I think last night, even though against a weaker opposition Sam Burgess showed is real postion is Loose Forward. He looks so dangerous with the ball when he has a bit more freedom rather than slugging it up the middle of the park all day.

Second row is his best position by a mile.

either at 13 or in the second row he is best running out wide.

Wonder if the tease that he would feature/start was a distraction for Wire and Jimmy?

He probably would have coped. It was good for us to lean on Langley a bit though. He put a lot more effort in on the tackling than he has been doing.

McNamara said: 'There was a lot of talk about Sam and whether we would play him or not play him but I'll never risk a player's health.

"We've monitored his weight loads over the last couple of months. He's a young boy, he's not got any injuries and we got knocked out of the Challenge Cup and have no extra games.

"So I thought the opportunity was there to play him but watching him in the session this morning we decided to go without him."
