George Burgess signs with Dragons

[bradtalo]

They say he's signed for 2 years on minimum wage with incentives.

I thought we should have looked at him for a similar deal actually as we need size in the forwards.

We didn’t want him

 

[Kempsey Dog]

I mentioned him a while back as a cheap option for some size and power, plus a pommy to make Thommos life easier ... But it was a unanimous no

 

[Bitemarks]

No need for an off brand Souths reject.

 

[Dannyboi88]

Sucking hook off is a incentive after training

This has been in the wind for a while, from June 3 of this year - NRL news, 2021: Former South Sydney Rabbitohs star George Burgess confirms interest in comeback with St George Illawarra Dragons (nine.com.au)

Cant go wrong with a player on minimum wage imo..

great signing for minimum wage, very smart by the dragons

He didn't go too bad against us in the 2014 Grand Final did he ? Made T-Rex look like She-Rex when he scored that try.

We need big body props badly. He's huge at 6"3 and 120kgs. We'll likely have to get 1-2 from Regies as back ups for our top 30. The Dragons already have heaps of forwards, this has been in the media for a while so everyone was aware of his availability and we let it slip by us ? We could have had Burgess, TPJ and Vaughan.

Vaughan was their trump card there. They had to replace him with someone and got a cheaper option. Cleared from reports 800k from the cap and signed Bargeass for probably a lot less than 50% of that.

Smart move from dragons

And why is that?

 

[Moedogg]

To this day I have no idea which one is which. Was he the one who fended off Trex in the 2014 GF?

 

[BELMORE]

And why is that?

He’s horse shit

He’s horse shit

Is that your opinion or the clubs

 

[Nasheed]

Another one missed
At min wage he would have been unbelievable if simply viewed as depth.

 

[senshidog]

Strange signing. His hips stuffed. Had it operated on earlier this year but doubt he'll be the same.

 

[True Blue]

I would prefer Tom B personally.....playing quite well with the Bunnies at the moment but probably not averaging much more than 40 mins a game. Good strong running, which we need. However, there is no chance of picking up Tom for Minimum wage. George has been off the NRL scene for a couple of years and it might be a difficult re-introduction for him.

 

[Haddaway]

He was looking shit at the end of his Souths career. Then he goes to England where good players who are on the way down go to retire and then he does his hips.

Now that huge lump after having hip surgery is coming to play in the fastest NRL comp ever? Lol

The Kennel would melt down if we signed someone like that lol.
