Footage: Minichiello and Burgess

[John Corey]

The guy is a lot bigger than I thought. The perfect physique for a winger.
That big and that fast, I doubt he will be playing for Wyong.

TBH I'm a little surprised that most if not all of the comments on here about 'Phil' Burgess are positive, considering opinions were less so in other threads. Perhaps the majority just don't see him as a fullback but are happy with what they see as a winger...

I still maintain that as we do not have a fg fullback for 2016, Robbo should really be looking at 'Phil' as a real possibility. No disruption to the front 12, SKD & Toupo there to help out...
Defensively he might be a liability?, organising D from the back might be lacking but do any of the others options have these aspects covered?

I still say he is a reserve grader. Should do well for Wyong.

Yeah, Slime Ankle can do that sort of stuff. Still, Wyong will be pretty awesome with him and Slime Ankle trying to getplaces in 1st grade.

[Rooster_6]

Plays right wing and it suits his natural right arm carry.

Plays on the lelft wing and it suits his brutal right arm fend.

Either or I think he'll do fine. Really like our depth in the backs this year. Joseph Manu, Joe Burgess & Latrell Mitchell are all extremely exciting prospects.

Well, I can't see an English international hanging around for too long playing for Wyong. We must have signed him so that he can work on his tan this Christmas.

[Thirteen]

I like pretty much like everything about the kid except his name.

Agree. We need to call him something else.

[The Sack]

Joe Burgess will go very well for the Roosters. People who suggest otherwise have no idea about the game.

[ism22]

TBH most of Joe's tries in that are ones where there's a massive overlap, somebody does a cutout pass to the winger and he scores. This is all while we hear music that sounds like it comes from Sonic the Hedgehog.

At least that's better than playing some sh177y gangsta rap about some upper-class black guy living in Brooklyn (which is like Paddington/Surry Hills but about 10x richer), having 'one shot [at fame]' (when he's already as famous as Justin Beebs), doing drugs as if he's some big time dealer (when his biggest feat was getting a roadie to find some weed... just so he could fit in) or telling us about banging some chick (dude that sh!7 is private, I dun wanna know about your ugly tattoo'ed @rse raping some biatch).

Seriously, people making youtube mashups need to stop putting music over footy vids.

[Johnny Tobin]

Toups has been playing on the wrong side all this time. Now is a good time to change that.
