Take a bow Joe Burgess.

Clearly the lad is a great talent he is physically superb and has some great skills.

I just wish he didn’t need a massive kick up the booty to get the best out of him.

So much talent but it only seems when he is shown the door at a club he gets his head on and tries to prove them wrong.

Salford have one hell of a player next year...if he remains motivated.

With Marshall’s injury and him hitting top gear I keep sitting their wondering if it’s too late to keep him but will we get out of him what we’re getting currently on a regular basis? He us absolutely busting a gut at the minute to impress, putting effort on efforts in defence, hustling people and working his backside off in attack.

So much talent, an absolute top player in natural ability terms but he’s the ultimate drifter, who just walks through some spells in his career. If he does hit top form next year Salford will have a gun back line. It’s a bit maverick in parts but Escare, Sio, Watkins, Sarginson and Burgess will trouble plenty of teams. I could’ve sworn they were meant to be skint!

I think he’s been awesome the last few weeks.

Considering we’re (probably) losing French and Marshall will be coming back from an ACL, I think it would’ve been shrewd to keep him on. Bibby had a tough time tonight and we don’t have anyone about to step up from U18s. If Marshall and Manfredi get injuries next year we’re screwed. Unless we sign another winger of course.

Re: The most frustrating player : Fri Sep 25, 2020 9:53 pm  
I was gutted when he signed for Salford, when he's on form he's immense, as good as any winger In SL. It was his lack of form last year that scuppered it for him.

I've no doubt he'd sooner be at Wigan than going to Salford. I'd much sooner he was at Wigan. We're OK having 43 props, but 3 wingers. No get rid...

I think had Marshall picked up the injury before Burgess had signed for Salford we would have retained him.

I now fully expect us to bring in a winger in the offseason.

Are you so sure it was purely our choice? He may prefer being first choice at Salford rather than reserve when everyone is fit at Wigan. I also presume he would generally be a bigger fish at Salford so could be offered a larger portion of their cap.

That’s the point.

If he played like he was motivated week in week out he would be one of our starting wingers.

Oh for sure! I'm just not convinced it's as simple as Wigan deciding we want him after all now.

Have I missed something or has it not been made official that Burgess is going?
