[QUOTE="chippieolamus, post: 770191, member: 71374"] I'm so angry about this, both at England and at Burgess. England pushed him into the position where he had looked unconvincing at best, ignoring the fact that his best performances came at 6. I'm fairly sure that had he been omitted from the wc squad and instead had a full pre-season learning his game at 6 for Bath, he would've had an excellent season. Instead, he wasted 4 months playing a position he was never going to succeed in (especially not before the world cup). However, I'm also angry at Burgess. What's the point of coming to a completely new sport if, after 1 average season where you show potential, you quit and run back? What did he expect? To lead England to a rwc win? The whole thing has been a shambles of mismanagement and lack of communication between Bath and England. If we had a S15 structure, he would have played in a position which was mutually agreed, and this whole situation would've been avoided. [/QUOTE]
