I still have something else I want to say but if I speak I'll be in big trouble lol. Had to make this thread because I'm sure 15 ***** would be tagging me in random threads :tearsofjoy:

If this sparks his form im all for it. But up until his chip and chase (including 4 rounds) hes been very very over rated and sub par. And we call shit as we see it. Or at least i do.

Burton needs a foil, if he has an off game we don't stand a chance.

Try assist for Reed, Burton with one and some big plays from both of them.

Perham I don't expect to be a superstar he is finding his feet.

We need another player to contribute to tries and better kicking.

Hel be the NSW five eighth next year. The next 18 months for him will be phenomenal once he gets more talent around him and we don’t have so many injuries. If he gets a quality 7 then look the fuck out

Overrated at present. Will hopefully get better. Field goal was great though. I agree he is a better centre, but we have no other options at five eighth and hopefully he will play this role better in future, especially if we get an organising half.

Reynolds coming on gave Burton the time and space to do what he needed. The defence had another person to focus on. If that isn’t the glaring sign to cc that Flanagan just isn’t the right fit then I don’t know what is.

Anyone who refers to him as a centre from now on should be banned. He carried us to victory. That's why he's so hyped. He's a special talent. He showed massive balls putting that kick in for Fox and with the blindside run and kick before that but you want players like him to back their instincts.. And that Field Goal was tough..

Hopefully that's the win that sparks our season and gets Burton on a good run of form that we badly need to win games..
I'm glad the centre stood up when needed. He has always had potential, never denied that.

Now back it up against a good team.

The Cowboys were a top 4 team last year. He's a half. Always has been.. He was just out of form. Everything he did tonight proved he's a half. Just needs to improve some of those kicks and mix them up better. Other than that he was great. Aside from his keys plays in attack, his defence impressed me the most as he's missed a lot of tackles this year.

Having something better than the complete dud and ultimate momentum killer at halfback would help. Imagine how much better Burton and the rest of the team could play if we got some sort of production and threat out of the halfback?

He played well Let’s hope he backs it up this week against south’s and doesn’t go back into shell and does nothing 1 good game doesn’t make him a great player

Burto played well tonight. Set up our first try with a lovely grubber in goal for Preston. Took the line on and crossed the line only to be held up. Blind side chip and chase which nearly led to a try and kicked the winning field goal. Not sure why a lot of folks are bagging him tonight.
