Burgess

[LeonWasTheDogs]

Call me soft, but not a huge fan of our players playing in New York on a Tuesday, and then Bristol at 12pm on a Saturday. There was international break before the Hull game a few months ago, and Burgess had been in Australia 48 hours before, but still started. Can't honestly believe that he's fully fit with that travel.

That comes with the territory with him unfortunately. The reason he’s here is to keep match fit for the WC. He was a fringe player at Ipswich so the international travel wouldn’t have been a problem, but we’ve been beasting him by picking him for every game even when we’re resting Cabungo.

It is what it is, but yes I agree with you. All that travel and hardly any recovery time can’t help. He’s a bit of a unit though and fairly resilient. And he’s obviously not an explosive player, so he can probably trundle around for hours without any worries.

You are soft - he will be in first class with a lay flat bed for 8 hours - not pedalling the plane or running up and down the aisle..
