Sam Burgess retires

[Sparkles 2001]

Im not firmilar, but then i only really know the top apex's in the game.
What topball squadron does he play for?

What’s your opinion on big John Bateman making the wrong type of headlines?

Im afraid im not firmilar with John Bateman? Does he play full forward or in the mid field?
I really only follow my beloved Fremantle Dockers

Bate Johnman is a quality 3rd rower, and is one to watch for the future.

George Burgess quoted today saying he won't be suprised if Sam comes out of retirement to play again. Its not a rort though, honest!

That Shane Richardson bloke really knows how to play a tune the NRL dance to.

tbh I would want to see Sam B plays again. A rare, aggressive player even though he's playing for a team I hated.

Should be banned for life

Great news welcome back Sammy. We’ve all missed you

yep shows what a rort that we all knew it would be and now Dugan trying the same as per fox.
Clubs that want to sign players to long term deals SHOULD have to live and suffer for those decisions , not because player is crap or not worth value , medically retire them .

Lol at Dugan, a back who has used more interchanges than any back...

Played the ball more slowly than any other player...

Feigned more "look at moi, I'm suffering but tough" moments than anyone...

Trying to pull the same shizzle to get a 900k a year medical retirement but actually have HIS OWN club's medico's look at it & go, "Errm... maybe more a band aid & a nice hot bath than a medical retirement actually DUges, much as we'd all like to see you piss off, no one is going to fall for this".

Andrew Fifita takes the cake for mine. Him and Dugan if they have a poor run will take all day to PTB while they whinge for a penalty or get up slowly acting hurt. Hayne was good at that also back in the day.

Somewhat related, I see Fat Richo has come out AGAIN stating publicly that they're still trying to get Arrow for 2020. This almost weekly open courting of a contracted NRL player is a disgrace and a very bad look for the game. If I was a Titans fan I'd be pissed.

I really think this is unprecedented and the NRL should step in. Can anyone find another example of a club putting constant public pressure on another club to release a player early before his contract is up?

When the Roosters signed Crichton a subdued announcement was made and then we went silent. There was no public display every week to try and get Souths to release him early.

Fat Richo and Souths really have no shame.

Sam burgess took a knee and just straight out didnt play the ball. Does that win?

Milford 2014 off-season.

It was bad enough the Raiders ended up giving the Broncos Souths Logan too.

Same when we signed James Maloney from The Warriors for 2013 early in the 2012 season.

pity you didn’t put the full quote in but I guess that’s true to form for you and your dishonest approach to things


“Maybe not in a few months, maybe in three years he might get the itch again, we'll see," Burgess said.

"It couldn't surprise me, but I would doubt it highly.

Whatever you think of him as a player, he would have to be the most legitimately taped up player

As a Manly supporter, I’m disgusted that you’ve downplayed the efforts of Jorge Tafua’s glacial ball playing, and the years of theatrical shoulder grabbing as exhibited by one Steve Matai!!

Fair crack, his shoulder was stuck together with blue tac
