Fuck upSo all you dump fucks know better then Freddy and Joey
I’ll take the two immortals side the truth hurts no need to get cranky about itFuck up
Considering how well they have both done with the NSW state of origin side, and some of the master stroke selections that where made in that side these two are obviously the fountains of all rugby league knowledge.I’ll take the two immortals side the truth hurts no need to get cranky about it
What I found most interesting is the speed at which Joey asked Freddie if Burton on a a half as soon the guy in the centre chanted the topic to the Bulldogs.Said he's a centre basically as he doesn't talk, count numbers or tell teammates what to do.
Freddy briefly mentioned fullback, to which Joey shutdown as we have Crichton and Taaffe.
I’m holding onto hope that because Taffe and Burton were 7 and 6 together in NSW under 19 origin a few years back they just might be a good combo. Probably a 20% chance of success but that has to be better than any alternative we have for 24?A lot will depend on how the fullback and lock roles play out - Sexton is not a great runner off the cuff player - Taffe from my memory was always a half in jun rep footy at Souths - if, and it is massive if, the forwards can just get through games not being trampled over from the 4th set of the game - the backs might start to look reasonable
Yep from memory, Penrity managed to win some of those games but not because of Burton. In fact they scraped over the line. It was their system that got them home.Tyrone May was literally preferred over him at times when Cleary/Luai would have at least one play. He also had shocking games. I remember Penrith got flogged by the Tigers (LOL) and Burton was a huge reason for that games result. Who cares if he played 6 is whole junior career it hasn’t worked out well for him in that position since then
I don't know why people think Burton would be any good at FB. Have they not watched Perham at FB.I'm not disputing how good he was as a player. Freddy also moved Braith to fullback at the Roosters, which was a disaster and always a crazy idea. Even if he is proven right about Burton, I'll take his opinions with a grain of salt despite his greatness as a player.
He was fullback for a lot of it UlehWhenever Luai was in Origin or cleary out, Burton was at 6 for Riff and he killed it.
Your point isn't actually a point. Burton played 6 all his junior career. Ain't a project douche
Definitely not in our side. Him and Reed defending together in the middle is a recipe for missed tacklesBurton probably end up at lock ala Brad Clyde (ish).
Cant tackle but...Burton probably end up at lock ala Brad Clyde (ish).
I wasn't suggesting Burton to fullback. I was talking about Freddy putting Braith there..I don't know why people think Burton would be any good at FB. Have they not watched Perham at FB.
Perham actually has a better passing game than Burton but even he can't chime in to a backline movement. Imagine how crap Burton would be?
Rubbish idea.
Our best 5/8th, FB and Centre has been Avo but we stuffed the kid and now he's leaving. Nice work coaches....
Yep but that’s the issue mate. Who is he blocking ?I agree that he is probably overrated as a centre, sees himself as a 1/2 and would go elsewhere if he wasn’t playing @1/2 with us.
I don’t think that is a good enough reason to persist playing him in the 1/2s if he doesn’t pick up his game up over the next 12 months.
Without significant development in his game he would be getting paid too much for too little & potential blocking us getting a better player at the position or developing one(hopefully!!).
