could well be ready for that in a few years time? if he did move to aus that would harm his england career as the aussies wont release him to fly half way round the world to play meaningless friendlies

Another reason to go.
Also Manly (as an example) beach or Bradford public swimming baths? I'd bloody go for nothing!

Burgess and Graham (because of their age) would cost about £400k minimum, Sinfield and Peacock about £250k under contract, even with sinfield being rubbish.

Probably, but they have a very rich owner and players to throw in too, and if you saw the Melbourne game you can see why they need props and a loose forward because what they have at the minute is dire, so money spent in that department is money well spent.

I can see burgess and Graham going, if they went now, they'd be back by the time they were 25-27. Then again a ginge in the oz climate is not a good plan!

Don't listen to Cas fans when they talk transfer rumours. They talk nonsense.

Past your bed time?

Burgess will be in the NRL within 2 years.

I don't think being at the Bulls though these last few years of turmoil has helped Burgess' development. If anything it's drifted into regression.

At the right club (Saints/Leeds/NRL) I think you'd see him explode.

I couldn't see him going to anyone but Leeds if he stayed in this country.

There are still a number of questions about Burgess that have yet to be answered.

What is his natural position? What impact has his shoulder injury had on him? Has he been forced to change his tackling technique? Is he even fit?

Past my bed time, lol. That hillarious.

You Cas lot are used to kidding yourselves, and again we see that on show with the silly statement above.

'If' Burgess goes to the NRL, it will be at the end of his current Bulls contract and for the start of the NRL 2012 season.

As for his best position, I think it's second row, but because we are short on a prop then he's being asked to play there, and rotate whenever there is an injury in the pack. I think next season we will see him more settled into 1 position, because at the moment I think his development is being stifled by moving around to much.
