I doubt Hoffman would come to SL to be a reserve. He's not all that good, mainly because he can't or won't pass the ball.

Aren't there any English players who could do a job?

Wing for Briscoe or Handley (who I'm still totally unconvinced by)

Or you pay a fee for Evalds.

Stop this nonsense fairytale stuff about Sam Burgess its got no base in reality.

I’m only teasing really. I do think he will find life without playing difficult, but I don’t really think he will play again.

If we sign an outside back he should be better than what we have. So if it’s a centre move Newman to the wing or if it’s a winger it’s to replace Briscoe or Handley otherwise what’s the point.
As forSam playing again dream on he’s well and truly finished.

Its not repairable. He won't play again

That’s what they said when Alex Walmsley broke his neck.

The reality is none of us know whether Sam Burgess’s shoulder will recover enough for him to take the field again. It might, and if it does we have a marquee spot available.

If his shoulder was to heal then surely he would just go back to the Rabbithos.

I wonder if an NRL club have said they are willing to take him on, they don’t take much notice of Super League contracts nowadays and he’s made no secret that he wants to get back in the NRL, maybe we are better of with Gale after all.
