Sam Burgess snub for BBC Sports Personality of the Year is a joke....

union internationals are incredibly gym fit. what happens on the pitch is another matter.

It will be interesting to see how quickly his fitness levels drop off with the limited intensity of training and ball to hand time including tackling with that compared to his time at Souths.
Backs tend to stand around doing nothing in Yawnion, more so when scrums are set and re-set and line outs formed etc.
I wonder also if Burgess will learn how to kick a rugby ball, I just cant imagine how he will adapt to the boredom of the sport considering how much intensity he afforded whilst playing League.

To be fair the conditioning in Union is much better than it was, and I think sam wouldn't let himself get unfit he seems like a driven man

I agree WF, he is a well motivated person, but do you think the training regime at Bath will be anywhere near as intense as it is at Souths?
I honestly cant see it.
I also can't see Sam being allowed to take up the ball anywhere near as much as he has in the NRL, which will again lower his match fitness levels.
Will be interesting to see how he goes nevertgeless.
Menpond is definitely fixated on body size.

maybe squirrel doesn`t have a personality that is why he was snubbed.

Well, the guy that won it has the personality of a peanut, and couldn't you just slap that silly grin off his face.

Think I'd have a silly grin on my face all the time if I was waking up with Nicole Scherzinger at my side.
