Does this mean Joe is not playing any part in the game at all? Could have done with him tonight as well

It does, it's a pity but I suppose at least he won't be getting injured.

Same thing happened to him last time, coach explained then that he took Joe for the experience.

Can't see it this time though and Smith picked Sam Burgess at loose forward, what's that about?

Burgess has been operating everywhere in the pack, and he's been doing a good job. I like seeing him in the Second row best, but he's good to watch at LF aswell. Just don't think he should be used as prop, too much pace and agility for a prop.

burgess used to be a loose forward, he is very good there.



any chance westy can play for us?

If you watched the game then you will have noticed what it was all about.
