I did read correctly, you just worded your post very poorly.....



No separation between starting or subs bench, just that he isn't suited to the modern game.



Agree with that, a couple of posters really undervalued just how good Aiton was for us last year.

There seems to be a couple of posters that really undervalued just how good Burrow was for us last year too!

When he had a sustained run at 6 prior to injury with Mags at 7 he looked every bit and performed like a natural 6 so who how you come to him not looking comfortable at 6 i don't know nor do i see it.
Onto him not being a natural game manager just how many times has he had to fill that role at 1st team level for you to come that conclusion?
It's a new year whilst a big transition is taking place amidst a mounting injury list so far too early to be suggesting such things no?
Gotcha-Re Mags just watch the games he played with Sutty was at 6 he directed the team then and during the play offs not only that he was "THE GO TO MAN" in the GF

There have been fans undervaluing just how good Burrow has been for us for 15 years.

He was good, for the last 3 rounds. Rest of the year he was either ok or not really needed.

he wasnt too bad in this game either www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/33740479, or when busting open the game and scoring his 200th try for leeds against Hull in the super 8s, or you know, when he was part of the side that won the CC final by a record margin, or when he basically won the first game against Wigan for us with an unbelievable dummy from acting half.

We do sometimes see a performance from a different angle be it player or coach don't we?

Yes he put in some good individual performances during theses 6 games but that was in a table topping side and despite this he did not show me he has the personality to constantly go looking for the ball and take control of a game. He may well grow into the position and I have argued youngsters should be given time, however to date he looks a bit too reserved and can disappear for chunks of a game. These are not the traits I look for in a half back or game manager. Contrast that with young Lilley who in much fewer appearances has show a willingness to get his hands on the ball and take responsibility.

With Mags injured Sutcliffe has to play but when he returns I would like to see him partnered with Lilley for a spell, unless of course we see a big improvement from Sutty.

However just my opinion on what I have seen so far.

Yep like I said, he was ok at times during the year......can see you have to scrape the barrel by mentioning the cup final.....we were what 4/5 scores clear before he even came on? At least I can say Burrow had his good moments, your evaluation of Aiton that "anybody" could've done what he did is ridiculous. He was probably the favourite for the Dream Team hooker before his injury.
