Flanagan is waiting to seize his moment

I thought Wakeham was solid until he got injured

Just to state the obvious...

If we fluked a win tonight you'd all be praising him.
He was very ordinary. The try came from a poor 2nd tackle kick that 98% of the time would’ve been cleaned up.

Thought he defended well but he has nothing in attack and not much of an organiser.

Burtons best asset is his running game and step. I think you take that away by moving him closer to the ruck and adding the responsibility of organising the team
Yes u r correct

Just another option who really isn't an option.

Like the rest of our "options".

Flamingo is next up after we get done by the storm.
would like to go watch the game tomorrow night and see how he goes but im in iso. i feel for the halves as i just think TB just needs to simplify the game plan. Give them early ball and let them play, it is too structured.

We know that neither Wakeham or Averillo are the long term answer. It wouldn't be such a big problem if Baz just moved Burton to halfback.

Hopefully that experiment is over now. He was no better than Avo

Exactly.

They also have to stop playing through JJ. Just feed the halves directly FFS.

Id like to see if there is any chemistry between Cook and Flanno. BBO is too inexperienced at this stage to play 7,perhaps 14. But im convinced Wakey,Avo and JMK aren't the answer.

flanno is too structured imo and he isnt a threat with ball in hand. If i was a defending team id be double teaming the left side as i know Flanno is no threat. i havent seen anything from him in reserve grade to change that.

A little structure would have helped tonight,we were chaotic

Burton will flop at halfback now, all he has right now is a kick and left foot step. Didn't even look for the ball tonight. The simple answer is to not play with an on the ball halfback in the first place and not heap all the responsibility on the one player.
