Makes Tony Williams look like a rep player.

Another big money big name forward with zero fucking effort, impact and halves to be able to use him.

how can we judge kikau here when we had barely any ball on their line. We got it wide to him once and he set crichton up. He needs a big year but today, we killed ourselves big time unfortunately. Kikau one of the most devastating line runners in the game, was just taking hit ups, dont think he got hit on a line once, maybe for the try thats it. His mistake was poor but lets be honest, the attack today was just non existent

I don’t think he’s run a line in his entire time at the club.

We arent using him at all, he can ball play aswell as he showed at penrith, we drop ball, make him do shit loads of defence, make him take 1 up carries because our props cant make a yard, then dont even hit him on a line. Shocking really

Burton will kill this guy's career. Hutch gave a nice pass to put him through to setup Crittas try.

Dear Ciraldo,

Burton to Center, bring in Sexton, Kiraz to Wing, Tracey to fullback.

Sincerely, Every Fan
Who is your new 6? Not defending Burton(I don't even think he would be that good for us at centre tbh)just curious about who plays 6.

Totally right. We bought him because of what he did for Penrith and we’re using him in a way that doesn’t give him the chance to do what he did for Penrith. The try last night shows what happens when we use him correctly. I don’t mind him having to a lot of defence as he’s a good defender who hits hard, but using him as a prop is criminal. Faamausili played 20 minutes last night for 13 tackles and 29m run, Hughes and Morrin not much better, so we carried three middles who contributed basically nothing. When that happens the rest of the forwards are doing too much and have nothing left in attack.

You can’t expect anything from the middles when we just defended for the first 40 minutes. Way too many mistakes and Parra were almost perfect.

Sums up recent poor recruitment. Not the type of player we need.
We cannot give him a foundation to produce his best as have no go forward and lack creativity in the halves/spine.
Luxury player that better teams can afford to carry for his 10 minutes of impact. Was always going to struggle with our rabble and significant waste of $.
Does not address any of our most pressing weaknesses.
We should not throw decent $’s at another player that is not a proven 1, 6, 7, 8 or 10.

He played ok with the limited opportunity he got.
which will be the case all year for players like him, Critta and Fox with the foundation we've built.
