BURGESS BIDDING FOR NRL RETURN

Former premiership-winning Rabbitohs prop George Burgess is bidding to make an NRL comeback after a successful hip surgery.

The 29-year-old twin brother of Souths prop Tom and sibling of former skipper Sam has not played since a hip injury ended his eight-game stint with Wigan in 2020.

However, Channel Nine’s Danny Weidler reported Burgess is looking to live outside of Sydney making a reunion with the Rabbitohs unlikely, with the Dragons early frontrunners for his signature.

“George Burgess is looking at an NRL comeback - not after big dollars,” Weidler tweeted.

“He feels incredible after hip surgery. Looking at living outside of Sydney. Hearing of an informal discussion with the Dragons.”

Burgess last featured in the NRL in 2019, playing the last 13 of his 149 games for South Sydney before moving home to the UK.

Burgess debuted for the Rabbitohs in 2012 and was a member of their premiership-winning side in 2014.

The Dragons desperately need to bolster their pack after fading from the top four in Round 5 to lose six of their last seven games.

That’s 2 players the Rabbitohs have medically retired only for them to continue playing once the dust settles. There needs to be an investigation into this

Why could he not have concentrated on rehab etc in England and stay with Wigan.....you get a bit nervous on the mutual consent thing.

Yeah but he did spend his first 20 years living there and the last year and a half back there...

he would want to be here because his homies and brothers and mum live here. it is understandable.

by 'living outside of sydney' usually means 'by the beach', but if not and he wants silverdale or mountain life then he could end up at Penrith.
