George Burgess released this morning, doubt any other NRL club will go in for him. Possible return to SL, get him at Leeds and then entice the brother over the year later? No quota issue and could be cheap.

Another injury prone signing is the last thing we need. If we're are close to the cap we shouldn't be risking money on Burgess, no matter how good he was.

I’d be happy for him to train with us to get / keep fit, but I don’t really see a viable signing.

He's also got a criminal charge to fight I think.

Wonder if we ever considered offering Prior a 1 year coaching deal as either JJB or Sean Longs replacement. Might have been a good way out for all parties given his physical decline but existing contract! He seems to have been considered a good role model.

Doesn't strike me as someone who would go into coaching.

maybe pay him his wage to be assistant to JJB.
another made up job

Sangares workrate bothers me, I just can't see a top player in him.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Mon Oct 17, 2022 8:23 pm  

He’s got some great raw materials to work with, but like many French players, I’m not sure he is willing to work hard enough. Let’s see, if he can adopt the right attitude he’s going to be a real handful, but we’ve both seen plenty that look like Tarzan and play like Jane (no offence intended…).

Even if he only does short minutes as a wrecking ball he'll add something to our pack. Holroyd (if he ever gets fit) aside none of our props really dent the line.

George Burgess

That's the NRL quality isn't it. Not sure he would sign for us? You'd imagine the Panthers, Eels, Storm would be interested if he was available
