[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 693984, member: 67273"] The plan is for him to be a 6 or 8. Until he's had some in-game experience of the breakdown and got his basics down he's probably going to play 3-4 games at IC. Although he could come straight on in the back row, depending on how the game is going... he may not go on at all, of course. Interesting to note that Dave Flatman has said that Sam himself [I]wants to be a forward: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Plenty of experts declaring that Burgess has to play 12. That may be what happens, but he currently WANTS to be a forward. That's important!</p>— David Flatman (@davidflatman) <a href="https://twitter.com/davidflatman/status/538252181628284929">November 28, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> [/I]It's notable how many assertions that Burgess "has to be a 12" are preceded or followed by "Although I've only every watched his highlights" or "I've not seen him play".
