Campaign has already started in the media for Burgess, our boys have no chance against that, it's a popularity contest as evidenced by Sinfield's win last year. The half with no discernible passing game.

If there is any justice in the world, Cronk should win this because he was the best of last years group and he did not get it. He will not win this year. It will be Thurston or Burgess. The English love Thurston, giving him all the man of the matches in the world cup. I thought he was only man of the match in first one.
