We'll wait and see what comes off. Would be nice to bring in a good replacement, but I'll be hoping it's not Clubb, LMS or Westerman. I don't think Westerman is nearly what everyone makes him out to be.'"
If he goes, which looks pretty likely now, it will be interesting to see who we go for.
Lets be honest, most SL clubs revenues will be down due to the current financial climate and should make it easier to go for a player or two. Im not sure it will be a direct Burgess replacement though. |

For mine, it depends where Glenn Hall is playing. If he's playing back row, we definitely need another prop. If he's playing prop, perhaps a back rower. Either way, I think it is a replacement for whichever position Burgess was planned on being played in next year.
Paul King it is then  |

I suppose it depends, for example we could bring say moi moi in on a free, but then spend on a half.
One thing is for certain, its going to be an interesting off season  |

No it won't. The Bulls say that as of this afternoon they haven't even heard from Souths. So unless they are lying, and I have no reason to believe they are, the only way there will be anything official tomorrow is if between now and then there is a Bulls-Souths signed deal involving the payment of a large amount of spondoolicks.
As Hood says, Sam can sign as many Aus contracts as he wants, it makes no odds. |

I wouldn't have King given. If he can't put his heart in his hometown club what hope is there for his pension funders?

and now the T&A too
www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... th_Sydney/
He has a legally binding obligation to return to the Bulls :
"As part of the agreement to release him, Burgess has given a legally-binding obligation whereby Bradford Bulls have the option to re-sign him should he decide to resume his rugby-league career in England at any time. " |

It's going to be interesting to see what the reaction from the Bulls will be tomorrow if Souths formally announce Sam's signing.

That legally binding agreement must have been drawn up in minutes! Can't be very watertight, although Caisley should be an expert on those.

That's the key bit.
Maybe you don't understand how legal stuff works. It's like a house, you can agree to buy it at £x now, but nothing is legally binding till contracts are signed off. And that might take weeks. The one I'm interested in is the one the Bulls and the Souths will eventually sign.
But the point is, he wasn't, and isn't, going anywhere without a large sum of spondoolicks coming to the Bulls - whatever he signs. |

Gutted, but i really hope he cracks it down under. A special player who will be in probably the most dominating pack in world rugby next season, in either code. We really do need a big marque signing now half the team as left.

dont think we'll go for a marquee player tbh, 2 or 3 genuine quality players would make a much bigger difference to the team than one marquee player. |

"[iSteve McNamara in particular, has been a massive influence on my career. They have all been very influential, both for myself and my career and I won't be turning my back on them because further down the line I'd like to think I may come back one day." [/i
Leaving on good terms rather than bad (by being forced to stay like some seemed to advocate) maybe he'll come back to us when he's done down under. Once he made his mind up to go this was the best we could hope for, that and hopefully the undisclosed fee is big enough to make a positive impact on the club.
Sorry he's going, and I hope it works out for him, but the club is bigger than any one player and now comes the important bit, rebuilding for next season and beyond.

The Bulls do have the option to re-sign Burgess, who has scored 17 tries in 79 appearances for the club, should he decide to resume his career in England and they match any other offer.
That bit stuck out to me the most.

What a load of pish.
Although its only one player, our squad didnt look in the best shape before this announcement and it certainly looks worse now.
One gets the feeling this has been agreed for months  |

Well I guess the signs have been there for a while, dissapointed yes but not without hope. We must have some wedge of salary cap available now. Let's use the money we recieved and the cap we have to increase out strength in depth.
The next few weeks/months are going to be pivotal, let's see what the club can pull out of the hat.
