Re: Rob Burrow : Fri May 22, 2015 6:30 am  
GH must have accepted failure in his pursuit of Widdop & Houghton despite the scorn by some they were genuine targets.
As for this i think 2yrs is a year too long but we've seen players still under contract move on/retire in the past so who knows.
As a side the u16's he and Abbo Coach have ended the season unbeaten and i've got to say play some cracking RL.
Only time will tell if it's a good move or not i will add that i agree with AG wrt giving R.Ward and Lilley gametime.

Just to add, and no disrespect to Ablett and Burrow, but to be honest there are many coaches around the country who could have taken that Rhinos under 16 side unbeaten. There is some excellent players in that side, who excel week in week out for their amateur clubs also, without the influence of Ablett and Burrow.

Indeed. The spine of that side - Jack Walker, Cam Smith, Harvey Whiteley - are among the best players in the country in their age group. Add in the likes of Oledski and Nicholson and they're a very impressive unit.

Re: Rob Burrow : Fri May 22, 2015 9:44 am  
Excellent move by the Club. Despite in the autumn of his career Robbie still has the pace and all round skills but what makes him so special in SL is the game breaking ability to make a match winning play all on his own. Added to that he can play (or cover) two key positions. These players are rare and to discard him while he still can do this would be foolish indeed. Big Mac has shown he will give the youngsters a chance and Burrow has not been a starter much this season but I am sure he will once more prove his worth as the season progresses.

Exactly
RB has not had the game time others have, not so long ago lots were calling for D Mc to be ousted, but he has shown class is perminant and a good player can adapt. Little rob will make you eat your words before season is over, better to play with him than him playing against you thanks for what you have given over the years little fella

Nottingham. 800 years ago outlaws stole from the rich. Little has changed here

Re: Rob Burrow : Fri May 22, 2015 9:47 am  
One thing Burrow brings which is very much missing from this Leeds team is an effective support game. When someone makes abreak you usually have Danny on their shoulder, but he hasn't got the legs to go any distance these days. Frustrating as it was when he slipped on last play at Huddersfield, he was the only one who was there to take the ball. Its not a facet of the game that Hardaker or Sutcliffe have developed partiularly well, so keeping Burrow around will convert more breaks into tries

Re: Rob Burrow : Fri May 22, 2015 6:18 pm  
Although I am pleased Burrow is staying at Leeds I wish people would stop justfying it as being prudent for cover at hooker. Whoever Leeds sign/don't sign, considering Burrow as a hooker option will only lead to somebody being caught with their pants down. :D

Burrow has proven countless times he is NOT a hooker especially when you consider the disruption in defence.

He seemed to fill in ok at that role in the Challenge Cup final, a game I seem to remember that mattered.Not a out and out hooker ,but a good enough stop gap.

Good move signing him up for another 2 years. Cas will now have to pay a transfer fee.

Well I wish some people would not be so blinkered that they cannot see the unique contribution Burrow can make as a hooker. You can argue that he is better as a half back but for some time now he has been asked to play as a hooker a role which he taken to with great success on the whole and a position in which he was selected for his country. Sure when he plays at 9 we change our defensive formation but the positives more than outweigh any negatives and his sniping runs draw opposition defenders out of position and create space in a way that very few other 9s can match. He is still one of the SL players who are most feared by the opposition when he gets his hands on the ball.

Against HKR last night he made good impact off the bench and upped the tempo in his usual style.

3 very experienced players are leaving this year probably GH and Mac thought losing 4 was one too many all at once.I would have thought a one year rolling deal would have been about right for Rob though
