Burr rebuilds career

A YEAR ago, former Titans forward Lachlan Burr became a full-time chippy, his miserable English club stint behind him and the door to an NRL return seemingly nailed shut.

Now, the 26-year-old faces a different kind of fix-it job, helping to replace Warriors legend Simon Mannering in the heart of the club’s pack.

Burr churned out the first 55 minutes in the middle third of the field in the Warriors’ win over Gold Coast last week, having pushed veteran lock Adam Blair to the bench.

Warriors staff, big admirers of Burr’s aerobic capacity, were not surprised by the high work rate against his former club.

Burr played for the Titans in 2015 and 2016 but his move to the Bradford Bulls was a disaster – he was never paid after the club went into liquidation.
