It is understood that South Sydney will not sign on George Burgess due to salary cap issues.

The three brothers (Sam, George and Tom) made their names playing together at Redfern but according to the Daily Telegraph, the Bunnies won't be able to keep George around when his contract runs out at the end of the 2019 season.

Still only 27, George is considering a return home to the English Super League.

The other two brothers have their contracts all sewn up to 2023, with Sam signing a four-year extension in September and Tom in January.

George has played 140 games since 2012 and still plays an important role in the club's push to ultimate success.

In the meantime, Souths are still waiting to hear from the NRL on what salary cap relief, if any, they'll receive from the recent retirement of star centre Greg Inglis.

Souths are hoping this can be resolved as soon as possible to allow the club to look at finding a long-term replacement for GI.

Souths have been linked with several players in the past fortnight including Brisbane forward Tevita Pangai Jr.

However, the Daily Telegraph writes that well-placed Souths sources deny the club is chasing Pangai.

  1. Did you read the article?
    No way will play against Sam and Tom, thats if he goes if you believe media.
    I think Wayne suspects George will put in a big one tonight and thats why is not starting him on the bench.
    Tonight is perfect for him to make a statement about his future.

  2. hope the NRL give them nothing on Ing;lis

    He retired – not medically – cop the cap rabbit fans

    As for George Mr Mistake. – Makes to many errors, drop balls etc

  3. George will resign fact…rorters need to be audited for being over the salary cap will the nrl audit the rorters at the end of rd 26?….cmon nrl audit the rorters they are making you look the fools that you are by turning a blind eye to their rorting scamming ways by rorting the salary cap…

  4. I think ZT needs to audit you Shadow. New material required champ. Between you and Woody wood head panadol sales have soared 1500 %

  5. AHAHAHAHAHA🤣😆😂😆🤣 Steve and Syd 😇👼💞 you guys are typical souffffffs dreamers. George Burgess is leaving FULLSTOP❗❕❗ Nothing George does now will change that. Your myth that this will be an incentive to prove that he deserves a million bucks is just that a Steve and Syd myth.🤣😆😂🤣💪🐔👉—–CLOWN—-🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

  6. BS woodsook. I’ve gone to threads where you’ve posted 10 replies to yourself and no one else has posted anything. You’re a gibberer with way too much time on your hands.

  7. No the roosters need auditing they are always over the cap i am a souths member and when i pay online for my yearly family membership package we dont pay a penny more so an audit would be plain ludacris redv13…

  8. Right on cue Woodchip, fancy finding you here.
    Your obsession with the Rabbitohs feeding your rorter inferiority must drive you mad.
    You might be right Woodchip but just a little more freed up for Latrelle.

  9. Shadow you sound like a frustrated Soufs supporter. Maybe you should be aware that if you are sitting down to watch Round 26 it might only happen if your team is playing in another competition and not the NRL as there are only 25 rounds. Your hate for the Roosters can only mean that you are jealous of a team that is well managed and coached and doesn’t need to go the NRL to have Greg Inglis’ contract revoked so you can use the money to poach others….

    Further to this you can keep all the Bogus’s Brothers; they spend more time arguing with the referees especially when they drop the ball and maybe Super League (Pension Fund) is where he belongs….
