Burgess can move to prop to accomidate J. Tomkins/Westwood.

Along with the accolades he's receiving from Australia, yes.

Unlike Myler, he's playing a specialist position with little competition for a place.

Eastmond, Tomkins and McGuire all playing better than Myler this season and it would be stupid to have four halfbacks in the same squad.

I like the guy and reackon he did well against France, but I dont see how you can justify picking him based on that.

Burgess is more effective at 2nd row imo, I wouldnt want to see him moved to prop.

But he's hardly played yet...

Talk about anti Wire.

So everybody who doesn't pick Myler is anti-Wire?

Have you ignored the fact I have Atkins, Morley and Westwood in my squad?

There are better players available than Myler in his position(s). Once you move past that and accept he's not done enough to warrant leaving those players out of the squad, you have to then start filling other positions, and Widdop has proved he's a class act at FB, albeit against weaker opposition on the international stage.

Why are you pitting Myler against Widdop - just because someone else has selected him in their squad? It wouldn't be him keeping Myler out and it's not him Myler has to outperform to make the squad, regardless of whether Tomkins can switch to FB or not.

It's not anti-Warrington (most people have Morley and Atkins in there, some have Westwood, Harrison etc), it's common sense.

His stats are similar to Eastmonds this season.
