Change the record. Burrow made no errors or missed tackles so quite why you pick on him before so many of his teammates who gifted away tries or made the wrong decision on attack that cost us points.

He might not have missed any tackles but he was awful last night, just awful.
His confidence has gone, along with his speed, and Leeds need to find a way to move him on ASAP.

Burrow and Mc Guire, had pace during their 'golden years'. With age both have lost that pace, no shame, it happens to the best of us.

Whilst McGuire has the ability to pick a pass, as he did for the Keinhorst and Hall tries last night, Burrow does not. Time to say thank you and goodnight Robert.

Comparing an average of players doing 40 plus tackles against someone doing 12 , no really it could only come from you.

Of course with making less tackles you are going to make less missed.

I proved your point wrong by pointing out that 3 players made fewer tackles yet more misses than Burrow and this included your pal Hardaker who has more than double the number of missed tackles than Burrow.

Burrow's defence is very good for a guy his size. But he is what he is. Really small. Any tackle he does make Will be followed by a quick play-the-ball. He can't defend at Hooker, hence the restructuring of the line to accommodate him. You can just about carry his defence in the scrum-half position behind a dominant pack (though if you look at the modern game, as opposed to 10 years ago when Burrow was in his pomp, 7s regularly make 20+ tackles per game), but for this an undersized player would still have to compensate with more attacking impact than Burrow currently provides.

You proved nothing, as is the usual case. What you showed is a stat that showed Burrow made 12 tackles last night with no misses (which by the way I disagree with). You proceeded to say he averages 12 tackles with no misses, and compared it to two players who made a tiring 46 and 45 tackles respectively, but missed 4 tackles. You for some strange reason then decided to point out that as an average they miss more per tackle than Burrow.

This stupidness though is somewhat mitigated as we can now see you are consistent in your complete disregard of fatigue on a professional sportsman, as we have seen in the other threads.

Where Hardaker comes into it I don't know, unless he missed his seat in the stand last night.
