Maybe I should have ended my first post with a smiley face. Did you not spot the sense of irony?

So as you want and an opinion I will provide one.

Burrow is a great player, much maligned on these boards over the years and will offer invention and support play, and bring an edge to the ruck. But to much like Roby. he will give as ever 100% and will throw himself in front of anything and everything that comes near him! but will be criticised by people on here if he misses one tackle.

McM will tackle himself in to the ground, and offer good distribution as he always does, like a good old fashioned hooker. He will stand his ground and not take any nonsense he will give 100%. Like Burrow if he makes one missed tackle or one sloppy pass the people on this board will slag him off because they know no better than the end of their nose.

I suspect McNamara will not go with either of them and give Roby a full 80. I also think for what it is worth that Chase will be dropped and Widdop get a start. I think Ferres will be back in the starting line up.

I am not a troll, just fed up of the same people posting the same old . Club first and country second. This post just stirs it up again.

For what it is worth I am a big fan of both of these players, and for me Burrow is what is great about our game, a little bloke giving it to the big un's.

Burrow is a capable hb too unlike one trick Mick

Roby for 80 minutes, and both McClorum and Burrow no where near, both not at a standard of international when New Zealand and Australia around.

And while where at it Widdop no where near also, another over hyped not to the standard.

So many people moan on here about players being picked out of position. I am glad Mick is a one trick pony and not a hooker trying to be scrum half.

For what it is worth Burrow is a scrum half, and one trick pony to.

You want Burrows on 10 minutes from the end of each half, and running at the oppos forwards when they are tired.

If its a choice of those two then its burrow for me.Ther'll come a point when the England players start to tire and lose focus,this is when i'd bring him on to try to re-focus them by speeding the play up

McIlorum is a massive fraud and a terrible player. The 'big defence' thing is just one of those things people say because Stevo said it once: more often than not he runs past the tackle or is bumped off by the defender.

I dont think Micky Mac has shown enough to keep his spot.
Roby has to start and Burrow has already shown what he can do.
Burrow is an outstanding player and is a handful for any team

Roby for 80 minutes.

Burrow will get smashed by NZ or Australia.

Mickey Mac has shown nothing. His distribution is both poor and slow. Astonishing he was picked ahead of Lunt.

I think your response is measured and I hope upon hope that you are right Chase is dropped. I never said you were a troll (read the post again please), I said you were quite embittered in your response and I based that on what you wrote in reply to me as well as posts you have replied to other people on other threads.

As for club v country, hardly applies to me here does it, only tenuous link I have to that is Chase and I would rather he was put in a canon and fired into the sun rather than wear an England/Salford shirt.

Agree.



Lunt showed how good he is during the play-offs - i.e. not very.

based purely on the World Cup games.

Roby to start, Burrows to come on, scoot when he can and run the big kiwis around a bit.

Who?


Ignore people and focus on what we need to focus on.
