Sam Burgess

Burgess = overrated bum.

Ironic

Get back behind your keyboard and dream that you could ever achieve anything that anyone might recognise.

Take your own advice Ck.

Never said he wasn't a good player - it's my opinion he is way overrated and over hyped.
Also wasn't a rant about about his personality , or calling him 'a cancer' which prompted me to write the piece you quoted .
Slightly different context - and unfortunately I have more to do in life than to trawl back through every thread trying to find where I might have written it originally.
Some people obviously don't.

Ahh the moral high horse defence.

Your contradiction is there in black and white. I'm sure you'd have said the same thing if someone just called Farah overrated, for no other reason than your emotional attachment.

I actually do have a moral high horse - and giving an opinion that someone is overrated doesn't come close to calling someone a cancer.
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion on Farah's playing ability.
Calling someone a 'cancer' without knowing anything about them goes over the line for me - hence my (at that time) rather angry retort.
I'll happily stay on my high horse.

[Russell]

Ooooooh! it's going to be a long off season.
So that I am on topic…. Sam Burgess.

LOL

When Burgess left in 2014 he was one of the best players in the world. Good to see him back.

I haven't checked out his arse, so will take your word on it CK. Quite a footy player though.

:laughing:

 

[stryker]

Had his contract blocked by the NRL

Had his contract blocked by the NRL

Probably why the Walker to Manly deal has been fast tracked I noticed

 

[Geo]

Souff's will find a way…

Walker released last night, Manly magically have the money to sign him. How are they not under the microscope?

Myles, Taupau, DCE, Lyon, Matai, Stewart would all be on huge coin. Koroisau, Brown, Buhrer, Hiku, Lawrence, Lussick, Mateo, Symonds and Taufua would all be on good money too I'd imagine.

 

[happy_tiger]

I wonder if the actual people / companies involved in providing TPA's are actually interviewed by the NRL ??

It is pretty well known that clubs organize the TPA's in most situations , not player managers ,just a massive ruse

Actually doing random interviews might catch them out

It would be almost tolerable if the rorting clubs weren't spoken of all year as iconic 'manufacturers' of football genius…

Hearing commentators crap on about "teams like the Broncos and Manly etc " with such reverence...

These teams manufacture nothing but a benchmark for playing the real game - the TPA game...

Apparently Grevsmuhl is now being shopped around. I'd have him in a second, though I doubt we'd be in contention.

They obviously need to get rid of a forward to afford him. McQueen failed and they can't get rid of a Burgess bro. Sutton must be next in line.

 

[happy_tiger]

I suppose you could wonder when all these deals are going through and the same clubs seem to come up whether they are purposely trying to keep themselves strong and keeping the others down

Any chance these clubs are involved in under the tables deals ??

Heard Grebsmuhl is off to Penrith, McQueen isn't going there anymore.
