I am sure he's earning well but you have to wonder about Job satisfaction.
Is the Odsal dressing room a happy place right now.
If we're going to sign someone never mind this centre nonsense. let's break the bank for Burgess (S) as Ellis and Eastwood's replacement.

Is Sam Burgess all he's cracked up to be? I'm yet to be convinced, despite him looking really good in 2007 when he got the GB call. He was bobbins against Wigan the other week IMO, and was against us last season when we came up against him.
Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate,
The one that used to get you in bother,
But one that you could never bring yourself to hate.

If he played in a better squad, youd see the best of him.

He had an ankle injury against Wigan.
He's the best young British forward around, IMO.
Used as a 2nd rower in a dominant team he'd be devestating, IMO again.

Fair enough. I'm not saying he isn't, I just haven't seen enough of him to judge to be honest. I will not be convinced however until I've seen abit more with my own eyes. Personally I'm a big fan of Hock as the best Britsh backrower around, despite his obvious flaws.
