I'd agree with this, I find our press conferences hard to watch - the last 2 IIRC were Parcell & Segeyaro and both times the reporters asked questions of the players and the players clearly find it hard to respond without stretching the truth. McDermott clearly doesn't like sitting in front of reporters but I can't fault him for that.

I'm hopeful for this season however I'm not convinced we can get above 7th/8th - fingers crossed Parcell will make a considerable difference to the fluency of our attack.

What does this mean for Sutcliffe then if mcguire and Burrow are being used as starting halves?

Mcguires first sprint in anger of the season and he pulls up and goes off. Gutted for Mags, suttcliffe will play plenty.

yep. backed up to score and went straight down the tunnel. I was very impressed with burrow. he sacrificed his normal scoot game and ran the game. I honestly didn't think he had it in him but fair play

There were a few games towards the end of 2007 when he looked like he could do it. Didn't he won the harry Sunderland award then get man of the series vs new Zealand in the space of a few weeks

Yep that's true lets hope he reverts to that if he is our starting 7 as stated by Mc.D.
