Quote: NickyKiss "Marshall has to play imo or else it just sends out the wrong message. That could be for Burgess or Davies because he’s outperformed both this season when he’s been selected. He had an utterly unbelievable 9 try’s, 3 assists and 11 clean breaks from Just 4 games and if that doesn’t warrant a place this week then I’m not sure what he can do.
I hear people mention the defensive side of his game as a reason to leave him out but the worst game we’ve had defensively down that side was Wakefield when he didn’t play. He is also no worse under a high ball then Tom Davies (in fact I think he’s better) and he’s more clinical when chances come his way.
Picking on form he should ‘currently’ be first choice pretty much regardless of opposition.'"
Do you think Burgess deserved to be "Dropped" Monday after his performance Friday and previous games (6 tries in 4 games?).
Not arguing about Marshalls abilities and it's a fantastic position to be in but I thought Budgie on Friday had probably his best game since returning despite not scoring any tries.
IMO his all round game is superior to Marshalls and as long as his Effort is there I think he's the better player.
I don't perceive any weakness for Tom Davies under the High ball? Not sure where that comes from TBH but again I don't think he could have done any more than he has and he is deffo a Better Right winger than the other 2 who are both "Lefties".
Marshall's all round game is improving - He's getting better under the high ball, he's not falling off as many tackles and he looks stronger returning the ball than 12 months ago.
I think Budgie was really good in his first 3 games in a winning side this year and then IMO has his best performance in a losing side at Saints under real pressure. I just think that's something Marshall needs to do, perform under pressure in tight/losing games.
