Now,

As many of you know I'm not his biggest fan but last night was, IMO, the best game he has had in a few years.

The way he was direct and knew exactly what he was doing before he had the ball made the speed of our attack much quicker. Contrast this to the last few months of him catching the ball stood still and dancing around killing overlaps. Last night was a joy to watch. The Donald try, although set up by McGuire, was IMO all down to the way Burrow hit the ball with speed and took out 3 defenders with his direct cross field run before passing the ball behind Ablett, which took out another defender leaving McGuire with a 2 on 1.

That was just 1 example of his directness but If McGuire is injured for the rest of the PO's then we will need Burrow to play like he did last night in the next 2 games.

Keep it up Rob

Nah. Should get rid of him for a KOLPAK or ocker stiff. He's obviously overated/ past it/ a one trick pony.

Tried and tested Burrow, tried and tested.

It was also Rob's break which set up the win at the KC last week.

He seems to be rediscovering his 'beep-beep'. A consequence of the opposition focussing on McGuire?

As much as I agree with your post, last night gave me a bit of confidence that he may have something left to offer us.

Well I have to disagree unfortunately. I thought he was much better last week.

I thought last night, from an attacking point of view, other than his near try (which IMO would have been the try of the season) he was poor. His defence however, was like it normally is first class, and I will stay say the team looks better balanced since he returned.

But if there is a scrum half in superleague who gets tackled with the ball as much as him, then I have not seen him.

This is what I mean when I say his indecisiveness. Its so frustrating how he takes it on himself to do something when we have a perfectly capable backline begging for the ball in space outside him.

Still, when he took the line on last night there was not anything outside him available that I can remember so thats already an improvement for me

Loved his run in the first half. Nobody could get hold of him. Memorys certainly rolled back last night. Everyone was on song.

Webb, Delaney, Donald ,McGuire and Burrow all had super games. Webb and Donald we're kick returning like it was the year 2007

All those years ago!!!!

he is going to have to continue improving now danny is out!!

Hello

I'm all yours for 40,000 pa'anga a year

Aye all them! It seems an eternity since Webb and Donald did some good kick returns. The golden oldies returned.

Burrow was immense last night. Watch what he does to give McGuire the space for the killer ball to Donald for his try.

Burrow should be our scrum half for the next five years. Unless some idiot fan wants to rush out and replace him with someone like Orford. That'll do the trick.

Even Nostradamus didnt see that one coming.

Did you not even read my post?

Of course not



Glad you now recognise what Burrow has been doing all along.

40,000 pa'anga a year too much for your club?

I'll drop to 37,500 pa'anga a year then. You driving hard bargain.

Only if you turn up for the team photo dressed as splendidly as you are in your avatar.

And i'll throw in a quart of goats milk and some skittles.

Indeed Burrow was superb.....but how can you rationally state " for the next five years " ? You only have to consider what a cruel game it is by what has happened to the imperious McGuire...he might never be the same player again after one more match. Bluddy awful.

And why Orford ?

If the cap fits.

Except he hasnt been consistently doing it and blows more points than he creates. Last night was a start though and if he steers us to a 4th GF win then I may slighty be won over

You ignorant oaf. That is our glorious late king Taufa'ahau Tupou IV


I'm sorry, do you think we are some kind of backward people who are easily amused? I'm going to find a better place to play.

Thought burrow was amazing. Great to see him hit really good form.

Without McGuire & Buderus our problem in the semi will be that the opposition (whoever) will now have fewer of our playmakers to close down. So Burrow and Sinfield will be targeted to stop Leeds functioning. Will need another big effort from the forwards to give these two the space they will need.

He might. But you don't release or not offer contracts to players because they "might" get a bad injury at some point in the future.


Because he is exactly the kind of big reputation, exotic, Aussie superstar scrum half the majority fo our fans would crave and he is a perfect example of why it wouldn't work.

Burrow doesn't seem to instill the kind of drooling, sycophantic admiration from fans in the same way the error-prone gyrating turnstile does, yet he'd be a far more worthy recipient of any MoS award for his defensive capabilities alone.
