We do have a good pack on paper.

You really are going to have to try harder you know if you are ever to progress beyond Apprentice Troll. Some of the professional Stains trolls of a few years ago would be turning in their graves at how standards in the SHAT (St. Helens Academy of Trolling) have slipped since their day.
Edit: I think it all went awry when they renamed it the =redSt =redHelens =redInstitute of =redTrolling...?

| 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.

| We'll see the best from Burgess when Lynch returns, make no mistake.
Also I think he likes it more on the harder pitches

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

| You think we or the club haven't realised any of this?
TBH with Lynch back I reckon that he and Scruton will do most of the donkey work with Burgess alternating between prop and 2nd row.
This would give him respite from taking the ball up down the middle and we'd get to use some of his much needed creative skills out wide.
Ideally a fit Solomona would be our creative outlet down one side and Burgess down the other. Shame both are suffering from injury at the moment
