Burgess will be getting a release from the last year of his Souths contract to play Rugby Union in 2015

Good luck grub , can't ee where he will fit in a Union side

Not tall enough as a second rower and not mobile enough as a flanker or lock
 
Good riddance, grub. No more squirrel grips, eye gouges or cheap high shots.

This does leave the door way open for the Bunnies to make a huge play for Fifita. The $1mil 'transfer fee' is a massive help for Souths.
 
Poor Souffs fan will be miserable if they can't win the competition this year. He provides so much to their forward pack.

i think the poms are looking to play him in a similar role to sbw at perhaps inside centre rather than as a forward. anyway good riddance
 
I hope channel 9 will still show us burgess family photos and life story before every souths game. I really enjoy seeing endless shots of mumma burgi in the stands. It's a big loss to the NRL and also the viewing public.

Oh to even contemplate making a GF…let alone winning it.

Poor souffs fans

:unamused:
 
Massive loss …. It's make or break for Souths this season. I can't see them making the GF let alone winning it. Warriors and Roosters the teams to beat this year .... I think the Warriors are a big hope this season.
 
Aren't Souths going to receive a million dollars from the transfer fee? They'll probably replace him with Fifita as well. They're not exactly coming out of this second best

Bingo. They'll make money and score another decent signing. Hardly a bad business move on their part.

if the transfer fee is a player payment, shouldn't it be included in the Salary Cap?

Only when the club is paying the transfer fee.

Yeah but they can only stick the amount of his salary cap contract in to the salary cap coffers

The rest would go to the club
