Sam Burgess is a great player but at the moment he is playing in a struggling Bradford side and being moved from position to position each week. i think he is relied upon by Bradford to get through a lot of work and be their main man. Give the guy some stability and take some pressure off him he would be a world class player IMO.
LMS is brilliant and we should really be pushing to get him signed up for 2011. I don't rate Luke Burgess as highly as others but he is still a good player, plays under his brothers shadow a bit. I am pretty sure you are right when you say Ferriol signed an extension with Catalans, he would do really well at Wigan but would look even better with a world class prop to start along side
He's playing well in all those positions and atm, he's only playing SR & LF, and he's looking world class in some games aswell. Lynch is the one relied upon to get through alot of work.

He's over 18 stone already is Burgess and he's already lost some of his mobilty and agilty in my opnion after being bulked up to play prop this season. Prop isn't his best position and in my books waste his best asset which is his wide running.

Yeah I've noticed he's slowed down tremendously don't whether that's down to weight gain or perhaps injury, would be interested to hear how many minutes he's doing seem to recall he was doing the full 80 minutes last year in most matches certainly would love him at Wigan sadly wasted at Bradford.

He's doing about 65 - 70 minutes each game, the same as last year before his injury. Why is he wasted at Bradford?

Personally I think the clubs on a downward spiral that it may not recover from the new ground may save them if it ever materializes, perhaps a little rich coming from a Wigan fan but there you go.

You never know, people said there was no chance we would try to sign Long, but we did make a bid, IL is a big fan of Terry.
