Tomkins was injured/required surgery when he arrived for his second spell. Then he broke his foot which iirc needed further surgery.

Re: George Burges
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Lets be honest after Tomkins gate he needed to go, only difference was Sam new to stop when he saw the camera.josie andrews wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 11:52 pmMe too!fozzieskem wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 1:30 pmThat he left after finally finding the form we all know he’s capable of still annoys me to this day
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

He broke his foot while on a drunken night out. He may had started playing ok (though clearly not a patch on the pre NRL version who could run fast), but we were right to cut our losses.

Re: George Burges
Back to the original blog - is there any news on whether George is actually having an operation or not? Finding a solution to George's situation is for me the key to being in a position to win the final rather than just go close again next season. I'm really hoping for some positive news one way or the other before Christmas.
Re: George Burges
If you take in to account all the years he played for us, think we more than got our monies worth out of Sam.josie andrews wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 11:52 pmMe too!fozzieskem wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 1:30 pmThat he left after finally finding the form we all know he’s capable of still annoys me to this day

Re: George Burges
i suppose some will see it as he was outstanding in his first stint before leaving early after signing a 5 year contract.jobo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 16, 2020 7:28 pmIf you take in to account all the years he played for us, think we more than got our monies worth out of Sam.josie andrews wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 11:52 pmMe too!fozzieskem wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 1:30 pm

when he returned through injury and then self inflicted injury, we never saw anything like his 1st spell, and probably cost us a lot more for a lot less?
