Burgess leaves Bath

[Scubby]

The timing of this is superb. Couldn't be better.

Imagine if he was involved in some sort of pre-match presentation/half time raffle on Saturday. You'd hear the cheer in Sydney.

[Tonka]

Does this mean we can talk about him on here again?

 

Well either he's going to take 2 years to be back up to speed, orrrrrrrr he should be on the bench for the third test against the Kiwis.

94 pages was pretty good over on the cross code forum though.. time to put that one to bed.

Just a shame it will get far more coverage than a (potential) series win v NZ at the Olympic Stadium live on the BBC would.

Mike Ford makes Comical Ali look plausible.

Great news, now prepare for the failure tag and unnecessary garbage written and spoken about him from the usual imbeciles.

Maybe it'll get more people interested in Saturday's match. Not everything in RL is a negative.

Is that the same guy as Baghdad bob?

[londonrlfan]

If he fancies a real challenge, come on down to London son

[Rhinofan91]

Even though it might have only been a pipe dream I'm gutted he's not coming to Leeds. Glad to have him back though.

[LeeF]

That's his career break/ holiday over

This should be all over talksport with durham&gough at 4.00pm. They usually ask for people to phone in, could be good fun as Durham is a league fan and a bit of a union basher.

"BBC Radio 5 live's rugby union correspondent Alastair Eykyn says his departure is a huge loss for the sport."

 

And it's a huge boost for RL, they have shot themselves in the foot and they know it.

 

Sam's prison sentence is over, welcome back Sam to TGG.

I'd have thought it'll come up - Steve McNamara is a guest tonight according to Twitter!

Brilliant news. England Rugby League getting stronger for 2016 Four Nations with, hopefully, Sam and George joining Tom in the squad.

Apparently McNamara is on at 4.45 on talk sport should be a good listen

[weloveyouwakefield2]

It was my tweet to him about Thomas Burgess being the best forward in world rugby that swung it ! He wants to prove it wrong

[CiderWire]

Light the bonfires, let the bells ring.

[Auntie Linzi Morris]

I wonder whether this means Souths will have to ship out a couple or more players due to Salary Cap constraints?

[CiderWire]

As the OP I'd be happy to sanction that ; )

We'll happily take Inglis!

It's the only show I listen too on talksport. The rest are just idiots and gobsh#tes who talk football 24/7.

[St Reatham]

Apparently, could be on a contract at Souths of £700k per year.
