a non Union fan this signing to me is absolutely Bizzare, as i'd never heard of him before so have never seen him play. I can't remember any union player in the past maybe 10 years that has been successful in league (apologise if i'm wrong). And no i don't mean league players that left and came back, i mean out and out Union players that come to league.
As far as i know Burrell hasn't played league in 10+ Years, he's a centre that is 6'3 and over 17st so i don't think he will actually play as a league centre, i could be wrong but for me this signing is a real head scratcher. Apart from the salary cap factor of course.
But as always i wish him the best and will save judgement until i actually see him play for us, he's a big powerful guy from what little i've seen of him so hopefully he will be awesome for us

If it’s free it’s worth a punt. Not quite sure he’s 17 stone but he will lose bulk. Having said that Hurrell must be that kind of weight.
Can’t think of any Union converts in the last 10 years apart from Andy Powell who had a bizarre spell with Wigan!

Watching him (on YouTube admittedly), looks like one of those players who you look at and think could make it in league (Brown, Ford, Farrell, Halfpenny to name few) but only time will tell with fitness etc., and whether that's a reality.

Odd. But interesting signing.

That is an interesting poser though, who was the last decent union convert to league without having first played league before coming back? Gareth Thomas and Andy Powell hardly at the world alight. Can't even think of anyone else other than fringe players.

There’s loads of players that could make it in League and the same from League to Union. You just need to select the right players.
Thomas was mid 30s I recall and wasn’t awful. Powell was an aging badly conditioned boozer who was released by a poor Sale side. He certainly had the raw tools, but was knackered after 2 mins!! Sale released a young lad Jordan Davies who went to Salford and played a bit. He’s back in lower league Union. No one any good with England international ambitions would move across. England players earn as much in the 6 nations as a highly paid league player sadly.

Sam Burgess (ahem)

Here to clear the line.
Top scooter
Russell’s replacement

I think he is some level or three above that Pat. He hits the line at pace...pretty much aka Atkins at 23

Gareth Thomas was good for crusaders IMO, he was a good player in a poor side unfortunately.

Which young lads? Our centres are Atkins, Goodwin and King. Atkins is coming to his end. And we currently have 59 year old Westwood playing Loose.

Burrell will play centre or loose. Atkins and Westwood to become deeper squad players.

I think Karl is really starting to do a good job as our CE. We all had reservations when he first came into the role but this is a great signing, a good way to get the most quality you can with the hindrance of a salary cap, a coup and good publicity for the sport!

Anyway, just watched a video on YouTube and Burrell seems to be able to throw the ball about well and runs good lines

Playing loose forward could be the answer. That might work pretty well.

It may be that this was intended tongue in cheek, but for the life of me I don’t get the comparison.

https://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/ ... salary-cap Confirmation, Wont count on the cap for 18 months, 2021 will count as 50% - wouldn't surprise me if he didn't count as Non Fed Trained either. That makes it much less of a risk, I had expected that he would be 50% in 2020 and 100% in 2021. We have one more spot left, who we bringing in next?!?

That's amazing that, smart work.

Ironically, Burrell lost his place in the England RU squad so they could get Burgess in.

great signing IMO...not on the cap and great PR, good business from Warrington. Looking at his size, second row for my money....depends how fast he is I guess. Big unit in the centres with serious pace has the potential to be very useful. Well done wires..AGAIN!! The board is doing some great stuff at the moment.

Yes hence my post but yes seriously it's possible. If we did...Fred Done will stop taking bets on Wire.

‘This is a great signing’. Then the post later, ‘just watched a video on youtube’. I’d love to know how it’s good publicity for the sport as well.

How you can call a 31 year old who you’ve never watched play the sport a ‘great signing’ I really don’t know.

Well for a start, take your head out from up your ass.

It looks to have made bigger UK national press and UK social media coverage than Austin, Widdop and Barba did....and very likely than all three together.
It's made national noises to rival Solomona and Charnley.
