[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 630919, member: 71068"] I wonder what he's like when he plays touch rugby. Well to be fair there is a difference between passing and knowing when to pass within a game situation. I'm sure he can pass (lions tour that step and blind offload to BOD was fantastic) but it's his awareness that seems to be the issue. I'd also say he's not had the benefit of Catts skills coaching that everyone else has had over the 6nations and training camps so he's probably a good 6 months behind the rest of the squad with what the coaches want and how they want him to play - it's not just telling him he needs to do. Maybe he'll turn into a complete centre but for my money he's not our best option at 13 just now. Having said that as much as i rate Burrell I’m still left wondering who I’d rather see line up against the AB's. Still we've had worse problems in the midfield haven't we? [/QUOTE]
