So whats the hype about sam burgess again?

I saw nothing from him to suggest that he is going to handle the pace and physical football in the NRL.

Pretty much a dud of player.

Oh yeah lets judge someone after one game thats logical.
As mentioned above - his stats were top.

He tried his arse off all game..got several offloads away and made some good runs.

over rated
you should stop pointing fingers at other clubs' players and start looking at our guys. the fact is that this bloke would walk straight into our starting line up. He makes Stagg and g-wart look like midgets, he is an absolute handful to tackle... get your hand off it

The guys come half way across the world to test himself in the best competition and after 1 game in the NRL he is deemed over rated..

Wow...and I thought the judgements about Corey Norman were premature...from one game, people can already make claims that Burgess is overated.

This forum is always full of surprises.

Burgess showed glimpses of some great work, but also lapses. A mix between good work rate and poor error count.

I think I would reserve my personal judgement until the end of the season.

Having said that, I would take what I saw from Burgess today over the entire career of Gary Warburton anyday.

Lmao. Stupid thread. Judging someone that's playing in the NRL for the first time, off their first game. Awethome.

I never once bagged da dogz when we had pricey, big willie, reni, sbw, tonga, anasta and co. That was a formidable side. I'm all about building a team like that again. And i'll be up praising our side when we do have a side as good as that. I think that its absolutely scandalous the way a lot of kennelists belittle these guys who, btw, won the last premiership for the club.

and i;m so critical because i think it was largely management's fault that we let a possible dynasty disintegrate.

pricey went for more money, big willie decided to give us the flick to go with his mates at rorters,reni had issues and was in trouble outside of football, sbw walked out after being very well looked after by MANAGEMENT , dont know why tonga left and anasta couldnt be kept because of t he salary cap, HOW IS THAT MANAGEMENTS FAULT?? dynasty? HA tell me which of those people you mentioned have done ANYTHING since leaving, fair enough we won the premiership with them, and i thank them but after that some of their egos were bigger than the club. others we couldnt keep because of the salary cap.

He had one game of NRL against the Roosters and he just got owned by several times by nate myles
