Burton bashing, it's getting contagious, all the lemmings playing follow the leader.

FMD, just kicks blah blah blah. Bullshit! Burton scored 4 tries, not enough but not nothing. Managed 16 try assists, that's more than Munster and more than Luai, same as Dylan Brown and 1 less than Reynolds. Same number of line breaks as Cleary, Tino, Manu, NAS, etc. More line break assists than Tedesco, Wighton, Moses, Grant, Hammer, Dearden, Townsend etc.

In our team he is heavily marked, we don't have many other quality players that take the opposition's attention aways from him. It's rather amazing that he has the same numbar of lines breaks as Cleary and Manu who have quality players around them to attract the opposition defence. More try assists than Munster, FMD considering the quality players Munster has around him to score the tries that he is assisting.

Can Burton do more, hell yes, but saying he does nothing but put up a bomb on the 5th is just nonsense.

Hard to beat Newcastle fans.
A few fries short of a Happy Meal.


Not strictly true...some dogs fans have said as much. Not many, granted. But we do have the stupidest supporter base in the competition, and that is a scientifically quantifiable fact.

The current prime minister talks a lot and says nothing at the same time.

At the end he said he doesn't know where it came from.
