South Sydney Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire says under pressure International George Burgess is finally back to full fitness.

Burgess has struggled with form and injury in the last few seasons and was a shell of the man that helped Souths to their historic 2014 premiership.

“He’s been able to get his body right,” Maguire said.

“People don’t realise what he went through for the club last year with his injuries.

“He’s been able to actually train full days now.

“Off the back of that, I’m sure he’s going to have a good season ahead.”

Along with brothers Sam and Tom, the Burgess boys will be integral to the Rabbitohs returning to the playoffs.
