Burrow is a half back. He plays like a Union scrum half - not a league hooker. We had two good young hookers - one of which we gave a long term contract to and played in the biggest game of the year against Manly (where he planily did the business). We now have neither of them at the club, but instead we're loaning in an unwanted Hudds 9.
Hookers are aggresive, strong and key defenders in and around the ruck area, who can dominate in the tackle and take punishment.
This is how it looks to those of us outside the bubble Brian.
