Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

Would he be fit enough for Rugby League

Whilst I'm of the firm belief he would have been a success at blindside flanker in Union, our sport needs him back more than they do. However, no I wouldn't subject him to the intensity of NZ test match straight away, for two reasons:
1) He's not had a break and by the looks of entire England World Cup squad, the's done too much conditioning. So he's probably in serious need of a break, regardless of how we perceive the rigours on inside centre.
2) Even taking into consideration his natural strength, he looks to have lost some muscle mass. Like Wane pointed out when Joel Tomkins returned, even Burgess will require some rebuilding.
That said, he's Sam Burgess, so it's possible he could smash into them like only Sam does, but I don't think South's would be happy if he got injured.
