Words to describe...i'll start us off

Lazy
Poser
Overhyped

If anyone wishes to use more than one word split with hyphens like this "believes-his-own-publicity".

And so on and so forth

You sure you haven't got confused with Leon Pryce when he was at Bradford?


Coz if you truly think those things of Burgess, you're watching the wrong game.

Sounds like he had a similar game to against Saints last week.

Carrying a knock?

He needs to play second row for the rest of the season, and we need Jeffries passing him the ball, on the left. Teams are getting the measure of him charching it up the middle, and with big props to take on that are just as strong as him he finds it difficult to make ground. Get him out wide with one on ones with smaller guys and he'll run through them all day long.

If anybody needed an example that Sam is not a loose forward then last night was it. He doesn't have the mobility for that position. He needs to be sticking to one side, straight running and hard tackling.

He's dropping hints about wanting out. He's under the impression that if he picks up a serious injury again the club won't stick with him.

Well, I don't say this often, but what a complete load of b0llocks.

The problem is Sam has been asked to do too much for too long. He needs to be moved to the 2nd row or LF instead of being asked to be a battering ram for 80 minutes. I'm sure that next season, with the addition of Hall and the retention of Lynch that Sam will be able to get back his form and be put in a more settled postion where he can play his own game
