That just really pi$ses me off. Sam, if you go, don't go to these arrogant ar$eholes, go to Manly or Wests please.

I'm not sure Burge leaving will cause the massive upset you suggest, I feel the supporters who attend games now, are not there for the "hype" or to watch "sex on legs" we are down to the die hards who will be there thru' thick and thin, I honestly can't see crowds falling much more. Your points are valid tho' in attracting new supporters, which really is the only way forward.

I'm more worried about how we'll find it harder to build now than we did in 96 when we had the cash and the impetus from SL starting. I agree that we're probably getting down to the hard core of supporters but clubs need to the "floaters" cash too, as you say to move forward.

The Bulls are in the entertainment business and crowd pleasers are necessary to pull in the punters and grow the business. Supporters who attend for the most part expect to be entertained though I agree the form of the entertainment has varied from excitement to comedy this year.

It's been more like a shakespearen "tragedy" than anything.

Souths could have a formidable pack with Roy Asotasi, David Kidwell, Sam Burgess and they have also signed Brisbanes monster Dave Taylor.

And plenty of "farce" at times!

I think a lot depends on who will coe in when Burgess goes. If you get a couple of big names, there is no reason to be pessimistic. However if you continue to sign 'journeymen' (with the exception of Scrutes and Menzies), then crowds and belief will continue to drop.

If Burgess goes, fans will want to see the money spent on the team, not gobbled up elsewhere.

Another factor to consider is that he could go for free depending on what's in his contract. If he has an NRL release clause at the end of 2010 then we'd lose him early and for nowt. If not then he'll be off at the end of 2011. Otherwise we're relying on an NRL club putting their hand in their pocket to the tune of at least £500k and that's unlikely to happen.

The only way I can see him staying is if his circumstances change and he gets hitched to some lovely lass who doesn't want to leave Bradford. I'm not sure if he's single but I hear that debaser and Keith Booaza have plans to dress up as ladies to attempt to seduce young Sam into staying.

"...have plans to..."??

Souths have called a immediate press confrence 1pm Aussie time tomorrow at ANZ Stadium with an important announcement.

Who put his eye out?

may be an interesting week to come

they have a game tomorrow dont the at the ANZ ? im sure they will be thinking about that

i think he has a girlfriend of somekind in aus who he met last year....may be a factor

Apparently the announcement is expected to be regarding their sponsorship for next season, so you can relax.............for now

Is that Sheila?

Poor lad, Aussie women are rank.

I'd rather date my old man's Gloucester old spot

Your old mans Gloucester Old Spot must be some looker

Ewww, like I said, I'd rather date the pig.

LOL.

Bull Power, look the other way for hot girls.

Or Russell Crowe personally? - loose change for him, getting somewhere around £10m for the new Robin hood film

He has signed with Souths for 2011, 2012 and 2013 season.

souths are trying to get him for 2010 as well but are working on that part.
Some sort of transfer fee.

You know this how exactly? Or are you just, as I suspect, causing trouble.

Hmmm . . . . . Crowe reckons Sam's already one green eye and one red eye
