Rob Burrow is the person I think is the most overrated player by the fans (and club)... he burst on the scene just as defences were starting to get better, but were still crap. As soon as SL caught up a bit and the lines stayed flat and solid he started to run around like a headless chicken throwing slow, off target, looping passes and killing overlaps for fun by running sideways for 5 metres and deciding to try and duck under a tackle, even though it is usually 3 on 1 on the outside. People see him running from side to side though and think he's good. If there was 1 player I would get rid of at Leeds, its him. I would bring in a good 6 and move McGuire to 7 as he is much better than Burrow and actually knows how to control and organise an attacking line. He knows when to hit the defensive line too, something which Burrow gets wrong time and time again.

Couldn't settle at 6 in his first stint, inconsistant, and only became moderately effective when he was switched to 7. Although he has a Yorkshire cup winners medal, something that Kevin Sinfield can only ever dream of owning.

Qualiteh!

I hope you stick around and add to your posts, but more frequently please

Everyone says Lewis Jones was the best but he was bald and had big ears and was nowhere near as fit as Sinfield.

Sinni iz well fit innit.

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.
