Because the thread is about Burrow, and the post I was responding to is about Burrow. The point was about how few missed tackles. Of course with making less tackles you are going to make less missed.

I suspect the "hiding" comment may have been more in relation to his completely anonymous performance with the ball, which consisted of either just farming it on or running down a blind alley and dragging defenders on to team mates in the process.

Not it wasn't about how few he missed - because Burrow didn't miss any tackles



Burrow made 12 tackles and 0 misses = 0 in 12 average

Kylie and JP averaged 1 miss in 11.5 tackles
Wardy 1 in 11.25
Sinny, Mags and Yates were 1 in 9
Sutty 1 in2 and Handley 1 in 1.5

This season Burrow has a better average of missed tackles than Watkins, Mags, Sutty, Moon, Kylie, Hall, Handley and Hardaker and the last 3 have all made fewer tackles - so have they been hiding too?

and they had only put two names in the hat prior to the match. No prizes for guessing the other name but it begins with Brian and ends with McDermott

Somebody has to take the blame, lets blame robby lets see, crabs across the line trying to find a runner, but wait a minute he can't do that Aitons doing it. Lets see, ah lets go from dummy half and pass it forward, wait a minute aitons doing that. never mind I suppose they will blame me anyway

Aiton's running from dummy half was one of the better aspects of our play last night.

Burrow put in a couple of good kicks but that was all in attack in reality.

No the quote said its easy not to miss tackles when you are hiding. It was not in relation to his performance with the ball.

Whooo Robbie Burrow
The only one on Telly with a tin kn*b

He might not have missed any tackles but he was awful last night, just awful.
His confidence has gone, along with his speed, and Leeds need to find a way to move him on ASAP.

Burrow and Mc Guire, had pace during their 'golden years'. With age both have lost that pace, no shame, it happens to the best of us.

Whilst McGuire has the ability to pick a pass, as he did for the Keinhorst and Hall tries last night, Burrow does not. Time to say thank you and goodnight Robert.

Burrow's defence is very good for a guy his size. But he is what he is. Really small. Any tackle he does make Will be followed by a quick play-the-ball. He can't defend at Hooker, hence the restructuring of the line to accommodate him. You can just about carry his defence in the scrum-half position behind a dominant pack (though if you look at the modern game, as opposed to 10 years ago when Burrow was in his pomp, 7s regularly make 20+ tackles per game), but for this an undersized player would still have to compensate with more attacking impact than Burrow currently provides.

A tin one? Lucky bugger. Mine rusts.
