Time will tell and good luck to him, hopefully he will return. He can have 5 or 6 years out, Catalan will have a spot for him then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember them linked with a new prop, providing Burgess left/retired but I can’t remember who that was, whether they signed him or anyone else. I think the short answer is ... No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moley on Twitter is suggesting they're having a look who NRL clubs might be looking to offload, but with the season starting down there in a few weeks, most have locked in their squads already. Might be some fringe NRL players they could bring in but overall I reckon Wigan will be pretty happy with the squad they've got, bearing in mind (and no disrespect intended) they're hardly going to miss Burgess based on how little he played last year and still nearly won the comp + Bateman.

With Burgess,Flower and hopefully Clark gone & Clubb struggling to stay fit we are lacking a bit of experience & grunt up front,but like you say not much talent left unsigned at this late stage.

Shouldn’t be allowed in my opinion. The club should be responsible and look after him through his rehabilitation. He wants the sunshine of Sydney while lays up mate.....

BrisbaneRhino Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Of course there's talent available at this late stage. Leeds managed to sign a Fijian international no less, with a massive 5 appearances (140 minutes) in first grade. He's not really a full size prop and might not have got a game last year except for COVID, but don't you dare suggest he's not going to be brilliant. Sad for George. He was incredibly dynamic when he first hit the NRL. Its hard to see him coming back, but I hope he does - never want to see players forced to retire early.
