Sam's best position is and will always be prop. If sticks to play that role he can bring back in to our game the long lost art of a ball playing prop.

Disagree, he doesn't want to get involved in the hard graft so what's the point in playing him at prop? Prop may be a better position for him later on in his career as he slows down, matures and hardens up, but he hasn't got it in him at the moment to do the mixing in the middle of the park.

So why was he our top metre maker in the first half of the season when playing prop.

Because regardless of what position he's playing in when the teams under pressure they give the ball to Burgess on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd play the ball.

But that's got nothing at all to with the original point or in fact it could shoot it out of the water even more.

Its a real shame that Bradford aren't in the play-offs this season because Sammy could do with more experiences of intense games to improve him as a player
