Burgess confirmed returning to souths

[Clay]

Having S back in thier team just makes the Bunnies a bigger target.
Every teams forward pack will be lining up to test themselves.
They would have to release more then Walker you would assume to accomodate Burgess

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I agree with the fact that its good for the game that he came back, what I don't agree with is IF (and yes I know its an if) the NRL does any sweetheart deals to see him back at Souths.

No drama's Mariah Packer kicking in the Million Dollar transfer fee, his prerogative, and no drama with TPA agreements (although I do have an issue with the unfairness of them across the range of 16 clubs) but I just hope the NRL are not "sweetening" the deal waiving say $1 million of the cap to fit him in.

And you can then expect the following to happen (if true).

Filou to the Drizzle, stumped up by the NRL to the tune of say $1.3 Million

Hayne to the Rorters, stumped up by the NRL to a similar amount as Izzy

Money Bill to the Warriors, same deal........its about time NZ won a GF and I reckon in 2016 the Worriers will be the NRL sweethearts, just watch this space.

I got a feeling the Sharks might be the sweethearts next year especially with the FFA looking to put a team in the shire.
No doubt the channel 9 Burgess love fest will be in full swing come round one

Clay, I won't "dislike" your post, as it looks like I don't like what you have stated BUT gee I dislike the content of that last statement, oh god it will be sickening, I'm almost vomiting now at the thought of it.

I fully understand mark, not looking forward to it one bit.
One potential positive is maybe little brother might pull a few strings to reunite with Big brother. I'm sure there will be some changes to Souths roster between now and round one

 

[mosto]

Put in perspective, Souths are willing to pay $1M+ for a player who can't make the starting team of the world's 8th ranked rugby nation...

 

[Eagleheart]

This is such a 'big surprise', who would have seen this coming.......lol.

What a joke this old thing has been. He left to play in a world cup. Now that’s over he gives Bath the Flick. If anyone wants to leave the NRL that’s fine but they should be made to honour their contracts where they leave to go not just pick and choose where and when they want to leave to or come back. I feel sorry for whoever gets the chop and I feel sorry for Bath. Are they going to be compensated. Once again the NRL will help this Mob out again.

So, any predictions for the favourite boys name for 2016 at Channel 9?
"Greg", "Sam", "Greg", "Big Sam", "Kieran"?

Wait till its Thurston v Burgess. Friday night game will need to start on Wednesday so Rabs can wax lyrical to his heart's content..

Oh dear, can't wait for this , and to think I thought 2014-15 was bad!!

Don't forget that perennial favourite "Billy", or as Rabs likes to say "Bill". I prefer to call him C U Next Tuesday.

 

[master blaster]

Announcement to be made within the next hour, 3 year deal from 2016 according to Bulldog Ritchie.

Memo souths players,just goes to show you what a great team player he is.Players will have to go to make way for him,and I bet money has got nothing to do with it either

 

[Ryan]

I was kind of worried about The Bunnies forward pack when I heard Burgess resigned with them, but then I thought of who we recently signed, and I'd actually prefer him than the pom.

I'm looking forward to Taupau, Lussick and Trbojevic destroying Burgess and making him wish he was back in Bath.

 

[Sideline Eye]

Sammy said he is looking forward to being reunited with his brothers and mother again.

Wonder if Luke will follow his brother home to Souths to be reunited with his family also???

Wishful thinking I suppose.

 

[midsteyne]

looking forward to the first hit up against james graham,ouch

 

[skull61]

SMH are saying he will be included in the salary cap at his previous salary do Vermin should not be too disadvantaged by having one of the best players in the world

Don't know if it belongs here
But I just want to say I hate souffs in every way
The club stinks
The players stink
The fans stink and we should never let them back in the comp

Watch this space about a GI blow up
Can't wait
