Tracey / Sexton easilyFor me Toby Sexton should be halfback with either Drew Hutchison or Connor Tracey at 6.

He thinks the world is both flat & round at the same time. I think that he’ll play better the less that he has to think. Play him at left centre.Matty Johns said on late show that he would move Burton to left centre. Said he's a natural ball runner, but is weighed down by thinking of what he needs to do for his team as a half.
Burtons critics on here like myself have said he plays ordinary when he thinks. You just want him running strong lines and reacting to defence.
You can add his first choice fullback to that as well probs.it is stupid for people to think the assistant would change the halves combination after game 1 that he worked on and prepared in the pre season.
Yep looking back at one of his games for Panthers at centre, he changed his line while the ball was in flight to him, very difficult to do and shows how good a ball runner he is.He thinks the world is both flat & round at the same time.

I’d play Crichton right centre & Burton left centre. Would be the best centre combo in the NRL.Yep looking back at one of his games for Panthers at centre, he changed his line while the ball was in flight to him, very difficult to do and shows how good a ball runner he is.
It's pretty simple really, having Burton outside Kikau and Crichton (if he's FB) would give Burton plenty of extra time and space. Thats why I hope Tracey plays left edge 6.
Very easy for Burton and Tracey to switch deep in our own end for Burton to take long range kicks.
Because they shouldn’t have been our halves to begin with. Also Sexton trained with them all pre-season.whats the actual point of changing our halves pairings after 1 round after a whole pre season of prepping them, when we had barely any ball, lets be logical here

Ceraldud would look more of a dud if he changes his half combo after the first game, even though he should have never picked Burton in the halves after what we have seen in the last 2 years.Well unless he changes Burtons style of playing in the halves - we are in for a world of pain this year. He is a centre and even at rep level, where did they pick him? In the centres of course. He might want to play in the halves but it isn’t his natural position. Hopefully the coach, makes tough decisions based on getting wins.
Very true but we can do better with we've got, NRL is very different to school pick up football where a player would/could play in any position.I don't know why people are criticising individual players. It does matter how good the player is they are going to look bad in our team at the moment. Burton looked great at the Panthers, Kikao looked great and Taaffe looked a lot better with the Rabbits because they were established teams with a solid base for them to perform in. The team made them look better.
The same will happen to Critta, he won't have the same opportunities in our team at the moment. Its not until we establish the dicipline and we begin to click that we will start to see the best of players. I reckon even Cleary would struggle in our team at the moment with no go forward.
But when we do click and become consistent suddenly all our players will become the best in the world in everyones eyes lol. You could see this with the first trial where everyone was praising all the players and then bagging them a week later.
We have the individual players though we lack a definite half and a prop or two. But we are build a good baAse with a solid back row a couple of specialist hookers and set of fast backs. Though we have to sort out who will give us the most at fullback. But the potentials there. Our main problem is dicipline and committment.
Exactly bro, it looks like you have the same problem sleeping as I do, I understsnd knowing your past problems.6. Tracey

Still yuck, but can't be worse than Burton and Hutch.
Tommy Turbo gets picked at centre for the blues but that’s not necessarily his best position, so it means crap where they get selected at rep levelWell unless he changes Burtons style of playing in the halves - we are in for a world of pain this year.
