I haven't heard anything about Sam Burgess. Maybe it's worth a look on youtube. You've got to wonder about the logic behind trying a player from the ESL. Most of the time it doesn't work. Ellis came to Australia with huge expectations but hasn't seemed to do too much for the Tigers. It will be an interesting experiment if it works.
You know the guy has talent when he's playing in the backrow for Great Britain at 18, and he is still only 20 now, so he is still atleast another 5-6 years off his peak as a forward, if not longer.. I really think he would be a star in NRL, he has aggression and technique, and he will only get better when he's playing in the best competition in the world..
Steve Menzies has been around long enough to notice a good player and if Beaver rates him, then that's a pretty solid recomendation.. In regards to Gareth Ellis, if you ask any tigers fan they have been really impressed by him and hold him up there with their best players this season, they really value his work ethic and skill.
Ben Smith, Roughly the same as Sam Burgess Bwahahahahaahahaaaaaa!!!
