Salford exit a sore one for Burgess

- DAVE CRAVEN

JOE BURGESS says his Salford sacking was "s***e" - but he will make the most of his Hull KR chance.

The ex-England winger was kicked out of the Red Devils last month following an investigation into an undisclosed disciplinary matter.

They deemed his conduct not "consistent with the club's expected standards" However, he plans to fight their decision.

In the meantime, Rovers gave him a one-year deal and the former Wigan star is ready to grasp it with both hands.

On his controversial Salford exit, the 29-yearold insisted: "It's gone now.

I've put it behind me.

"I'm ready just to crack on with this. It was s***e how it happened.

"I really got along with everyone in the club and really enjoyed playing there.

"They're a good set of lads and I loved trying hard for them.
