[DeeJ]

Ah I didn't know he was so tall. That's probably why he looks a bit leaner than most props.

Its no different from when Parramatta call up someone from Wenty, Penrith\Windsor, Roosters\Newtown

etc.

i thought that there was a second tear cap for pl and qcup, as there where this newcastle player that didnt get a run back in 2005 cuase he didnt fit under their second tier cap or something i dont know

Sam Burgess has OFFICIALLY signed with Souths for 4 years commencing next year.
Now that will be a MONSTER pack

8. Sam Burgess
9. Issac Luke
10. Roy Asotasi
11. Dave Taylor
12. Ed Pettybourne
13. Michael Crocker

14. Ben Ross
15. Luke Stuart
16. Scott Geddes
17. Dave Tyrell

I believe Souths have secured the best young forwards in Aus, GB and NZ in Taylor, Burgess and Pettybourne

i cant see luke stuart being on the bench he was souths most consistent player last year and with roy's knee injury they'll need experience

burgess could b the best signing of the year by far he plays exactly the same as morley

 

[McLovin]

Isaac Luke will look like a 5 year old when he stands in the scrum next to those guys...

Souths have a HUGE pack...

 

[Evil Homer]

Burgess will be the best prop in the NRL, guaranteed.

No pressure to live up to the Hype....

As a Tigers fan I wish we signed him, but there is still a question mark over him till he plays a full season.....

 

[skeepe]

:lol:

I love the fact that every time an English player comes over here, everyone is convinced he'll be the best in the NRL.

We've got some pretty damn good players here, just quietly.

Does anyone have a list of remaining off contract players?

I can start it with Roosters:

Riley Brown
Smith Samau
Matt Hall
Sonny Tuigamala
Tu'u Maori (Jets)
Iwi Hauraki (Jets)
Ray Moujalli (Jets)
Khalid Deeb (Jets)
Liam Foran (Jets)
Luke Towers (NYC)
Sandor Earl (NYC)
Ben Murray (NYC)
Dylan Sharp (NYC)
Ray Tafokitau (NYC)
Valeni Tia Tia (NYC)
Robbie Williams (NYC)
Mark Talanoa (NYC)

 

[baddog]

so that's where valeni ended up. how'd he go? big unit, but could be a bit soft.

 

[skeepe]

The only remaining off contract player for the Raiders that I'm aware of is Brad Cross, although I don't really know about NYC or below.

 

[Big Mick]

Burgess will be the best prop in the NRL, guaranteed.

He will be a very accomplished prop who will be inconsistent in his first season, but as he matures should mature into a very good prop forward.

To say he will be the best in the NRL which is more physical than the Super League competition in which defense is a premium is a stupid statement in my opinion.

Mate, Sam Burgess is taller than Tom Learoyd-Lahrs who's MASSIVE...

In fact I'm pretty sure Burgess will be the tallest person playing league in Australia next year.

Burgess is 199cm...in any case I'd take burgess for Tilse any day

But you can have Gibbs for Tilse....
