Also trouble is that he is regularly out due to injury, like now!

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

Maybe if he put on a little weight to add a bot more physicality to his game.

Remember a few years back when he repeatedly hammered Moi Moi? Who would have thought it!
That is the kind of enforcement our team would buzz off.
