Sam Burgess is a unique chap, there aren't many players who can boast is athletic ability as well as the desire and attitude that he possesses. He is the heart and soul of the Rabbitohs because he always shows up - the Rabbitohs always show up. There is only one player who can rival the size and mobility of Burgess, a certain Sonny Bill Williams and these guys have the unique advantage of being able to not only put themselves in positions that big forwards rarely find themselves in bit also offering a unique skill set.

It's no surprise then that Burgess is trying his hand at rugby. Who knows which position he'll play, but it's hard to celebrate SBW as an athlete and ignore Burgess - he'll go alright and if he fails he can always return to rugby league.

But Sam Burgess isn't the be all and end all of the Burgess clan. Luke Burgess is perhaps the worst off, he's a decent NRL prop but hardly has the impact that Sam provides as well as the twins Tom and George. The twins are also very unique. The twins have the opportunity to be the best props in the NRL and possibly some of the best props we have ever seen.

They are both physical beasts (nude selfie jokes aside) but also have the mobility and agility that seems to have been passed down the Burgess gene pool. With both of them of the field, quick play the balls are bountiful. Through the middle of the field they use their near perfect physical gifts to do what great props do. They are big enough to steam roll, they are agile enough to use footwork late at the line to get in between defenders and they can run ... I was never really very good at science but I know that big objects moving quickly are dangerous. The Rabbitohs know that 80% of their hit ups will result in a quickish play the ball which when you have Greg Inglis, John Sutton and Adam Reynolds executing plays, means that opportunities can be created from what seems like nothing.

Close to the line, well we've seen how that goes with George an absolute weapon when attacking the try line. There are generally three outcomes - they go through and score, someone makes a desperate legs tackle and a quick play the ball occurs or four defenders wrap them up. A quick play the ball again means a great platform to attack from and if defenders pile up on either twin then the Bunnies can manipulate numbers - a hit up on the left, sweeping play to the right where numbers are stretched.

Yes, I am putting them together. While George has had much more opportunity in first grade, they are twins, they are near identical physical specimens and there is no reason to suggest that when they are both starting props for the Rabbitohs that one will shine more than the other. They are both unique athletes who have come to grips with the weekly grind of the NRL where they face beastly forward packs on the regular. They are also coming to grips well with the system of the Rabbitohs where executing your job and role perfectly is the order of the day. The Bunnies don't need or want the twins to go out and put they team on their back, being hitmen, creators and playmakers all in one. These guys know that if they get their team down the right end of the field, they will earn individual rewards and obviously more importantly their team will succeed.

You may have guessed, I've got pretty high hopes for the Burgess twins. The rest of this season will be awesome for them because Tom now looks like a regular first grader so they can spend more time playing alongside each other. Prepare to marvel at their ability next season when Sam steps out of the spotlight and it's up to these two lads to take the reigns.
