He knew what was coming so he ‘retired’ with seconds to go. Im thinking Crowe and Fatcho encouraged him to retire before they had a player in their ranks on charges.

How poetic that souffs 'greats' Inglis, Sutton and Burgess all retire the same year they see us go back to back and cronk getting the fairy tale finish

Was only a few days ago Greenberg described him as an ornament to the game. He was a fantastic player and competitor but at the same time he was a complete grub on and off the field.
His on and off field record would read a hell of a lot worse than it already does if the NRL and media had subjected him to the same rules and scrutiny that others have faced.
No way shoulder injury could be described as new but no doubt Todd will make sure Souths and Sammy are looked after. Remember...When Souths are strongl, Rugby League is strong... gag, gag.

The NRL has lost one of it's biggest characters early.... and it will be better for it.

Just hope Souffs don't use this cap space to get Latrell. Surely they target a forward first right?

Get off the fence.

But I'm with Mickie. SB had a sneaky grubby element in his game, which caused him more strife than it was worth but he was one of those forwards who could win you a game in attack and in defence. Plus he was clever, sometimes in a sneaky grubby way (e.g. that fateful tackle on Cronk in the prelim last year took an awful lot of skill and timing to execute without being penalised).

When all's said and done, you don't want the good players to have to retire before their time (although the NRL might want to have a look at the domestic charges and see if they partly caused the decision).

What fence Zac? I thought I was pretty clear with my view.

They've also got their eyes on Frizell and Arrow reportedly.

Yeah - just my sense of humour.

[Mickie Lane]

Screw your Mickie. Burgess is a grub on and off the field. Just ask his wife. He should be deported back to where he comes from.

No I dont want to have sex with you Thirteen because it could ruin our friendship.

What’s the lure? To be coached by a has been fossil?

[Thirteen]

Never allow sex to get in the way of a good friendship.

Oh sarcasm! Sorry mate I was a bit slow on the uptake of this one.

[Mickie Lane]

I will say my dislike for Bargearse was not so much his on field dirtiness or off field peccadilloes....it was the super romantic love from the media he received, particularly Channel 9. Vomitron.

So you liked Sam but you didnt like how channel 9 liked him.Fair enough.

I don’t think Souths need Latrell right now. They probably need some more forwards and some more capable bench players to replace players like Nichols

You're having visions mate...I have never said I liked or even admired the big lug.
