What a player............. however I think the Aussies will take advantage of his aggressive nature: he's a penalty machine, liability, error prone and just thick in general. What would you do, drop him to the bench? Drop him? Play him prop? He's a risk playing against the Aussies unless he controls his aggression and keeps his errors down

What measure are you using to state that Luke Burgess has improved tenfold? Could you explain exactly how Burgess has improved his game rather than just stating he is a better player because he plays in a better competition

He was renown for planting his feet when tackling & suspect of loose carries. In my opinion he has improved his game become more mobile and to do that in more intense game has only got to be good of the England squad.

Burgess had already improved imensely the season before he left Leeds, he was Leeds' best forward by a mile in the first half of 2010, he gives good go forward and has a better offload game than Mossop. I was convinced he would do well in the NRL, and he has. I also think he was in better form than the likes of Crabtree, and Mossop at the back end of the year, and deserved a run out for England. As I said earlier I remain unconvinced by Mossop, he's big and agressive but his form has been poor the last few months and if he doesn't improve he'll be lucky to get in the 17.

Crabtree had probably the best year of his career in 2012, was consistently carrying the Giants week in week out. His form couldn't really have been much better, end of the year included. Hull fans were nominating him for MoM when they hammered Hudds in the playoffs.
