And the annoying thing about that was he was the leading try scorer in the NRL the season after. I went to see Brisbane vs The Roosters at the old ANZ and he was awesome. Deffinately not the player that played for us the year before. |

Maybe he had a rubbish clone? |

I'd agree with that. Not that he's a bad player, far from it, but he is vastly overrated. |

It would be interesting to see a list of 7's that have occupied the position for Leeds over the last 30 years or so, and see how Burrow compares to them. I can't think of too many (and none British) who could be called "better".
I do wonder what would have happened if he hadn't been kept or not developed. I would have liked to have seen Mathers move to 6 with McGuire at 7. Mathers was a good playmaker and I think 6 was his original position.

To be fair he didn't look too bad when he was on the field, sadly that just didn't happen very often. |

I wonder how many Leeds players of recent times have won Man of the Series awards for the national team?

Did anyone rate him at Leeds?
He was a good player elsewhere, but I was never aware of anyone actually rating anything he did in the blue and amber. Except maybe the local publicans. |

'" There isn't one.
Since 2005 Burrow has been and remains to this day one of the best 7s in this country and one of Leeds most important players. |

Couldn't begin to agree with that. There are very few 7s in the northern hemisphere that I would swap him for, and that has been the case for at least 5 or 6 years. Of course this could just make me guilty of overrating him, but to me his achievements at the club dwarf those of any other 7 in the 20 or so years I've been watching Leeds for. As a game manager he's underrated if anything (certainly by you IMO) but as a game breaker he is one of Super League's best. Players in any position who are genuinely capable of scoring a try out of nothing are a rare and valuable commodity. |
