Burgess moved from the league to the Union in 2014. However, the change did not work after the unsuccessful World Cup in England.
Coming from the NRL-awarded Rabbitohs, massive hype had surrounded Burgess’ arrival from the league to the Union in the hope of asserting himself in Lancaster’s plans for the World Final in England.
Burgess was recently involved in an online controversy with former Bath trainer Mike Ford.
Burgess was signed to Bath until the end of 2015, but Rabbitoh’s owner Russell Crowe secured his release overnight and he was quickly on his way back to Australia. While he was flying, Ford made media in England that were straightforward for Burgess.

This new controversy comes after an argument with former South Sydney Rabbitohs teammate Issac Luke.
The couple played together in a rugby league campaign in 2014 before going their separate ways.
Luke was heavily criticized this weekend after pictures appeared of him laughing with opponents after losing to his new Brisbane Broncos team.

When Burgess was interviewed in the photos, he had these damning comments about his former teammate.
“With Issac, I can understand that he has been there for two minutes and is unlikely to appreciate the situation they are in,” said Burgess.
“If I were an older player, I would be dirty. And I would say Issac, buddy, we’re not going to do that here, and then he wouldn’t be doing it next time.
“It should hurt you to lose as many points against a lesser opponent and lose five in a row. I would be right in the shed, I’m dirty. “
Luke responded to Burgess’ comments shortly after the interview with the Englishman with a tweet.
For years I’ve been playing with my heart up my sleeve. And I will until the day I hang up my boots. The actions that took place after yesterday’s game were bad in my name. I accept that. But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt to lose. I came to the club

Another tweet followed with a message to his former teammate.
I wouldn’t normally react to something like that. It’s just more media advertising. But when one of my good friends @ SamBurgess8 said something, it struck me personally because he knows what I am like. You have my number brother. I am just a phone call away. ❤️

Sam Burgess replied with his own tweet after reading Luke’s message to him
I’ll call you brother today. If you actually read my comments about you, I will not attack you, I will actually understand your situation or compromise. I know that you play with your heart and have always played with me. Chat later Xx ❤️❤️ https://t.co/2iUMiKBbz4
