Burgess says 'Jet' won't crash and burn again at Redfern

Sam Burgess has revealed he was in regular contact with James Roberts before he signed with South Sydney, and says he is confident the speedster won’t be a liability for the Redfern club.


Souths also have no plans to enforce a booze ban on the man known as the “Jet”, despite unflattering images of an intoxicated Roberts being carried out of a party in Brisbane a couple of months ago.

As the 26-year-old prepares to play for Souths this Friday against Newcastle, 2840 days since he last pulled on the red and green, Burgess told The Sun-Herald: “He strengthens the team, he came on a lot less money than what he’s probably worth on the market, which says a lot about him, and he’s a Souths junior.


“The culture here is strong enough and I’m not worried about James [being a liability]. I’ve spoken to him on the phone, he’s clear minded, he’s excited, he wants to play football and South Sydney is the club for him.
