Please club loyalty and rivalry isnt anything anymore!!! And we can see it all around the world!
When Figo played for barcelona he publicly stated his hatred for them...what happened next we all no!
All i can say Money talks!

Really? Because I lived in Barcelona dn I cannot seem to recall Figo ever publicly saying he hated Barca.

Hristo Stoichkov, on the other hand (who lived across the street from my school) ...

their rumours are as good as Phillips "talent spotting" skills

or DVD's knack for positional changes?

How many have been tried?

We got 5 minutes of Burt at 5/8 and he organised the team well. You can't comment on the others because you have never seen them. How can this team improve if all you ever suggest is to run with the status quo. I seem to remember that people thought Smith was mad for playing:

Wagon at lock
Cayless in the second row
Buying Jason Taylor


He tried a lot of things in 2001. We don't do that anymore (I can't tell why)

I've always thought Burt would make a good 5/8 - I reckon he's too good a player to be out on the wing. Went well at fullback (although McKinnon is going great now). Who did he play 5/8 against dvdhunter..??

Think burt slotted in at 5/8 towards the end of the manly match?

 

[The Engineers Room]

Yeah we were up by 30 odd and Smith felt safe to experiment. Muspratt at half and Burt at 5/8. The team ran in a great try and he organised the troops very well. You can tell he'd love to play there as he was really keen to show he can organise a team.

Next year I'd love to see Smith try (maybe in a trial)

1. Eric Grothe
2.
3. Luke ODwyer
4. John Morris
5.

6. Luke Burt
7. Chris Thorman (I suppose Dykes)

8.
9. Mark Riddell
10.

Then have Vaealiki on the bench so he goes into the centres, Morris to hooker and Ridell rested.

Then maybe bring Riddell on as a back rower later in the game?
