He comes to Mt Smart with a big reputation and he will try heard to keep his reputation and arrives just as Mannering makes his long-awaited return to the Warriors ranks after a hamstring injury restricted him to 1 1/2 games which was realy disappointing to himas well as all of his fan.
It will be a tough reintroduction for Mannering, playing on the same side of the field as Burgess, the 21-year-old from Bradford.
The English test player's form hasn't been lost on Mannering, who sees the chance to inject some foreign talent into the NRL as a great opportunity to showcase the game and the competition.
