Rumours and Stuff

England international forward George Burgess has reportedly approached former coach Anthony Siebold about joining Brisbane Broncos from current side South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Burgess’ reach out to the Broncos is in a bid to alleviate salary cap pressure on the Rabbitohs, according to Channel 7.

The Broncos will probably need to move out a big-name player in order to fit Burgess in under their salary cap making the signing unlikely.

Even more unlikely when you consider George’s twin brother Tom signed a new deal up to 2023 with the Bunnies only yesterday.

George is off contract at the end of the year and reportedly snubbed an approach by Parramatta Eels earlier in the offseason.

I think they should be able to squeeze him in under the cap.

And still have a spare $million available.

Notice how Roosters recently signed Daniel Anderson and Kelly the ex-Manly CEO?, both de-registered by NRL for cap cheating. Why would Roosters employ these 2 who have already been caught out? Meanwhile they have for years had a roster with multiple players on $1m plus salaries and still remain under the cap, and with only $200k in TPAs. Don't need these 2 do they?

So now they need a fullback? They managed to convince Nene Macdonald he was homesick. Maybe Kalyn Ponga will find himself homesick too now.
