Burton is a half

[The DoggFather]

Burton gets criticised for Kikau having a shit season and guys like Xerri, Critta, Fox etc not playing to their potential.

On a night when Kikau dominates and is having one of his best seasons, Fox scores 3 tries and Xerri has his best game since he came back, Burton has to get credit for giving them early ball and giving them chances to show their ability. He did a lot more good things than just that pass to Fox.

His kicking game at the end and long kicking game in general as well as the conversions were his main issues tonight.

I see it as a lose-win situation, if we are right about Burton, then we lose as we have a dud.

If we are wrong about him, then we win by finding a good 5/8th.

I'd rather be wrong tbh

So we're happy to let our 900k running half just be a link man?

I watched the 2019 NSW SOO with Burton and Taafe in the halves to mainly sus out Taafe D. What i saw was a Burton who i would choose over Cleary... Yeah that fukn good! Setting up tries and line breaks through kicks, short balls, long balls, offloads and scoring tries with his running game... Untouchable, MOM, crazy good.

The main difference between 19 yr old Burto and 23 yr old Burton... Energy. Energy he brings on an inconsistent basis.

Oh and Taafe, good with ball, hides in defence.

Shown real signs of improvement in the last two games, the over the top floater pass to JAC was world class and showed great vision hope he keeps improving.

Burton was great last night. A few poor kicks at the end but he should not have to do that, he isn't a halfback.

We are a decent halfback short of winning last night for so many reasons. Burton I'll say forever, will be an elite 5/8 once we fix our no7.

An elite 5/8 can close out games. Munster did exactly that.

Outside of his try assist, pretty big catch and pass passenger last night, nothing has changed. Our centre playing fullback was kicking for majority of the game. This bloke is murdering our salary cap

Geez you have some rediculous takes on things!! Burton is one of the cheapest 5/8s in the NRLol. Get a grip.

 

[Bulldog Joe]

Did more than the current Australian five eighth Munster.

If he’s not on train and trial he’s earning too much

 

[Berries]

No one actually believes he is a decent 5/8. Have to be trolling

Burton isn’t elite 6
But he’s the best 6 at Belmore

 

[PeteHazz]

At the moment, the two most important people actually think he's a decent 5/8; Cameron Ciraldo and Phil Gould

 

[The DoggFather]

That's fine. When um proven wrong ill admit it. He hasn't come close to proving me wrong which sucks tbh

Which one would you want in our team?

 

[Bulldog Joe]

Which one would you want in our team?

Was talking about Friday night’s game, I didn’t say he was a better player than Munster.

Well isn’t Munster on like 1.2 million? Imagine the complaints here when he does nothing like Fridays game if he was playing for us.

You both didn't answer....

With all due respect to you I didn’t say Burton was better than Munster I mentioned he did more than him on Friday night.

 

[GA45]

With all due respect to you I didn’t say Burton was better than Munster I mentioned he did more than him on Friday night.

And that’s the comment I agreed on. Then with all the soft cocks on here imagine the complaints Munster would cop for his game Friday and he’s being paid 1.2 million ?
