Burgess back a $ouffs

[Pass the Ball]

Sam must think it is so sweet that there are Easts fans here concerned that he could have taken a better offer somewhere other than Souths...

[Cockadoodledoo]

According to Rothfield (who at least knows what is going on at the Sharks), Burgess was offered one of the biggest deals in NRL history to play for Cronulla. Clearly, Sam isn't interested in money, just the honour of wearing the red and green, so there is no cap issue here.

Where would the Sharks find cap space for Burgess? They would have less room than Souths.

Good question, but that's what the Great Beetroot claims. The Sharks did release Nathan Stapleton in 2014.

Maybe they were hoping the nrl was about to tell them it was finally their turn to win a comp.
And they released Arona.

Up up Cronulla.

I personally don't think anyone in the real know at Cronulla would be talking to Rothfield about recruitment & retention, he probably heard it from some other would be who heard it from some other fool.

If they were available to purchase I would buy one right now.

The Cronulla Burgess thing is interesting if true.

They're getting warmer but need to significantly improve their pack. The Cows forwards made them look like park footballers in their week 2 finals game.You gotta lol at 110kg baffle gates.

Burgess may have been exactly what they needed.

Miles and Taupau would note have been cheap either.

Indeed.

I would have thought their cap would be stretched as far as it could go right now.

They would have to move on some players. Matai probably being one considering you can't have three centres. There's been talk of Lawrence also being released.
