Surprised Long would leave Featherstone tbh.

Why?
If they came up, he’d do no good to his career the season after when they struggle.

I didn’t really want burgess. But will 100% get behind him

I suppose it’s a case of judging him at the end of next season.

Shaun Wane lost Wigan over 5000 attendance figure during his take over of a very successful team. Hence his push from IL, however they want to dress it up as.
He has not displayed the qualities Wire require.
You only have to look at England to see that.

Wrong.

He left over transfer disagreements. I know this as fact.

Souths have won an impressive 21 titles, 20 of which were won before Burgess was even born. Unless you're suggesting some sort of magic has rubbed off on him I'm not sure of the relevance.

Edit: Oops probably another ban incoming for arguing.

If people on this board got banned for arguing there would be nobody on it.

Perfect fit for Wire!!!

Assuming the rumour is true.

I assume the local Neighbourhood Watch scheme organisers will be curtain twitching like mad, the moment he turns up in the leafy avenues of WA4, with his dangerous dogs sh1tt1ng in gardens , untaxed gas guzzling cars and a tumble drier at the garden gate.

They'll have Stockton Heath Police Station on speed dial.


As somebody said earlier on.....

ALL ABOARD THE MAGIC ROUNDABOUT

Just claim it was contradiction, and not arguing at all.

Yeah, because we have no history of struggling at all.

Just got back from Menorca and thought this was a wind up.

I'll back Burgess, but I hope it's a short contract based on huge win bonuses. That way we can focus on who is likely to be available this time next year, in the likely event that Burgess and Long can't fix this mess. A rather odd couple.
