George Burgess

Reports from various sources the Eels are keen to bring him over next year even though he rejected us this year.

Firstly, he'd only be coming for money. Not sure thats the reason you'd want to bring a bloke over who's heart is with Souths and his brothers.

Secondly whoever is making these enquiries should watch how woeful he was yesterday against Manly. Admittedly his first game of the season but he's had about 4 knock ons and limited impact in his game since about 2015.

He's not worth the money. Offering him close to a mil and Gutho 400k is a disgrace. If we're throwing big money at a prop go after Taukiaho. George Burgess aint it.

  • Agree

  • id take adam fonau blake for 400k-500k instead of george burgess if available.

  • Not for me, no heart, no impact and way to many mistakes in his game.

    Persist with Kaufusi and Utoikamanu they will develop into a very good players.

    • Yep Tragiceel on the money, Kaufusi, Utoikamanu, Fainga’a, Stone + maybe one purchased 

      2020 Parry, Brown, Salmon, Sivo, Moses, Mahoney, Guth, Alvaro, Paulo, Lane, Tep, Ma’u, Peni, Jennings M, Brown N, Ferg, Niukore, 

      pretty farken good side

  • never was a fan of the pommy git. Give The King 650k then sniff arouind for a prop, even though our forwards are doing a good enough job already buut don't see the Pommy Burgess in the B&G......and noticed how well the lads gelled without having The Hack and Coke Head Norman in the side?

  • Why do you think Blake Ferguson came here from the Roosters ?

    He didn't come for the view.

    That said I don't believe we need him, Burgess not Fergo.

    • Alan you hit the nil in the head about Ferguson 

      Im for one be over the moon if we get George Burgess but i hope we get someone else to like Joe Ofahengaue 

    • I don't know Brett.. You can have the views looking down Parramatta River, or of the rats scurrying down the gutters in Redfern...

  • I agree the burgess twins are a gay marshmellow with sprinkles version of their brother Sam. 

  • No 

    Not worth the money 

    if we could get him for $500k yes

    but he will only come here at a price not worth it
