I know we are down on forwards but how does the whinging git get into the side. Couldn't break through the skin of a rice pudding. Please give him a spell in the reserves, on the other hand is he good enough to get in their side?

Ah!! But he does offer that deceptive sidestep going into every drive!!!!

Worked hard today.

However, I cant continue to defend him. Because whether he worked harder or not, he is so ineffective. More carries today, and when the stats come out it will show an appalying lack of meterage per carry.

nothing. burgess really stepped into peacocks boots as pack leader today. bailey offered very little

never looked interested today - what a waste

...Even Scotty would be better in the pack

like another of todays players,danny sculthorpe, he has loads of talent and should be an england regular. however he simply hasn't got the will to want to do it and you can't coach that

how did sculthorpe play

Got to agree re-metre's made and his work-rate today but his consistency is non-exsistent and at times he looks dis-interested.

rubbish,offered very little. only played in very short spells as well

Ineffective just tried winding bailey up,a couple of off loads but nothing special.

at this thread!

He put some really good big hits on, but his handling was shocking today, especially the one where he dropped the ball with the try line begging.

I spoke to him in the long bar after the game and he was dissapointed with his offensive game, he said that he could see the scoreboard chalking the score up as he was attempting to catch that pass

Slag off Bailey all you want, but he was the one who was motivating the players and building the enthusiasm today.

i could do that but i aren't good enough either

Is this the same burgess that bombed 2 certain tries

he bombed one def. he also took the battle to the hudds pack with some big drives. of course he could walk it in and die as soon as he is touched like our other prop if you like

When you look at his performance's emm his consistency isn't there imo i agree today his work-rate was better but his metre's gained wasn't as good as it should be.
Hopefully he'll play consistently well and step up his form because today proved the pack can play without peacock so that effort should be there every week which it isn't imo.

He's pants.Get rid.End of.

I'm surprised at that because he looked like his eyes were shut where we were stood!!

What was Ali doing then?

Bailey did lots of defensive work but I was disappointed with his offensive contribution.

As for Butterfingers Burgess, his ball retention is shocking. Truly shocking. Still, the coaching staff seem to be imrpoving this aspect of his game...............................

He must have been dreaming then

So two players cant do this?????????
