You'll definitely find that GH was consulted and it was GH who allowed Buderus to renege on the final year of his contract, but only on the condition that a suitable replacement was provided.

Question: How many of the illustrious Magnificent Seven remain at the club?

Question: How many of the illustrious Magnificent Seven were allowed to renege on the final year of their contracts?

Question: How many of the illustrious Magnificent Seven had their contracts terminated during their final year?

But prior to those final two games of last season Burrow did come on as a replacement hooker for Buderus and made a regular impact. When Buderus returned after half time the usual tactic was for Burrow to revert to SH and a forward went off. With fewer replacements this year this same tactic would mean Sinfield having to take on much more heavier work.

I think Hood being injured brought about the experiment of starting Burrow at 9 which although not my preference has actually not been a failure either. Our troubles are to do with wide out defence, poor form at half back and a very poor kicking game.

I agree with you that if Sinfield is to continue at 6 then Burrow should replace McGuire at SH as he looks far sharper at present.

Having said that for the WCC I would prefer to see Sinny back to 13 with Burrow at 7 and Mags at 6 again and give McShane a go.

So... Webb, BJB, Watkins, Hardaker, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Bailey, McShane, JP, JJB, Delaney, Sinfield with Griffin, Moore, Ablett & Hauraki. This means Leuluai & Clarkson missing out

Does anyone have any spare tickets for the South Stand? Money waiting!

Suggestions that Rob Burrow is an acceptable starting Hooker shows a real lack of understanding of the Hooking role in the modern era. A Hooker is arguably the most important position in the team. Everything starts with the Hooker.
His body language is all wrong. Its so predictable what he's going to do and he doesn't commit defenders before he passes.
For example, when scooting out of dummy half you look up towards the defensive line, drag the marker or line defender, suck them in then pass. More yards are made as the line is more stretched. He doesn't, he is never looking "up" to see whats on and who / where he should pass to. Our forwards were virtually none existent again Wigan, with the exception of Griffin & JJB. I believe this was due to no structure from dummy half when coming out of our own half, if the forwards have no confidence in the acting half they aren't going to run off him, not in a fully commited way anyway.

I didn't want to be to critical of Rob Burrow, he's an amazing strike weapon and has a key role to play in the team when used correctly.

Isn't it funny how all the bandwaggoners suddenly want tickets for the South Stand all of a sudden?

Proper bandwagoners who can't make up their mind which team they support like myself got theirs ages ago

Isn't that the case in everything ?its a case of supply and demand

I suddenly wondered whether you could suddenly want anything without it being all of a sudden.

Wow! Some people never learn!

Best of luck to the Rhinos from a Wigan fan. 25 years since we beat Manly, I hope your guys can do the same in a game just as good.

Thankyou

We could develop that idea. If we can [ustart[/u with 16 men I reckon we'll be in with a real chance.

Yeah, with 16 men, even Ryan Hall might be tempted to plug his own gap on the wing.

That came on suddenly!



I was going to say something similar but you got in there before me

Smith and Moore out, BJB and Kirke in otherwise same squad as last week, Kirke must be in because of his big game experience

Indeed. He should take lessons from the world's best full back on how to smash an opposing winger into touch.

You should look up the defination on "creative" nanty....

Burrows "ducking" was the most creative part of the first half & his run for Hall's 2nd half try seems to fit the bill, but you stretch whatever you want nanty

You need to get out more

Thanks for the reply, I have managed to source a ticket for the SS now. All the best for Friday.

Having now seen the 19 man squad i think Brian Mc is rewarding as near to the GF team as possible for this fixture with Griffin taking Buderus' spot in the 17 and Watkins getting the nod at RC but taking Ali's spot.
Webb
Bjb
Watkins
Hardaker
Hall
Sinfield
Mcguire
Bailey
Burrow
Peacock
Jjb
Delaney
Ablett

Clarkson
Leulaui
Kirke
Griffin

Hauraki and Mcshane to miss out.

You're probably right.....and how sad that would be to see the return of Kirke.
