£500,000 is a steal

You cant blame him. Its his living and you go where the money is. I wish him the best and hope it works out for him.

Bondi Beach or Bath Rec. He must be getting a lot of money.
I suppose if you want to be a star who is recognised world wide , Union is the stage.

Another talent loss to union

Re: Sam Burgess to Rugby Union : Tue Feb 11, 2014 4:21 pm  

Shows you how useless Union is at bringing talent through. Joel Tomkins, Kyle Eastmond, George Ford, Owen Farrell all have a strong league background and end up playing for England. Now they want Sam Burgess. I can understand Burgess going for the money. But what are the Union lot expecting from Burgess? He has a year to learn the game before the WC. He is way too slow for the backs and he has discipline problems in League let alone Union with so many rules. Union are clueless.
