DavidM Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Tom Burgess continues in superlative form . 20 runs , 201 metres scattering blokes and superlative charges up the middle . Dom Young with some very good contributions , a superlative tackle back then great finish moments later . Some strong yardage runs , but a very poor defensive read , a penalty relieving pressure and an error on first play on the debit side . Both for me are WC squad certs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both for me are WC squad certs I think the penalty on Young was harsh as it was his foot that caused the player to lose possession and while a penalty, it was not deliberate. The try saver followed by the try a minute later was a superb play. Agree about Burgess, he is immense at the moment.

I don't believe he played there for Wigan but playing at 1 may negate the issue with his size defending in the line and he has good footwork and decent speed so he may make a decent full back. Will be an interesting experiment if they continue with him there. It an interesting one and something I have never considered previously. I have real doubt about his qualities at centre but as you say he has many of the attributes and build of a full back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM2010 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I'm looking forward to seeing Walmsley and Burgess playing for England. They should be a match for any front row and should help us get on the front foot. If Young, Makinson, Walmsley and Burgess were taking our hit ups coming off our own line then we should be able to get out of our own half quite regularly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made 36 and 34 tackles respectively and looked pretty mobile in defence. And some sting in his tackles. This is not something you would have said about him before. He is absolutely right at the top of his game now and with Walmsley one of the best props in the world. 2 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Tedesco wasn’t yet at the stage of being picked for Australia , if he was in 2013 I wonder what he’d have done ? Young is bang in the frame I’d say . He’s coming on a bomb week by week , it’s a home WC , and who knows where you’ll be in 4 years or 8 years . Ultimately I respect his choice though , as we’re seeing this with many other players . Great for the WC in general but I’m a fan of his 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graveyard johnny Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 don't get the "basket case club" thing people banter about on here - both the dogs and the tigers are packed with great talent but are struggling because the top clubs are packed with immense talent - both the dogs and tigers would dominate SL easily with the players they have on their books - hardly "basket case?" 1 4 a closed door is no object to FLAT STANLEY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really wouldn't. I think there's a fair consensus that Saints (best in SL obvs) would be around a mid table NRL team if playing week in week out in that league. Using that logic, i'd say the Tigers at least would be struggling to make top 5 in SL. Dogs may fair slightly better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
