Absolutely dissapointed with our clubs spending of the cap
A solid 6 and 7 are required in spine and poor Burton has all our hopes on him,we are cannon fodder in he really needs a solid partner otherwise we’re gonna struggle for points again.
I guess today and next week will tell us more of where we are at

Sometimes ennis talks for nothing, like indirectly trying to say we should put his mates son in the side (Kyle Flanagan). His co worker on fox and ex coach.
he did the same with his mate renoylds saying the dogs should resign him..

he doesn’t care about the club just talks what suits his mates.

No top class half on the market now, or next year, so Barrett has to change the tactics. That's all that's available to him to change up the attack. It's not working at present 3 games in and Flanno hasn't shown any promise he can work with Burton either. If he drasticly improves in reserves and Wakeham fails, then look at Flanno then...but gee won't we be desperate by then and so far off the pace behind the front runners.

If Barrett is a coach who can't work that out then the spotlight must be put on all coaches, and the GM Football, as well, to start scoring points.

More amazing insight from a "pundit" that we lack a 7 ( and a 9 )

Ummm they're comparing stats from when he played Centres to the halves.talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel for news content.
Yeh at Penrith he was better at centre stats wise. Also was in the premier team. So they are comparing apples to oranges

Burton is doing just fine for mine.

He is the long term answer but he was unlikely to be a instant fix and was going to need time to adjust playing fulltime in the halves with a new team.

He has also had to deal with a lot of team changes around him and Tbaz has done him no favours in settling in with no combinations allowed to gel.

Except that Burton knows it's so much harder here playing with us rather than Penrith. Got to factor that fact in on his form and at settling in with a different side.

We are a work in progress and will continue to be so for a while yet.

I just hope Burton can see incremental improvements to the team.

Make Burton halfback and get him as many touches on both side of the field as possible. Out of all of the changes Baz keeps making, he's ignoring the most obvious one.

The sky is falling in, a player at a new club 3 games in. We all know he needs a decent halves partner but it’s not like there’s 100 floating around. Unfortunately for us we also have 3 options that aren’t that strong.

I stopped reading this pile of shit after a few sentences. "Statistics obtained" lmfao what a wank.

They said he's had no line breaks? Maybe so, but he broke the line to score a try. Also, what hope did any runner have in the conditions last week? Other than that we've really only had one game in good conditions. NQ was average to bad.

I noticed last week, he couldn't get a good purchase on the ball, because it was so wet, so his kicks were affected. The probably gloss over that fact.
