Wrong Luke Burgess.
Or maybe it's a case of Sam knocking back bourbon. ;-) She'll jump on any anti-league story.Yeah News Ltd are really going to town on this story. I think Sam must have knocked them back for an interview or something.
Not a shred of truth in any of this but I guess it'll sell papers.
Sam Burgess is our best English forward along with James Graham and James Roby. To Beat the Aussies we need at least 10 truly world class players, and in Tomkins, Charnley, Watkins, Burgess, Roby, Graham and Ryan Hall we have just seven. - all of them would be within a whisker of the Kangaroo team.
To lose Sam Burgess is therefore a disappointment. I feel all the Razzamatazz surrounding the family should be handled and managed. Here is a Lad from Yourkshire who has never played Rugby Union in his life......My aspiration, if I was good enough would never be to play for England at Union it would be to beat the Aussies at League and it is bizarre beyond words that Sam thinks that wallowing in the mud at Bath is an any way better that what he currently has..All the talk of higher profile is garbage because he already has an amazing profile, and when I see former league players in Union I don't see any higher profile at all......It is rubbish and Burgess is making a monumental mistake. If he has stepped out of line he should hold his head high and apologise to his mates and brothers. Sam is an out and our League player and if you watched English Union as I it is a laboured and mud splattered sport bolsters by corporate lounge lizards fresh from the financial crisis.- Give it up Sam, its a fools errand
Maybe Sam just wants to move back to the UK and is using Union as the reason why? He might play, and I say might play one season of Umion there before signing with a Super League team.
There is one and one reason only why Sam will go back to the UK. Dollars. Secondary you could argue would be the lure of becoming a dual international and playing in there World Cup but at the end of the day it would be largely about an amount of money to good to refuse. Pure and simple. I think Sam Burgess is a wonderful player, one of the best in the game but there is clearly legs to this rumour and he will be playing in the 2015 Union World Cup. If it eventuates he will be a huge loss for you guys but not the end of the world.
My gut feeling is that Sam and his three brothers will head back to England as soon as they can.
Bon voyage Burgi.
In 3 years time he'll come back and win a comp with my Roosters ala SBW.
Chook.
