Quite a few Aussies backed up after the NZ Test...

The aussies do it all the time for tests and state of origin. Sure it will be difficult but could be achievable if really needed

It wasn't less than 24hr turnaround though was it?

I'm sure he could do it if needed, but I'd rather we used our squad (Cook and Morro both available) and make sure Sam is ready for Saints next Sun.

i really don't think having one of our better players play twice in 24 hours is a clever move

think they have done in the past

No but its not unheard of, that's all I'm saying

The coaches complain over some of the scheduling as it is, doing this would just make a mockery of that.

Rest him we have cover playing twice in quick succession can't be good.

Agree with the consensus; he needs to be rested.

That's what I thought. We really don't want to risk injuring Burgess.

He'd be less than 70% effective as he wouldn't have been able to replenish Glycogen levels in his body. Nice move by Macca this but I doubt he'll play Sunday. Besides we've Cook and Morrison back as mentioned and they'll be missing Westwood, Morley and Higham in the pack.

It's Briers cutting us to bits that worries me.

They will miss Morley more than we will miss Burgess.

You almost sound like you know what you're on about




ALMOST.

He's been named at 13 for England so i wouldn't be that shocked if he turned out for us.

Depending on how much game time he gets, I'm not sure whether playing him would be the right thing to do. That's why Mac's the coach and not me

It's Bridge you need to be aware of. He really seems to know where the white line is these days.

Is that a dinosaur I see?

Does Warrington not carry out drugs tests?

Yeah. Bridge tests them for purity before dishing it out once it meets his approval.










Allegedly.

thats probably worse in terms of him backing up for us. if he'd propped for england then he'd have been unlikely to play full 80. Theres more chance of him playing full 80 at 13.

seriously doubt he'll play on sunday and he's only in 19 in case of an injury in training.

Lee Crookes used to do a gallon and a half on a Friday night, play for GB on Saturday, do 2 gallon after the game, turn out for Cas on a Sunday, do 30 tackles & 20 hit-ups. It never did him any harm.

Busted!

Is that the same GS who would do the same (without the tackles & hit-ups obviously) & still have enough energy to knock.....=reddeleted for legal reasons you really should know better! - Bullseye

What's wrong with knock-on?

There is no chance of Burgess playing on sunday against Wire. TS is not just in charge of the england team, he is also passport monitor.

Nowt to lose by naming him, he might do a Morley and get sent off in the first minute. But he shouldnt play if he gets any significant game time
