When it comes to some players, he clearly is. Not sure how else you would describe the awarding of a two year contract to a player in his 30s who has dropped off a cliff in terms of form and effectiveness over the last 18 months?

Depends on how much we are paying for his continued services. If the price is right, he offers experience, to pass on to the youngsters coming through. An ability, if brought on at the right time in the right game, to inject pace, break the line and change a game Leeds way. It also smooths / extends the transition from golden generation to new generation.

He doesn't offer as much as he did a few seasons back, the game changing moments are fewer and further between, but at the right price....

Even with my glass half full view, I concede that was a bit left field.

Burrow is not the player he was and I was surprised he got a 2 yr extension. However at the right price back up hooker and I suspect he won't be with us for the full2 years. I'm a bit puzzled how this fits with the rumour that GH is after a halfback?

It depends. If burrow is a top earner yes it would be a mistake. However I suspect burrow will be on a much reduced contract from his previous £50k maybe and provides some good experienced cover at hooker and half back.

I love the people who know exactly how much players are on.

I love people who are unable to read and understand a sentence.

I think you have been a bit harsh on AG there. You appear to have edited your own quote for clarity? In the original I also read it as you were saying you knew he was on £50K and that MAYBE he would now be on a much reduced contract.

So you didn't say he was previously on £50k then?

Some slightly better decision making from young Handley and Burrow could have easily won the game with two late tries under the sticks. Peoples opinions on this whole forum and not just Burrow would have been wholly different today.

With our inability to break down Wigan and Aiton's form it seemed obvious to me Aiton should have been brought back much earlier and Burrow moved into the halves. He just isn't being used properly

Burrow has been poor for two seasons now.
He is far too predictable and should have been moved on.
Law of averages say he will have the odd good game but these are few and far between.
He is not a hooker and he is an average half back not what we should be playing in a team looking to win trophies.
If GH did not want him in the first team why does he keep picking him?
