Why does he have a better chance though? He has no experience playing the role while most of his footy in the NRL has been in the centres. Burton just needs to focus on settling into the team and halves before we start heaping all this extra pressure on him that we so often see break young halves.Yes but read my post I said he has better chance of being the playmaker given we don't have a good playmaker in Flanno, Wakeham and Avo.
At this stage Jake has the most experience within the system while probably being the furthest away from being a traditional half, obviously the club have seen enough from him at training to persist with him in that role last season and again this season despite that. If he doesn't show improvement on the pitch this season then we move in a different direction, but for now he's the best option.
