great news for rugby league. Its brilliant to have him back. Probably the best forward in the game before he switched codes.

I just hope that his time in union hasn't blunted his skills.

Slightly bizarre I know, but the radio earlier tonight said Sam was flying out to Australia on Saturday. Saturday is also the date that ITV flies out the celebrities to Australia for this years "I'm a celebrity".

You don't think he'd do that?

Some NRL clubs are back in pre season. He has a lot of work to do to get his athleticism back to be ready for nrl, he'll be back into pre season with Rabbitohs in next week.






WEST COAST PIRATES
NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......

There will be low end earner squad filling movement I can agree.

Teams with genuine space are probably the Raiders and Titans, and other teams nobody who's any good really wants to play for.

If Souths had the space they would sign Burgess, they might off load a player like Walker to make space but only coz they want rid due to the drugs, Penrith could be a club looking for players but Idris is gone due to issues. Gould and Penrith are all about building culture so Walker is probably off their radar.

At this stage Souths have got to clear some space quick without wrecking their squad. People have missed the elephant in the room which is Burgess and Madge don't like each other. The word is a lot of those blokes are playing for Crowe not Madge.

I don't think it's as straight forward as you do.


Turns out it was.

Madge and Sam were texting each other during the grand final, must hate each other.

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

Rabbitohs head coach Michael Maguire said he "could not be happier to see Sam coming home to the Rabbitohs".

"He had an enormously positive impact on our club, both on and off the field, throughout the five seasons he was here, and to be bringing back one of the game's most dominant players is fantastic for not only our club, but the game itself," added Maguire.

And on Radio 2 the quotes were around "no blame attached for England's lack of success on Burgess" in what I could describe as a sarcastic tone followed by "“But with his return to rugby league we’ve reached one of the all-time lows and most embarrassing points in English rugby history."

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/n ... -rabbitohs

The way that it came over didn't seem to sound like the bashing of the RU that Woodward was giving.

As I predicted - press releases talk about Sam's family life. Good way to keep everyone looking good!

As a matter of interest, which aspect of RU was Sam unable to master? Was it the pushing, the grunting or the standing around with his hands on his hips waiting for the game to restart?






What if the hokey-cokey really is what it's all about?
