Prop opportunity

George Burgess is apparently considering moving to Broncos next year due to Salary cap issues at Souths and Seibold and wife’s family in Queensland.

If happens it would likely force a Prop out of Broncos. If not, maybe we could get George

Also Knights have blown their cash on Klemmer so unlikely to get TPJ

  • Broncos have great group of young fowards so why would they give one of them up for Burgess.  They may lack a bit of experience but did sign Shaun fensom to help with the younger players.  They also  have McCullogh at hooker and Gillette back this year so will have enough experience to guide the young pack

  • George will stretch even the Broncos Salary cap and push a prop of the starting position and another off the bench

  • I'm not sure what happened with the eels and Burgess negotiations.

    Maybe he's asking too much? Maybe he had a chat with who would be his front row partner, Timmy Mannah and thought, yeah nah.

    • I thought we were after Tom not George - for this year

      George’s contract is up next year

    • Or maybe too much juice! 

  • No to Lodge or Tagatese. Both are plodders. Haas isnt leaving. That leaves Ofengaue. I say yes at the right price. Im glad we didnt get Burgess. Was great during Souths GF year. Has regressed every year since. Has worse hands than Peni. And Peni's hands are shit. I think he only has one finger on each hand.

    • What about David Fafita?

  • #Proportunity

    • Yeah - should had gone with that as the title- if I had of thought of it

"Chief, the last thing we need right now is Brad Arthur having a say in the rebuild.
He will be chasing collision players when we need touch footballers.
Could be in for 10 years of failure if he is allowed anywhere near the rebuild."

"Yeah i know. Maguire at least has a premiership ring with Souths. To me just because they get success in Origin means nothing about how they will do in NRL. Not saying you cannot succeed, you definately can but should not be used as an indicator."
