The Sun? So this is another Dave "Nosey" Parker exclusive then is it?

Not enough salt in the Siberian salt mines to take this one with.

Yes Kal should go for shed loads of money. But he better be prepared to take the blame for the next England RU shambles when they once again prove not to be able to compete with top world class sides like Wales 2nd 15's.

You have to admire the establishment and their media lackeys for finding a way of making links to Rugby League the reason that the England RU side are a shower of poo! Somehow Burgess was responsible for England losing a 10 point advantage against Wales 2nd 15 whilst he was on the bench...

Swap for Sam Burgess might look better.

Not sure to what extent Sam has already been ruined by his RU 'experience' would rather keep Kal primarily because he's a joy to watch, hope he really gets a chance to shine on Saturday against Wigan's wrestling thugs.

Nah I think he needs a full season in RU before being classed as ruined.
After all the press seem to think he is still a RL player that's why England failed to qualify don't you know?

I don't think they would know what to do with an "actual" RL centre. If Bath want a centre they should get down (or more accurately up) to the University where the Aussie team are based and talk to one of them.
They were in the gym the other day and signed stuff for my son and his mates who swim train there.

Fair point and anyway everyone knows all RL second rowers are in fact RU Centres in waiting and all RL centres are err..well centres

A positive side effect for RL from the focus on Burgess somehow being responsible for England's failings is that it will hopefully reduce interest in RL players. Assuming Bath work to make Burgess a forward, they'll be hard pressed to justify the salary he's been on whilst learning the game compared to any number of homegrown RU players.
