Would love to see that come off. I'd imagine he'd be used as an impact 9 off the bench and cover the halves.

I got told off a guy who knows Wane very well that we was after Burrow about 2 months ago but he wanted too much so we let the interest go

tbh i know many people say tommy is an amazing defender but i have noticed him slip or miss alot of tackles, but when he does put a shot in it allways looks like it hurts the other player.

Really? A good tackler/bad defender sort of situation?

I get what you mean about players coming into a better system perfoming better, but Gale looked liek a real weak link when we played them t'other week.

I got told at the Huddersfield game by a good source that Burrow had been in preliminary talks with us back then. I'm guessed we've upped interest now Finch going

Genuinely wouldn't want Burrow, I don't rate him. He has a lot of zip but most of the time just looks like he's doing a lot due to his pace and small size, but in reality hasn't done much.
I know you can't generalise as his try in the GF was top notch, but overall, meh, unless we're desperate.

Disagree 100% mate. Very experienced with a great kicking game and can swing a close match and change a game. Cover at hooker and scrum half, get him signed!

agree entirely.
good big match experience. would fit in for a couple of years whilst we waited for the next gen.
he would be a similar signing to deacon.
he also has an excellent work ethic, which is a plus factor in this team.
a better option than chase to me, HOWEVER if we have signed Smith then it wouldn't really make sense, as they are both cover for 9 and 7.

You are allowed to disagree

Just my opinion, plus, his defence is, let's say, suspect

I'm not saying he's crap, just, IMO overrated.

Totally agree, well said

Would be a good bench signing and for cover, nothing more
