We had an issue with background services between march 10th and 15th or there about. This meant the payment services were not linking to automatic upgrades.

I seem to recall a number on this forum doing the same with Vave last year. Taught me not to make predictions for the coming season and wait to see how that on paper looks on the field.

You might want to recheck your stats. Starling is 6ft 1" and 105kg. Hardly a pushover. Also compare his average metres gained and missed tackles against Burgess and he %$#$ all over him in both stats. Starling is also 25. Burgess is about to turn 29 next month. Starling is hands down a better choice to keep than Burgess.

I think you will find it was 2008 and 2011 when we won the comp...."mate"
Like others have said, the only reason Burgess is still here is because other clubs see no value in him unlike Starling and Lawrence.
Yep Burgess was one of our dumbest signings ever, taken on when we weren't signing anyone to appease the fans.
Rates up there with Chris Bailey I'd say.

Burgess has feet for hands and last busted a tackle in 2000

We brought back Geoff Toovey!
Lol. Starlo had arguably the best leg drive in tackles out of all of our props when he returned from injury last season. He was making metres post contact and was definitely no pushover. I've never seen Burgess have that same effect while wearing our colours.

Starling looks 'hungry.' Burgess...not really.
We were signing Matt Ballin then also !

Using that criteria Zorba would be the first player signed

Why do you think Souffs didn't put up a fight when Kelly wanted to sign LUKE Burgess and not Tom or George? Luke was a fringe first grader at best when he was at Redfern and before that he was mostly a bench player at best with Leeds. If Kelly had wanted either or both of the twins he would have got a nice, polite F*** OFF from Crowe and his management team. But Luke? Go ahead, take him they said.
Luke Burgess has been a major disappointment in the maroon and white. He's definitely no Kevin Ward or Mal Reilly and he's not even in the Phil Lowe, Steve Norton or John Grey class.
Starling may not be spectacular, he may not ever play for his state let alone his country. But he'll give you 100% (or close to it) every time he's out there. On stats and general play he leaves Burgess for dead.
I'm wondering if Jols81 is mother Burgess.....

With Russell giggling at her side as she posted her comments.
The fact is no club is knocking down our door to desperately sign either of them. I agree though that Burgess is a Bum

Whilst Knight will probably turn out great he is untried at NRL level and experience says it will take him a couple of years to adjust so to have him above BJ and Starling (which would mean straight into the starting squad as 4th prop) is strange but not as strange as Burgess being above them.

With a capital "B"!
Yes and how did that end up?
I'd say BJ & Starlo are "appealing" to other sides whereas they'd run for miles at the thought of Burgess.
Obviously we are reducing cap space for another player but who ( or whom )?
