Depressing would be an understatement for me. Burgess is the best talent I've seen in a winger for a very long time, if we lost him I'd be severely wondering what the club is doing.

I think it would more be a clear indication of where the Super League stands in the ambitions of some of our young, talented players.

Yes it is. If the club fail to keep hold of Charnley and we bring Makinson in it's the same.

Who would you class as an adequate replacement?

If Charnley leaves this off season (which I don't think he will) then Manfredi is a perfectly capable replacement IMO. He's nowhere near the same level at the moment but he's excellent for his age and could develop into a top quality winger.

Failing to keep hold is not shipping out. So yes, its not the same thing.

Oh FFS, I bet you argue with yourself in the mirror when you're drunk.

Manfredi is only 2 years younger than Charnley. 2 years ago Charnley scored 36 tries and 75 goals in his second proper season. Dom has some catching up to do.

To be fair to Manfredi whilst he does have some catching up to do he hasn't had the opportunities that were presented to Charnley.

If one of our wingers does move on I expect Dom will be given the chance to stake a claim to a first team shirt. Next year he needs to be out on loan to another SL club playing regularly, assuming our wingers don't move on in 2015.

Manfredi must have an excellent record at first team level in his limited chances to date.

I wouldn't have an issue with him being a first choice winger if needed.

What do you guys think about Taylor moving to us or will he stay with you. Seems to have gone a bit quite about him
