Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2711504, member: 8215"] [b]Re: Pom Flees from Bath - Sam Burgess signs 3 year deal with South Sydney[/b] We also lost a lot of players to accommodate those signings, they were each tit-for-tat. The only club so far able to sign a million-dollar player and not lose much is the Roosters. Burgess is a player you build a team around. He's worth the money. He's one of the few that has no peer when it comes to the talents that he can put together in one humanly body. He only has two downsides - one, he's somewhat injury prone. And two, he has shocking hands just like his brothers. Get him on song at the right time of the year and he's worth his price tag. In saying that, Souths have really only had Inglis and Walker as elite outside backs. They've had speedy wingers that can finish other people's work (and you can even count Walker in that category if you're a bit harsh), but they've had to make do with Reddy, Goodwin, Tuqiri, etc in 2 or 3 positions per week. With their forwards, they're going to be able to easily compress teams in the middle and and set up room for the backs. Without Walker, I'm not sure they'll have the talent to make the most of that any more. [/QUOTE]
