Luther Burrell

[No6_Flanker]

Just watched back the Saints game, and was very impressed by the performance of Luther Burrell. Always thought he was just a lump, but his pass for the first try was fantastic, and then he made one for Pisi, with a cracking break and give (with the pass in front of the man, a real basic skill that is sometimes lacking, especially when you're haring down the touchline).

Hope he can continue this form, having been with England to Argentina, and possibly throw his name into the mix, in the future.

Are you sure you're on the right forum here?

Remember they don't have a forum anymore!

Their unoffy saints and sinners is a very bitter place, little wonder the sinners closed their board down,lot of back stabbing.

Yes this is the Tigers forum but surely if a player is playing very well for another team it should be something we can discuss as rugby fans not just as Tigers fans

I agree and I think that the other posters would agree with you as well. It is the last sentence:

"Hope he can continue this form, having been with England to Argentina, and possibly throw his name into the mix, in the future."

that I think set off the "are you a Saints supporter" line of thinking. Would a Tigers fan "hope" that a Saints player gets picked for England?

I don't see why not?

1. If you are English, surely you want the best players playing for England, regardless of the club they play for?

2. One more non-Tiger in the England squad means one more Tiger NOT on England duty & therefore available to play for Tigers during international weekends.

Quite agree tjs10. My comment was tongue in cheek. We don't have a smiley for that so I tried to get it across with . Ah well, failed miserably

And one more Saint in the England squad means one more Saint out of their matchday squad (which is set to depleted during the international periods, as it is)!
