Burgess is 20 though and Eorls 27, think most people would take Burgess everytime due to the potential. Wasn't Eorl playing in the Northern Ford at the same age? Not a dig at all as i rate Eorl, however you have to remember Burgess has been playing SL and international rugby since he was 17 i think.
