Davo5 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Taking heavy contact will be the real test but full credit to him for giving it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WN83 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It was such a shame how it worked out with us. I think he’s a lad everyone wanted to see in superleague at some point but it was actually really sad to see the shape he was in. He was physically unable to compete and that was a lad who at his best would’ve been unstoppable here. I really hope it works out for him. I don’t think he’ll ever be the old rampaging version of himself but hopefully he can have a solid few years in the NRL and maybe over here again.

Dunbar Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I wish him all the best. The George Burgess of the 2014 NRL Grand Final was almost unstoppable and set to become one of the premier front rowers in the game... just shows how luck with injuries van really shape a career.

hunsletgreenandgold Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Yeah I echo others well wishes for big George. Coming back from an injury that threatened to require him having full on hip replacements to actually play at the highest level again is some feat, however long it lasts.

Good Luck George I hope he comes good, the odds are probably not with him but I hope it works out for him. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder bigger than Uluru.

You obviously don't spend much time on her lad - its a joke as some on here think that if you play in the NRL you walk on water and SL is like Sunday league standard- sorry it went over your head.....

You may see from my Post count 42 that I do not post here that often. I have watched the Forum long before I posted. you always seem to have a chip on your shoulder about the NRL? It is no joke for someone like you, it cuts to your core. Get on with your own League and stop worrying about anything else, whether its a local Club team or a Super League team you would be better off focusing on that than worrying about Australia and the NRL and getting worked up about it. In the long run you are only damaging yourself with hate and spite and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long run you are only damaging yourself with hate and spite and such. What are you babbling on about? Chill out lad, its only a forum. However - I was a Roosters member when I used to live full time in Oz - so I love the NRL, so also have a good handle on how good SL is compared to the NRL which is the toughest comp. Never said SL is a better league marra - just maintain SL is a top comp and not a level below the NRL like some on here state. I will be at a Championship game today in the wind and rain but will be attending a few NRL games this Summer in hopefully better conditions, when I'm over in oz for 2 or 3 or so months with work - so yes, I'll "get on with my own leagues" - cheers.
