Burgess to Wigan. He's not even on marquee money.

For the first year according to rumour control. Got to assume O'Loughlin is going round one more time if that's the case and expect Burgess to get his money from 2021.

Wigan Today reports he will be 2nd marquee after Hastings.

George Burgess, another signing we have missed out on. If we do stay up we’re gunna be a long way off next year.

I posted this on the Wigan forum

George Burgess will be a great signing for you guys if his body is still up to the rigours of footy, as some pundits over in OZ reckon that his body is shot and that he is only capable of 20 minute spells, is this why Souths wanted shut and why no NRL club picked him up?

Time will tell how good he will be but IMO he is a massive upgrade on your current front rowers

I would have loved him at the Rhinos tbh and I would have taken the risk on him

But IMO our greater needs lye elsewhere and we urgently need a very good 7 as our main priority for 2020 or at worst 2021
Time will tell how good George Burgess will be for Wigan
IMO Souths will be targeting Luke Thompson as his replacement and that is a big upgrade as he is the best prop in SL by a mile

I don't think he's even the best prop at Saints, nevermind SL.

He'd be sensational in the NRL IMO
Time will tell charlie

Third best Burgess at Wigan spending most of the time at LS17 8NB.

No thanks. We've enough with Merrin, Ava and Martin.

Let's get first class halves and wingers who aren't headless chickens.

Furner to return home to Oz on monday after reaching a settlement with the club.

New coach now then please.

Agreed Walmsley is better, but both are quality, that’s why Saints are top of Super League.
