Quote: Last Son of Wigan "Drop Burgess. We need to think of the team and club in general. We need Josh playing to regain match fitness and find his form to get back to the player he is, which is an international fantastic winger.
Dom needs game and time to develop what's already been a fantastic start.
I don't see the point in developing Joe into a better player by giving him game time at the expense of Josh when in 6 months he's be nothing to do with the club. We need to think long term.'"
I don't agree, your aim as a club is to be successful, continually looking to next season doesn't work. We always have players about to leave, you play the best team you have available to give yourself the best chance of winning something. This season Burgess has to be in the team, he's our best winger at present, to leave him out on principal is sort of self defeating to me, and I'm sure the club feel the same.
Injuries will happen, players need a rest due to dip in form or fatigue. The time will come for all three of them without the need to drop players because they chose to leave at the end of their contract.
I didn't advocate dropping Mossop and Tomkins,they added to our team and we won trophies, the same goes for Burgess.
