Boring kickathon,.gladly haven't watched a single minute of it!

When you think that the players Australia put out yesterday are those that are not good enough to play in the NRL. What would have happened if they could have fielded Gallen, Thurston, Slater, Cronk, Thaiday, Inglis etc? I shudder to think what score they would would have put on England.

Tbf burgess isn't ripping it up and hes one of the best in league, its a different game with different needs,but all am saying is properly the backs in both codes could swap most easily, Jason robinson etc,

As Danny Lockwood put it in League Weekly ........... asking Sam Burgess to play centre in Rugby Union is a complete waste of talent ...a bit like giving Leonardo da Vinci a tin of emulsion and asking him to paint your house.

true ,he is a forward, he should play there or not at all, trouble is there where hell bent on him playing even if it was on the wing, just because he ripped it up in league doesn't mean he will in union,i do believe if he stops in union he will adapt and prove his worth in the forwards

And then to seemingly blame him singlehandedly for the performances is an utter joke.

The headline today is about him being omitted from the squad.
