Well I guess last night at least killed the "yeah, but he's a half-back not a hooker, he should be playing there instead" argument.



His most meaningful contribution was the kick that Denny Solomona booted dead from his own 20m line. Struggling to think of anything else positive he did in the game.

To balance it out a bit, his kicking game is far superior to that of his half back partner last night. Christ we would have been in an even worse position. Burrow did also do a decent kick in the first half, after a couple of McGuire specials.

Being told you have a better kicking game than Danny McGuire is like finding out you have more legs than Heather Mills.

Burrow has never gone into hiding, whether in attack or defence. Critism of his performance overall may be valid but to suggest he was hiding in defence is wrong.

So that makes it right I suppose like the majority that were after McGuire a short while ago







He was not hiding and made more tackles than has half back partner or all of the back 3 added together. While not being a dominant display you could name half the side that actually had a much more negative effect on the result.



Please be specific about his "many errors ...that cost us from his no idea approach"

All half backs are hiding in defence, that's why they are out wide.

So why single out Burrow?

Because his name came out of the hat this week at the post match meeting of the gloom club.

Because the thread is about Burrow, and the post I was responding to is about Burrow. The point was about how few missed tackles. Of course with making less tackles you are going to make less missed.

I suspect the "hiding" comment may have been more in relation to his completely anonymous performance with the ball, which consisted of either just farming it on or running down a blind alley and dragging defenders on to team mates in the process.

Not it wasn't about how few he missed - because Burrow didn't miss any tackles







Burrow made 12 tackles and 0 misses = 0 in 12 average



Kylie and JP averaged 1 miss in 11.5 tackles

Wardy 1 in 11.25

Sinny, Mags and Yates were 1 in 9

Sutty 1 in2 and Handley 1 in 1.5



This season Burrow has a better average of missed tackles than Watkins, Mags, Sutty, Moon, Kylie, Hall, Handley and Hardaker and the last 3 have all made fewer tackles - so have they been hiding too?
