Good luck to Burgess hope he does ok however for me the risk involved in a three year deal on what is probably top 5 players in the superleague level money is too great.He has a big body and not many of his frame can play to 36 he's a different type of prop to JP. In terms of where we would be taking the money from in the cap I think its a risky investment.
We can talk about the merits of our back row but yhey were all 1 and 2 year extensions. The money Burgess is getting over three years would impact new contracts for our current crop of youngsters as they develop. I have more of an issue with us not going for the likes of Eseh which was financially possible.In all probability another prop will come in next year if Martin goes and if TNW kicks on we will look better balanced.
