Yep, depends if he is willing to move to Hull. Think Leigh could be his best option.

Actually who do Saints have on the wings, Makinson, Ritson too, but he looks poor

Saints also have young Bennison for the wing, Burgess would be an amazing signing, he'd bring genuine pace and finishing to our backs, although TS said we have cap space I can't see it, think our location would be against us.

We need a second rower more than a winger.

Okubar won't play there for the reasons you have highlighted.

That leaves us with with Mcintosh (not good enough) and 4 inexperienced wingers, I'd happily go with that as there hasn't been any quality domestic wingers available, not there is I'd make an offer. We have 4 areas of weakness, wing, halfback, 2nd row amd loose forward, if the right players comes along in any of those positions that will strengthen the 17, we need to at least try amd sign him.

If we had a choice to strengthen any position then I agree it would the backrow, but there isn't the quality of Burgess available in the position currently.

Burgess is better than all of them

Be stupid not to upgrade

Location..... its professional sport not under 9s

Also he's moving 2 hours down the m62 not to south Sudan !

That may well be but the facts are the sport is still quite parochial and a number of Lancashire based players (professional or not) seem to have difficulty committing to come this far East whether we like it or not.

No idea what he has done but when you consider how desperate Salford are currently it must be something pretty significant.

He had the audacity to ask for his wages.

Probably trying to engineer a move, maybe refusing to train.

I'd bet he already has a club lined up.
