Doesnt Neccessarily matter, Joel is quicker than ben westwood, thus using logic, he would be able to keep up with the speed of the aussie backs. An area in which we are lacking massively.



Burgess on the bench? he's our best forward, by a long shot. I dont understand why you would play westwood 13 either, he hasnt got the ball handling skills to play 13.

What about sam tomkins? Time and time again danny mcguire has shown he cant preform at international level, whereas sam has done reasonably well.

Shenton doesnt look big enough for me. He'll just get walked over everytime by the likes of inglis and folau. I'd be much happier with ryan atkins in the centre's.

Just my opinions though.

Quite possibly, but that's our best side.

burgess is prop or loose forward and deffo benny westwood after his performances this year.

No he isn't, Burgess is a second row, then prop.

I agree. But with the options we have available at second row, I'd sacrifice him playing at 2nd for him playing at prop, where after Morley and Graham, the others (aside from Peacock) aren't as good as Burgess at prop imo.

There's players in the 2nd row like Westwood, Tomkins and Ellis with Lockers at loose, who can all do the job well.
