Yes, as a Saints fan I was worried how he turned the Wire game last week. 2 touches of genius tonight and that was the difference.
Must be in the England team.

Someone clearly doesn't remember Rob Burrow tormenting the super-fit Kiwis in a series whitewash, taking home man of the series.

Oh I do. But for me he offered more of an all-round game 4 years ago than I've seen of him this year. Which is why he's being used as an impact runner against tired defences rather than in an organising half-back role.

That may work well against a tired St Helens in the rain, but on a dry track against the Aussies? No.

When we had a poll on our forum who would we like to sign if we had a chance,I put Burrow.I have not changed my mind.Apart from looking like the mascot when he runs out,he is quality.

They have truly enjoyed and profited from running at him though and have hardly been bamboozled by his passing and kicking game. He is not an international class starting half back as his dismal efforts in the world cup showed. However he does have value as a situational substitute.

Use a kiwi ahead of a scottsman for England?
