[QUOTE="Peat, post: 717404, member: 42330"] I too think people are being a little over-harsh on Burrell. He looked bad stuck between two star performers when in reality, he was probably just the wrong side of average. He did some very neat things in attack, albeit often letting himself down at the final juncture. His defence, well, I still think his main problem in defence is that he simply mis-reads the situation and doesn't get enough on players, leading to him missing tackles he shouldn't. But it's not terminal and with the exception of Barritt, we run a few risks with anyone at 12. I would rather have Burrell than Barritt on current 6N form, although obviously I'd rather have neither. I agree with GN10 that people are going to hate Fazlet at 12. I know I do. At the moment, out of the guys in contention, my preferences at 12 go Tuilagi Burrell/36 in form Barritt Burrell/36 out of form Fazlet [/QUOTE]
