Well, yeah, but if Burgess is desirable to the Roosters now, he's hardly likely to be less desirable to them if it was left for another twelve months.
Why not? They could sign someone else, he could get a bad injury or lose form. Look at Shaun Ainscough, he scored 17 tries in 17 games in his first season, including 16 tries in his first 10 games. After that he only got 1 more game in the first team, his career went massively downhill and now he's a part timer at Batley. I'm not saying that will happen to Burgess but it shows how quickly a youngster can go from hero to almost zero (no disrespect meant to Ainscough there)
