Is Burgess the best forward in the game?

[Chook Norris]

John Lang seemed to get his interchanges horribly wrong last night. Couldn't believe he had Burgess on the bench for the final ten minutes.

my thoughts precisely. If you want to mount a late comeback, Burgess is a player you'd want leading the charge

Shillington, Burgess and Thaiday, 3 man race.

Thread needs more Tim Mannah.

So we're not counting hookers then. Because by any measure except probably running metres, Cameron Smith is the best forward in the world.

Parker deserves to be in that list.

I agree. Has really matured into a vital cog in the Broncos lineup, though he gets little recognition for it.

As for the OP, Burgess gets the nod for mine. He'll attract a lot of haters because of how much he's been talked up in the media, but in a rare instance he has actually deserved the credit. Hard worker, hard hitter, hard runner, and with pleny of skill to boot. Thaiday gets recognition for running at halfbacks in the main, same with Dave Taylor.

Noticed there were no Dragons in moffos list of nominations. Nice to know the worst pack in the comp is the one leading it.

He had too, the guy had nothing left in the tank. In saying that though, he should have been given a spell a little earlier so there was tme to bring him back on

The people have spoken. I am the greatest!

LOL @ Burgess
