Plus the fact that Smith is crap.

He wasn't for the Eels.

Certainly is for the Pies though.

I honestly wouldn't know about the NRL as I haven't seen any in years.

I don't think we're in any position to be criticising other teams' halfback pairings.

I'd certainly take Smith at 6 over Sykes any day of the week.

Not sure I would. Especially considering the wages he'd probably want.

Leuluai or young Tomkins would be a different matter though.

Will the Bulls fans torch Odsal if Burgess goes?

That could be a good thing as far as the OSV goes...

I'd rather have Leuluai as a Hooker judging by the world cup, i've always liked him as a player though. Tomkins will be one to watch in the future though, he'll turn into a huge star.

Mortimer and Hayne aren't going anywhere. Moimoi or possibly Nathan Cayless could be obvious chances. Ben Smith could also be an option.

Scratch the last one, Signed for Cronulla.

So Gareth Ellis, who took a pay cut to play in the NRL and is currently making a good fist of it, will be happy to come back to the UK to prop up a basement club who he already turned down when they were closer to their prime in 2005? Give over.

There will be no transfer, if he goes he will get released with a clause, but no players or cash will be coming other way, he will not be released to go to another sl club, but maybe to aus, but we will get nothing in return.

When's Burgess off contract?

That would be a good deal, we would all be happy with that I'm sure.

End of 2011

I never suggested he would. If you read further back I just made a list of players who would be good signings, I never mentioned anything about the likeleyhood of us getting them.

Weren't we linked with Krisnan Inu last season? Could do with him in the centres next season.

Doesn`t matter if we happy with it or not, if player wants to go and we get assurances he will come back to us nowt us fans can do, happens all time with salary cap now in place, he will be a loss but club wont crumble without him, its doing that with.

Burgess will play in Oz says Caisley: www.totalrl.com/features/content ... tcat_id=49 ....one day.

Burgess will play in Oz says Caisley: www.totalrl.com/features/content ... tcat_id=49 ....one day.

hope it doesnt happen to sam but he could get injured next week and not play again how can anyone predict the future and him playing in oz in the years to come.

See what I mean, the rumour like the Nobby and This latest one about Hillarie, Clawson and Richards are quickly put to bed, yeah the silence regarding the rumour of one of our remaing rays of light are allowed to fester.

Silence is worrying. Come on Bulls, tell us about Burgess.

Yes, they have already proved today that they will give us the bad news when they have to

Why does everywhere doing an article about Burgess think his contract runs out next year? 2011

Is it only me that wonders if he has a get-out clause for the NRL at end of 2010...?

if he does and he decides to use it at end of 2010 season fairplay to the lad. although it would be nice if club clarified the situation. would settle a lot of rumors down if we knew this was the case and dont think anyone would hold it against sam.
