Any idea why? Surely KR met Burgess face-to-face and understood how much trouble his hip was causing him as well?

Pointless conversation though.

Burgess hardly going to say its causing him loads of issues & the outcome isn't going to replace a medical.

Yup, and only 2 posts from me, neither of which said anything like what he/it claimed

The guy is a complete penis and he must either be related to the site admins or actually one of them. Can be the only reason why a perm ban hasnt been issued.

Glad they are on my ignore list now

You were correct in predicting Burgess being 2020 scapegoat like!

https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/the-biggest-super-league-stars-who-can-sign-for-new-clubs-from-next-week-73552/ Interesting reading and the one that jumps out to me from a potential Wigan POV is Ben Currie. I could see him easily slotting into our side.

I could see him easily slotting into our side. The pluses are that he’s a right sided second rower, he’s British and he isn’t a bad age but he’d want good money and looking at his performances over recent years, I’m not sure he’s worth it. His performances this past couple of games in particular have been really poor and when Wigan and Saints lifted the intensity, he didn’t look hugely interested in it. As a senior pro and a forward, I’d have expected him to up his workrate and cover the hard yards in the absence of their 64 props but he looked happy to coast through. I wouldn’t be totally against it and if it was good enough for Peet, it’s good enough for me but I can’t see it.

Think he’s played predominately on the left for Wire.

Good player but not a Wigan player IMO. Lacks the toughness and grit when the going gets tough.

He’ll be expensive too.

Stay clear.

Course he does, even less reason to go for him then. Somebody mentioned Bentley on the other forum and while he’s a right sider, he’s also a massive idiot and doesn’t obviously we wouldn’t go near him after the Wane incident.

Bailey Antrobus?

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Sat Apr 29, 2023 11:47 am  

Sam Eseh is a player I’d like to see us go after. 19 year old wakefield prop.

Big, athletic, aggressive and can offload. Played the full first half in the reserves game today ( still ongoing).

Looks raw but could develop in our system.

He’d be the perfect “project” prop instead of Silva, our 7th/8th prop.
