Quote: tvoc "I imagine that for now he's been made to feel at home and valued within the club.
Some players (perhaps all players) need that and Burgess always had the air of someone constantly needing to prove himself at Headingley when in reality he has been worthy of his place since Scruton upped and left for pastures new.'"
He's having to prove himself now and only got the chance because of injuries. Everyone expected him to play NSW cup all year and maybe make a push next year but what he has done is take the opportunity given to him with 2 hands and as of yet, hasn't looked back.
As of yet I havent seen the game but did he play 1 big 40 minute spell again with the HT break in between? Thats how he has been used to date and it seems to be working well for him.
