[QUOTE="ollybarkley, post: 213734"] I have to agree with you... Was never really that impressed with Burgess this test season. Thought his passing was brutal at times, and merely adequate at best. Do like his running and defence though, and he seems to be able to run his pack decently enough. Wouldn't quit on him, but would most certainly be getting him to work on his service and option-taking. Sheehan and Valentine would be my preferences for the rest of the 3N and the November tour because they are prospects that you can work with for the future. Cordingly isn't and in my opinion, this was a poor choice from Deans, which is surprising because he is usually very good with player development and identification. Look at how long Canterbury have been feeding the All Blacks their inside backs....Mehrthens, Carter, Ellis, Marshall, Aaron Mauger, Stephen Brett (not yet but soon), Casey Laulau, McDonald, Bateman (soon I think).... And unfortunately politics is in every rugby hierarchy I know of...even here in little ol Canada. [/QUOTE]
