Was told today by the same source that revealed Joe Kelly was coming to Manly that we are making a big play for Tom Burgess. Tom is on a lot less coin than George and Manly is striking. Joe obviously knows which players at Souths are being paid under their worth. Just thought I would share.
Excellent news. But. Props is a distant second to having no halves from next year. And I don't want to become souths, like parramatta are becoming us.
He would be great here. I reckon we have a 50/50 chance of getting him. I would say for about 400-500k sounds about right. With his other brother here that only helps our chances
An absolute beast at 22 years old. Imagine a starting front row of Burgess and Jake. Young hungry and hard as nails.
I am very keen on this, just another carrot to dangle in front of sammys mouth. No point having good halves if you don't have forwards to give the room.
up tom burgess would be a great signing along, chuck him a pay rise and he'll be on his way joining his brother luke
I really rate Tom, I think he could be anything. He will be awesome at Manly - let's hope it comes off.
