when is his contract up? i wonder if he would like some trophies in his career

He is a top player but he got battered by our forwards on saturday.

Hardly surprising given he had been struggling with an ankle injury all week, and went down ill on the morning of the match apparently.

Contract up end of 2011. By then we'll be back amongst the silverware

Signed for saints by then eh?

Did not know that, but still your whole pack was dominated by ours, and I was told pre-season Bradford had the best pack.

We do have a good pack on paper.

Yep, shame at the top it says 2003 team sheet

You really are going to have to try harder you know if you are ever to progress beyond Apprentice Troll. Some of the professional Stains trolls of a few years ago would be turning in their graves at how standards in the SHAT (St. Helens Academy of Trolling) have slipped since their day.





Edit: I think it all went awry when they renamed it the =redSt =redHelens =redInstitute of =redTrolling...?

LOL ........funny comeback!!!

i thankyou

Looked all right walking his dogs Saturday morning.

IMO Bradford need to be careful with Burgess. He's a phenomenal talent and is always willing to run the ball in; which is as much a bad thing as a good thing at the moment. With Bradfords attacking options seeming very limited and seeming somewhat unimaginative the forwards are ending up taking alot of drives in. Ive gone on about this before on RBA but in the Hudds match on 3 sucessive sets Burgess took 3 drives in each. That meant he was doing 50% of Bradfords work in the time. Its brilliant in theory, he's the best forward you have, and 100% committed, but if you want him to play past 2011 you gotta start looking after him too....

Exactly, or else he will turn out like Fielden who past his best now.

It's nice to have world authorities on player conditioning ofering us free advice. No, really.



Fielden? Would that be the same Fielden as we turned into one of The Awesome Foursome, who was for years the benchmark forward in SL, won pretty much everything the English game has to offer, and who peaked as arguably the best forward in the world, shortly before leaving the club?

Or some other Fielden?





No, you're right, we don't want anyone else to turn out like that.

We'll see the best from Burgess when Lynch returns, make no mistake.

Also I think he likes it more on the harder pitches

Maybe So. I aint been around long enough to have see Fielden play much but I do remember him in the 2006 WCC (My 1st Live League Match) and he was awesome. General opinion seems since then he's gone down Hill and I certainly haven't seen much to rival that game in 2006. Lets just hope the same doesnt happen to Sam ey....I just hope Bradford can sort themselves out, share the workload and string some good results together. That way we might see the best from people like Burgess

You think we or the club haven't realised any of this?



TBH with Lynch back I reckon that he and Scruton will do most of the donkey work with Burgess alternating between prop and 2nd row.

This would give him respite from taking the ball up down the middle and we'd get to use some of his much needed creative skills out wide.

Ideally a fit Solomona would be our creative outlet down one side and Burgess down the other. Shame both are suffering from injury at the moment

That's just bad luck. =whiteWas it really 2001?

LMFAO!!
Maybe the best over here at his peak never the world!!

Can't you read?

Yes i can and not even "arguably" the best either!!

Shame you couldn't get it right first time eh?

Well, of course I value your opinion, I really do, it ranks with me right up there with the opinion of the greats and legends in the game, but there is just the teensy weensy point that Stuart Fielden, the Bradford Bulls prop, WAS named the Best Forward In The World, and received this award at the 2005 Gillette International Awards on the same occasion as Anthony Minichiello won the Golden Boot as the world's best player.

So this makes your post look suspiciously like unmitigated bollox, and makes you look like someone who actually knows fsck all. Oh, well, never mind, eh?
