bumping up his contract price?

Yep similar to what jwh did before re signing with us.

The Sunday Telegraph's big story on Sam Burgess being *offered $2 million to play in the rugby World Cup has turned the Rabbitohs v Roosters opening- round premiership game into an even bigger grudge match.

The reason is that Souths have accused the Roosters *hierarchy of leaking the story to unsettle their club on the eve of the premiership.

The Roosters recently signed Great Britain Test coach Steve McNamara as an assistant to Trent Robinson.

Nobody has better contacts in English football circles and word quickly spread around Bondi Junction.

Roosters bosses have powerful connections in the media and corporate Sydney.

Souths boss Shane Richardson had been desperately trying to handle the very delicate negotiations ''in house''.

But the Souths v Roosters rivalry is as bitter as ever.

Roosters boss Nick Politis remains furious that actor Russell Crowe has managed to convince James Packer to become a major sponsor of the Rabbitohs - and possibly even a shareholder.

Politis is a lifelong friend of the Packer family and attended James's wedding on the French Riviera in 2007.

Merely a ploy for bigger contract. He loves all the media attention he gets in Oz, and the Footy show trying to make him a star to much to give it all away.
Although in rugby, he'd have more opportunities for squirrel gripping !

hope he does go ...good riddance to the thug !

Of course he needs to play this in the media.

He is only on $280K a season remember

[Salvatori Grubber]

Decent player but can't say he's using drugs (except petrol, which is legal bro!)

Are you for real? Hang your head, man.

Paranoid or what?!? Talk about clutching at straws

[stephenj]

im just enjoying watching their angst?

[Burnt Rooster]

Have a peep in their forum, they are paranoid, Burgess gone, McGuire gone, Inglis to follow Madge to the bronco's, Robbo in the mix to coach them, lol at that one, I had a ball reading thru the posts.

[Kingsgrove-Loiner]

They'll cheer up now ferguson has got off. They're clear faves to get him, seeing as everyone else has no cap space.....

Unless the NRL punt him to Atherton.

They would have to be the most paranoid and depressed group of supporters in any code. They had Maguire signed to three other clubs lol with them not making the eight this season and now after he resigned today they are ready to win no. 21 all of a sudden.

To them, it is only 40 years. Because that is how many fingers and toes they have. They can't count beyond that.
