The cynic in me would suggest you're not far from the truth.... Though I suspect the amount of free publicity Skybet have received on this story might be more valuable than a few bets on this market.... Sam Burgess, probably the most publicised non-football subject at the moment....

Can't see us getting him, we've used our marquee spot on Sam Tomkins as far as I'm aware?

Can't se anyone getting him to be honest, he will trot off back to Southstander in a canter, can't see him signing up for any superleague club unless he's after the money then maybe SAlford,

He's got nothing to prove in the NRL anymore. Only Leeds can offer anywhere close to what he's on

heard on the radio that according to Bath coach Mike Ford they are looking to extend Burgess's contract.

The chances of Burgess coming back to SL next season are very slim to none imo, as mentioned above it's more than likely a few bookies taking advantage of current affairs.

It's pointless. He won't play for England again.

after the way luke left, missing training and unprofessional behaviour, I can't see leeds wanting him back

Ha I wouldn't think so, he's been out injured since end of August. He's just started running again this week

What? He broke his arm.

I think we are talking about different players

The last conversation Ford had with Burgess was 2 weeks ago (according to Ford in the same interview), prior to the yawnion WC. Things have changed significantly since then.

They spoke to him and George in December about coming for 2016. As far as I was aware a deal was not done.

Lots of rumours about the Bunnies wanting to off load Luke though. Persumably they want to keep Tom and George?

I think you might be a bit late with that rumour

I thought he signed for Manly back in January?

Solid rumours then!

Last night, Sir Kevin Sinfield said that Sam Burgess is definitely not signing for us.

Was that with his Rhinos or Carnegie hat on.

Both. It was a Half&Half Hat.

Let's hope he has his magic one tommorrow!

Not quite what he said.

What he said was he was aware of the rumours we were linked with Sam and whilst it would be great if he knew Sam he thought Sam would want to stay in Union to prove the doubters wrong.

I think Sir Kev might well be right, I think Sam will want to give himself a bit longer in RU and let's face it he could pretty much move to any RL and many RU club in either hemisphere any time he fancies a move. If he comes into SL I would want it to be with Leeds, but if that isn't his plan then I would be more than happy for us to spend what ever we have in the war chest and cap on strengthening elsewhere. Hooker, 2nd row and a succession plan for the halves would be top of my wish list.

I wasn't quoting him word for word mind. But I think he was pouring water on the concept.

What I found interesting is he thought the ill-feeling between the 2 Codes of Rugby was a 2 way street and that he was disappointed at the way "Rugby Union" has treated Sam. Especially the Ex-Players who he thought should know better. He like most people thinks Sam played well and deserves a place on Saturday. I know he didn't say much about it, but I wonder if he's at all worried about the reception he'll receive from the Rugby Union World. Granted nowhere near as High Profile as Sam's Move.

I wonder whether Barrie has returned to Wigan yet

Slightly uncalled for, maybe the beer talking.
