thats very unusual for such detailed commentary from a club thats NOT signed someone

Maybe I didn't make it very clear, but it was an interview with Watson and Burgess rather than official comments from the clubs. I should have said 'soundbites from both camps'.

Best option for us now would be Mike McMeeken and 3 years younger than Burgess so could offer longer deal.

I really rate McMeeken as a 2nd rower, I don't know enough about him at prop.

I think Catalans used him at prop for most of last season and he played at prop for England at the back end of the season.

I think Wakey are over him as well

If we don't have more pulling power than Wakefield we may as well give up now

I think Burgess at Hudds, may have a kickstart on this season for them.
Could be that Wire finish outside of the 6. I thing 6,7,8 is where we are at.

it maybe that he's transitioning, and moving back to the wakey/cas area for after rugby.

also he knows powell

Tom Burgess has signed for Huddersfield for 2025 season, not this season.
