IMO Bradford need to be careful with Burgess. He's a phenomenal talent and is always willing to run the ball in; which is as much a bad thing as a good thing at the moment. With Bradfords attacking options seeming very limited and seeming somewhat unimaginative the forwards are ending up taking alot of drives in. Ive gone on about this before on RBA but in the Hudds match on 3 sucessive sets Burgess took 3 drives in each. That meant he was doing 50% of Bradfords work in the time. Its brilliant in theory, he's the best forward you have, and 100% committed, but if you want him to play past 2011 you gotta start looking after him too....

Exactly, or else he will turn out like Fielden who past his best now.

It's nice to have world authorities on player conditioning ofering us free advice. No, really.
Fielden? Would that be the same Fielden as we turned into one of The Awesome Foursome, who was for years the benchmark forward in SL, won pretty much everything the English game has to offer, and who peaked as arguably the best forward in the world, shortly before leaving the club?
Or some other Fielden?
No, you're right, we don't want anyone else to turn out like that.

Maybe So. I aint been around long enough to have see Fielden play much but I do remember him in the 2006 WCC (My 1st Live League Match) and he was awesome. General opinion seems since then he's gone down Hill and I certainly haven't seen much to rival that game in 2006. Lets just hope the same doesnt happen to Sam ey....I just hope Bradford can sort themselves out, share the workload and string some good results together. That way we might see the best from people like Burgess

That's just bad luck. Was it really 2001?
