| And that's the problem, time. I'm not wishing to prejudge or wish for failure in an 'I told you so' manner but he's 32 before we start next season and if the consensus is that he'll need most of it before we can judge him then that's not ideal.
I get the gamble with Burrell, his profile, background in RL and the need to increase the talent pool, but, the thing that I'm not convinced about is that we train this guy get him RL ready for the business end of next season (heading towards 33) and he's going to play where?
So far on here we've had winger, centre, second row, and prop when the club signed him you'd have thought they would have had a plan At this rate we've half a chance of knowing one way or the other Feb 21 what that was and whether it has paid off.

| 2018 and 2019 and likely for the foreseeable future(with the exception ofor Toronto)...is/were the easiest periods I've ever known for Wire to win a GF....probably why I've be most disappointed in these 2 years than ever.
We must make sure in 2020.
No excuses.

There hasn't been enough recruitment to balance what has gone from Wigan. Leeds will be around Wigan and Cas zone.
Wire and saints will once again tailblaze.

He will deserve it if he contributes to a winning performance.
Clearly he has never done this in the past and thus has never deserved to be in a final, i suspect that the same scenario will occur tomorrow.:30555.jpg |

What do you mean Wire will trailblaze, we finished 4th and you can hardly say we were finishing strong at the end of the season...

| We tailblazed and without Currie and Brown and Patton threw in.
We suffered long suspensions from Cooper Lineham and Hill and lost Ratchford and Austin that screwed it all up...not to mention low minutes from BMM.
There's no excuses this season with fit players and a pre season not to 'tailblaze' at the minimum we did in the opening half of the season.

| Quote: Winslade's Offload "A RU centre is all about big strong lads running onto ball in a bit of space and blitzing the defensive line. In between they pop over to the dug out, have a cup and tea and do the Sudoku puzzle in the paper. Its no surprise that Burrell is a bit puffed after a few minutes playing RL and he will not get the space he is used to either. Perhaps he will surprise us and get sufficiently fit and elusive to play centre, but I would have thought he was more likely to end up in the second row. Prop ? no, I think that's unlikely.'"
I think having a reserve team will soon help us find out if he will make it or not. You need to play in actual matches to learn the game.

| Quote: clutch "Burgess would have been great if England had picked him at 6. He was one of England’s better players 4 years ago against Wales. '"
Very little chance that Burgess would have made it as a 6 - far too technical a position for someone who had no real idea what to do at the break down. Maybe he would have learned given enough time, but that would have needed years not months.
For all that Burgess is a great RL player, that didn't translate into being a great RU player and he never gave himself the time. The best parallel between Sam's style of league player turning to union was (and is) Sonny Bill Williams, but I'm not sure that Sam could ever have developed the pace that SBW had when he first went to union.

Sounds like a cullenism, does Paul Cullen drive a taxi these days?

As good as Sam is...SBW is another level again.

we used to have a thread on here, for the amazing things Cull used to say in interviews and on sky, it was called "Feet off our net"
until it vanished one day, i believe there was a private request from a mr C Pullen for it to be removed.

| Post Title = Front Row
Answer = Not good enough (and that goes for the rest of the pack) as we couldn't win an argument from June to September with the exception of the CC Semi and Final. Burrell playing prop won't solve this problem, it will only add to it.

| Apparently George Lawler is on his way out of Hull KR he'd be a nice addition at 13, real workhorse with some punch and would would be a better forward then Jason Clark.

| I'd give matt Davis a go at 13 but with currie as first choice. BMM and Hughes in second row.
