Appears to be a "done deal" he is returning to Souths
Brad Walter, Sydney Morning Herald rugby league reporter, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live: "Moves are well advanced for a return to the Rabbitohs. The only obstacle standing in the way now is Mike Ford, who wants him to remain in rugby union and is reluctant to release him but the expectation is that will be resolved within days.
"South Sydney and NRL have paved the way for the Rabbitohs to pay a transfer fee to Bath that would not go into their salary cap.
"He is a hero at the Rabbitohs. Winning the title in 2014 was a fairytale story. His brothers George and Thomas have re-signed with the club until the end of 2018, his fiancée is Australian, his entire family live in Sydney.
"South Sydney fans and NRL fans feel he was not given a fair go in rugby union. They feel he was on a hiding to nothing and made a scapegoat of England's failure at the World Cup."

I stated thIs on Twitter, that he has already completed negotiations with Souths
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

Had one on facebook t'other night rattling on and on for hours, i kept asking him for his proof, he had none, but he knew it was happening for sure and i would have to wait for the announcement, i carried on asking him and wound it on a little to the point where he saw his arse and typed a load of stuff about Sam Tompkins, when i told him i wasn't a fan of either Burgess or Tomkins he called me a weirdo and stopped replying
