| I think there's a two main things that are impacting the Burgess boys;
1 - They've gotten too big for their boots and stopped putting in the hard yards, they'd 'made it' in 2014 and success has gone to their heads - they seem to be more interested in taking cool selfies with their tops off and their shades on at all the hip places rather than getting their hands dirty and doing the extras in the gym/on the training ground - Props aren't meant to be the cool kids - props are meant to be salt of the earth, workers, battlers - they're too pampered away from the pitch
2 - They've all now flown the nest - they've got wives/girlfriends and more importantly kids. I think they flourished living together, being young single blokes with that natural competitiveness to be the best - you do lose a bit of that when you've a wife and kids (and cool selfies to take).

| Daniel Sarginson has been a very unlucky boy. He deserves better than a broken arm.
Without Englishman Joseph Greenwood, I doubt that the Titans could have beaten the competition leaders.
Now all we need is a couple more English backs in the NRL and the convict people will start to take English rugby league seriously.

| Because of course, being taken seriously by the Aussies is so much more important than the strength of our own comp...

| Joseph Wardle scored a great try for Newcastle. Commentator Andrew Voss spoke of a [icheer from Huddersfield[/i, and then of how Wardle was a swap for Jake Mamo organised by Nathan Brown. This was great publicity for English players, the English game, and Super League. The convicts are being forced to treat English rugby league with more respect.

| A stellar performance from Gareth Widdop in the Dragons win over Manly.
A dink to the corner for a try.
A cross-field kick for a try.
A feign to kick then short pass for a try.
An interception try.
A 40/20.
8/9 converted with the boot in his 20 point haul.

| Gareth Widdop last weekend ensured that he will be in the England starting lineup for the World Cup -- if he can stay uninjured until then.
