Leeds declaring their interest in signing Sam Burgess is like me declaring my interest in a romantic weekend with Rachel Riley.



Both are not happening anytime soon.

Simple math equation to get the right answer to both. Beer + time.



Never give up on your dream!

id love him to go straight in the england squad, if only for marketing purposes, but the lad needs a break for a while.

Good question stranger things have happened non more so than how the tide is now turning, BBC Radio Five's Alastair Eykyn saying Burgess is a great loss to the sport having all the tools to become a fantastic player in union, but now we will never know.



Burgess was never given a fair chance he had far to many detractors, Unions loss.

Newsflash from Headingley



Leeds pack next year will include

Lee Mossop, Darryl Clark, Sam Burgess and Joe Westerman.

Let's see your laughing when Clark joins us in 2017 that's why Beau Fallon has only signs a 1 year.

dont forget they had also made a bid for Mickey Mac (to play as interchange with Clark or instead of, I cant remember which..!!)

And Ryan Brierley was another member of the "nailed on" club.



if it was another clubs fans making these claims they be laughed out till boxing day.... but we have to sit back and say "Aye well you're treble winners you're right... why would players want to play for our crappy clubs... come take as many as you want"

Seriously? Over the last few years Warrington fans on this very board have stated that the likes of Jonathan Thurston, Paul Gallen etc are genuine targets for your club.



These Sam Burgess to Leeds rumours weren't the made up pipe dream of a day dreaming Leeds fan. Bookies, journalists, broadcasters etc all reported that there was a possibility it was on the cards. IIRC it was one of the big bookmakers who first generated the possibility after stopping taking bets on Burgess to Leeds. I can't see how it's done Leeds any harm on a global scale either, quite the opposite, the clubs been seen internationally to be a major player, although realistically we (UK RL fans) know that this isn't really possible due to our comparatively lower salary cap.

stupid a gullible award of the year goes to......



yea, we all thought we were signing thurston and gallen at their prime... no we really did.



think you need to go and smell the fear with sgt wilko

anyway, apart from the leeds fans tears and feet stomping....



its a great day for rugby league.... im very happy sam burgess has come back to our sport.



i tweeted Brain Moore and told him Burgess was too good for union after he had a pop at him.. he RT me and ive been getting loads of abuse of union fans.... best day on the internet in ages for me.

Think you've missed the point. I think most Leeds fans didn't think we were going to sign him. Maybe you need to re-read my post, it wasn't Leeds fans reporting the story.

no, i didnt need to re-read it.... you tried to laugh at us for thinking we could sign thurston and gallen, when we all know it was message board humour.



its ok, ive seen the posts on the leeds board saying you are signing burgess.



anyway.. got to go... im off for a meal with Rachel Riley xx
