THE South Sydney Rabbitohs have signed another Burgess.

The Sydney Roosters’ English import Joe Burgess has been given permission to play the remainder of the season with South Sydney before he returns home to Wigan.
Burgess, no relation to Sam, Tom or George, joined the Roosters at the beginning of the season but has struggled to make an impression.

Joe Burgess takes a pass during Sydney Roosters training. Picture: Gregg Porteous The winger was cleared to join the Rabbitohs this morning and will train with the team from tomorrow.
The Rabbitohs will release a statement later this afternoon to confirm the signing.

Strange arrangement if you ask me. Burgess is not close to first grade material but for some reason Souths want him?! If we had a good season with injuries I doubt he would have even been considered for first grade.

They are a Burgess short of a premiership.

Because Dane Nielson is embarrassingly shit.

They have no wingers / outside backs not much coming through

Lol .. a Burgess-athon at the vermin. Does this mean we get Keary before June 30?

That's what happens when you shed all your players to sign Sam Burgess. He's been nearly as big a dud for them as what DCE has been for Manly

As I said on Twitter a few days ago - I have felt bad laughing at him at the roosters, but at Souffs......oh, my ribs. Great news.

My reaction is why help out Souffs? Burgess plays for Wyong and we will use him thank you!!!

Braith Anasta's Wallet would not be surprised to see Joe Burgess perform well for the South Sydney Rabbitohs unfortunately.
