I think Burgess has made good progress this year and is easily one of the best Props of his age in SL IMO. In the last couple of months he seems to have cut out some of the errors and is doing longer minutes. I'd like to hold onto him if possible, seems unlikely though.

Exactly! Couldn't have put it better myself.

Needs to lose weight and play longer than 5 mins without blowing out of his

Butt

Depends whether he wants to play or watch. As far as I know George hasn't played for Souths yet. The lifestyle mat be great but they won't keep you for ever with no return. By the way is there any limit in Oz on overseas players as that would give Souths four from the same family

George played last week and in today's game against the Roosters. He did not look out of place. Luke is playing regularly and seems to be a better player than when he was at the Rhinos. As I mentioned earlier, Sam was the man of the match.

George has made his 1st grade debut at Souths too.

To be fair George debuted a few weeks ago.



He has been in reserve grade where last year he was powerful but made a few mistakes. This season he's been carving it up there and has on a couple of occasions played U20s, where, he absolutely killed the opposition. So they deemed it a bit silly to play against other kids.

Sam looked absolutely superb as always. Luke looked a workaday player. George, when he came on, looked a monster, but his impact seems to restricted to hit-ups, whereas Sam is just a bloody phenomenon, played for 80 and was just immense all round but in particular his tackling stint was superhuman.



Tom has got potential class written all over him. Of course he's far from the finished article, but you only have to watch him take the ball up to see he's an exceptional prospect.

When George left Bradford were they similar in development or was one of the twins better in some areas?

I think the perception was that George was slightly ahead, but that Tom has come on more quickly through playing first grade rugby.



Personally, I suspect that Tom has already decided to go to Souths, and quite likely a deal has already been agreed. I'm resigned to the fact that he'll leave at the end of the season, much as I'd like him to stay.

Hehe - put a smile on my face

Oy you two pseudo stattos!!! The only thing worse than statistics is pseudo statistics. definition of pseudo statistics. figures that are picked out of the air and blown out of a butt.

Cheers, it could be interesting to see how far apart they are next season.



Maguire seems to have a great talent at aiding the development of young forwards.
