Quote ="SmokeyTA"too many locked in to a view that Burrow isnt a 'proper hooker', he has been great for a months. But if after all he has won up to now isnt going to convince people, this isnt either. Seems a mystery to me that some were so blase about seeing him go.'"
Correct. Many were saying we needed a "proper hooker" or what an error it was to only have one hooker at the club, or even the hilarious idea to move Moon, our most consistent centre, to hooker
Many said our dip in form was solely down to losing Alton forgetting losing other key players to injury too.
Almost all forgot Robbie Burrow and his unique abilities that for so many many years have more than compensated for so called "proper" tackling in the middle. He has accepted playing second fiddle to an inform Alton this season and when fit has quietly got on with making the best of his limited minutes and IMO has made good impact for most of that time.
I predicted some time ago that Burrow would get to play a positive key role this season and he has not let me down.
