Nice.

Good

Oh.

Great news.

So did Diskin

Great news for SL. If he had gone, you might have got a decent scrum half.

yeah just like Saints had last year... oh wait!!


nah i am messing

You're funny you are - in the same way a road accident is funny.

Depends if he's in it or not I guess.

He denied he was signing for Huddersfield when questioned IIRC

Aha ... So it's Burrow that's moving to the Giants ? We're swapping him for Brough.

Seriously would hate to lose Burrow.... But he aint a scrum half.

Burrow aint a scrum half?? What position is he then? Fool. He has played all his career at scrum half!

He slotted in at hooker a couple of times. I remember him hooking at London, and I think one of the props was MacDonald. Rob's little legs were almost dangling in mid air.

one trick pony

if next years a write off may as well get rid of all the deadwood at once

You're such a charmer. I think I luuvv you.

Suggest you read numerous other posts as to what Rob's best role is IMO ( and others' ).

Think its a bit harsh calling him dead wood! Dont get me wrong he isnt my favorite player and i do think he has become a bit of a one trick pony, but a few seasons ago he seemed to be developing more to his game. And lets hope he gets back to that form. One thing you cannot question is his effort and desire, and having thought about it i am quite happy he is staying and hope he will improve this year and prove people wrong.

Hopefully the arrival of a coach who spends more time engaged with the players on the training field and less time sleeping off the night before will see the regression of some of the established squad members halted in 2011.

What are you suggesting?

Suggest you understand what you wrote, let alone what others write...IMO - O stands for opinion!

I would also accept Rob's best role as SH seen as that is where every coach he has played under has played him (except for a couple of spells).

Fair comment, but, to play Devil's advocate, do you not think he would be very good at hooker regularly. Jumping out of the ruck into broken field with slow moving, concrete booted forwards all around. Sometimes it's worth taking the chance as it may rejuvenate someone's career.

I get what you're saying, but it doesn't require him to totally change his position, he does this anyway. I think to say he is an ineffective SH when he hasn't had a decent pack of forwards creating space for two seasons is slightly knee-jerk. I'm not saying he's the best thing since sliced bread. I think to judge him as harshly as some are, with the said in mind, is unfair to say the least. What other SH would have been able to play a better game, considering his injuries, with the pack we had at the time?
