Needs a half inside him who will get him the ball when he wants it. At the Storm he had Cameron Munster on his edge. At the Bulldogs he's mostly had Matt Burton.
All he had was Matt Burton to be fair.

Watch how Trindall setup I think fox's first try in the all stars game. Now watch what happens at the Bulldogs. That's your answer.
Assuming you're talking about the grubber and not the Latrell cut out.

Of all the criticisms one can make of Burton, surely his kick assists to JAC isn't one?

Last year CC had selection headaches due to lack of options, this year, he has too many. I thought Salmon showed enough to be a good ball playing 13, But we have Curran. I think Salmon might be our 14
I was pleasantly surprised with Salmon. Happy for him to be in the team as he gives us an extra option and plays to the line.

Interested to see how he goes with a bit more bulk

I don’t understand all the hate recently towards Marley. We all as fans can agree that Burton has been underwhelming. Together with the high expectations we have of him and his price tag we have every right to criticise his poor performances for his standards. Burton was a passenger last week and he needs to be better, he will also say that himself. Marley together with all of us want Burton to be 5/8 of the year (he can be). But will he be ? He should be in the conversation but sadly I don’t think he will be.

Him missing close to a third the season sort of explains the difference?
Still did it barely. Burton was actually terrible last year it isn’t funny he literally did fuck all 3 quarters of the year. Didn’t even excell at the one thing he did good in 2022

We saw the strike power he has in the all stars game.

What is the excuse for this guy not getting 20 tries in 2024???

Give the Foxx quality service and he will score. If we don't unlock the Foxx I will be extremely pissed off. There are no excuses any more, we have a strong enough backline now. If our players didn't watch that game and see how to give him service we are wasting his time and career. Unlock him ASAP!!!
What I liked most about his performance in the allstars game was his increased power. He really has beefed up a bit in the off-season and he was hitting much harder in defense, and actually bending the lines with his runs out of our end. I think he is primed for a good year! If he is outside Critta then I'm sure he will score a stack!!

No, the Latrell pass. Trindall creates the space by baiting the defender in on Curran and passes the ball as soon as he plants his feet.

Swear they follow me around on here. Could be multiple comments made but as soon as I say something they're all jumping down my throat followed by them sucking each other off with likes and comments. I've blocked them all now, can't keep filling threads with shit because they're more interested in playing the man and not the ball.

True.

I have no evidence to support this but it seemed like there was an emphasis on not relying on inaccurate torpedo bombs and chips/grubbers in 2023.
