Oh dear. If this has been rumbling on for a couple of weeks it might explain a few things. We know the Aussies stick together and even those that weren't here during Maguire's time here may well side with their countrymen. If it is true and Burgess can galvanise everybody then great. If not I can see a 10 game losing streak. 
Perhaps another example of the "refer a friend" recruitment incentive. 
Ratchford - Matty Russell. 
Fitzgibbon - Yates & Stone (all Knights) 
Powell & Williams - Charnley.


I can't see us troubling Wigan or Hull KR even if we do make the play offs so would prefer to stick with the future for the rest of the year. 


So far I reckon we have named starting line ups with 6 different wingers. Ashton, Thewlis x 2, king, Lindop and that lad from Leeds RU. Charnley would be 7. That has to be some sort of record.

I just knew we’d do something ridiculous like try and get Dodd….and I’m hearing that is one line of enquiry. God we’re pathetic.

IMO he's purely used us as a well paid, stop gap, but a high salary paying club, until his family circumstances changed When George has been good then he was very good,But have we had value for money from signing him? Not IMO

Not IMO  He's done nothing wrong. Down to the club how much they pay him. But, as a marquee player, I don't think he has delivered on value. His good games are getting more scarce and he does seem to "go missing" when his good game is desperately needed. Our best performance this season (Leigh CC semi) was with him out of the side.  Wish him well but won't be losing sleep.

I think he's been one of the best players we've had in a long time, not enough quality players around him and a constant lack of forward power every single year is a big issue. We rely on him too much to drag the team along all the time.
When he does go he goes with best wishes and i hope he does well over there again.
