I don't think anyone expected him to be pulling off the same shit he was doing in England, but still a very good player.
Burgess will be a success IMO, he's got talent and talent just doesn't disappear because you're facing superior opposition. He's a winger so his transition from ESL to NRL would be the easiest of all the positions IMO.
I don't think he has too much competition either. It seems as if one of either SKD or Tupou will go, the one who stays will get one wing spot. Other candidates would be Macdonald, Milne, Burgess and Latrell, providing they don't leave or never fulfil their potential.
Elliot is an out and out centre too, he'll probably end up at the Sharks or something.
Out of all of those Burgess is the most proven, considering he's about to play test footy. However I'd say we're pretty healthily stocked for outside backs in the coming years, especially with other players like Stapleton in the squad.
