Quote: Exeter Rhino "Delaney gets far too much stick on this board. From a defensive point of view he offers more at centre than any other player at the club, and his workrate is better than some of the forwards.

Isn't it a bit late to be discussing the merits of the signing? He's no Inglis but he still managed to keep him pretty quiet against us in the WCC. I doubt he will be on an inflated salary unlike other overseas marquee players such as Webb, Lauitiiti and Buderus, all of whom have been criticised at various stages this season on this messageboard for not living upto their reputations and alleged salaries. If anything, I'd imagine Delaney gives us more bang for the buck than each of these, because he's still young and his career hasn't been ravaged by injury (although I have no idea what he is earning).'"

& he's settled into life over here really well unlike our other signing this year

Quote: G1 "Sometimes I wonder what people watch when they go to Leeds games.

Burrow is the main organiser in the team. Don't just watch who is on the ball. Watch what he is doing away from the ball. Watch him setting plays up, putting runners in place. He does this far more than Mcguire who plays a very different role. It's what he's done for many years in the Leeds team.

There's absolutely no issue with Burrow.

I wouldn't mind if he hadn't just been instrumental in our last victory with a beautiful ball to Donald and a lovely break that set up McGuire's try.

There's a perception problem our fans have with him. It was never better illustrated than after our victory over Harlequins earlier this year when he was on the receiving end of similar questions and criticisms. I had to point out to his critics that he had actually been involved in most of Leeds tries that day. This was disputed until TVOC confirmed he had actually set a Leeds regular rounds record with the most opta credit try assists in that very game.'"


I actually think there is a difference between an organiser, and someone who sets up tries. One will set up the whole play, and get most things going thorugh them, the other will be able to spot the gaps to put people through etc. Some people do both well, others can do one or the other. I have seen burrow do both, but he's more the second than first, McGuire also. Sinfield is closer to being a combination than anyone

Quote: G1 "Yes.

It was illustrative of the way our fans perceive Rob's game bearing no reality to his actual game.

He's still one of the best 7's in the Country, IMO and is the best organiser in our team, again IMO.

To answer Andy's point I think the team have no structure whatsoever which makes the half backs look very bad and I think the blame for that comes from much higher than Rob, Danny or Kevin.'"


Burrow is taking unfair crits here. As G1 has previously stated his contribution to our victory against Hull was 2nd only to McGuire and despite the extra man advantage we would have lost without these 2.

You cannot overstate the difficulty of playing behind a beaten pack which without JP & Biffa is not getting our playmakers on the front foot. If anything Sinfield is a bit below par.

Some of this lack of structure must be down to the coach who has not adapted his game plan to suit his depleted resources.

I'm not sure, we had very similar problems under smith at times. Maybe the main players are more suited to the particular gameplan

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj] Kevin Sinfield:982.jpg



For an example of what a half back can do behind a dominant pack look at Matty Smith tonight. Hasn't played with that team for 2 years, been lagnuising with 2 basement teams and looked like the best half back Saints have had since Long's pomp.

Matty Smith is a good player but he's no Burrow and if Burrow were in that structure, behind a pack that dominant there would be no drama. As it is he and Danny have to come up with big off the cuff plays which, luckily for us, they both do better than anyone.
