News ‘He’s not an NRL halfback’: Buzz’s Bulldogs call amid club’s 1-3 start

Galvin is not a better half lol

So far this season he is the better of the two..

Fuck off with the Potter narrative please, heard it way too much. We sucked under him, only threw the ball around because we couldn't make the 8.
How's NSW cup going with him in charge atm.

Thank you for calling it out. We only performed well because of the new coach bounce and were told to play without any structure.

Mr Burton has had a long enough to show his promise as a five eight.
Unfortunately success is measured around wins.
Burton is probably the best ball runner in the competition.
Burton is down the bottom in creativity as a half in the competition, he is not a genuine ball player.
He puts unnecessary and added pressure on our halfback to create because of this.
Has had more than enough chances.
Everyone is sick and tired of our season being over by Easter.
I think Matt Burton is our best player in our team but he is not a 5/8. He has become very predictable.
Time for change.

That's great but that's the not the context of the post you quoted

I replied to a post that said Galvin has shown more in 3 games than Burton has in 3 years

Nowhere is it in context if

1. Burton hasn't justified his selection in the halves
2. Galvin or Burton being the better player
3. Burton is a better centre

The context of the post was whether Burton has shown more than Galvin and as it stands right now at this moment, Burton has shown more.

Whether it remains like that is future context that no one knows

Like I have said previously we got the wrong Penrith asst.. Webster has a far more engaging personality..CC is a drill seargent.. will be gone at end of year...
We should have got Shane Flanno but fat Gus can't control him.. he was what we needed..
This club is light years away from sustained success if ever

Webster walked into a decent team and recruited well for his debut season.
CNK, Metcalf, Walker, Barnett, Nikoure and Ford. This season, RTS.

Johnson had a career season and their forward pack is immense. Even our “rejects” Montoya and DWZ were good last season. Most of the warriors squad would make our starting 13. You could put CC there and he would do something similar as Webster. Different circumstances imo.

No arguments there.
One thing is for sure Galvin has a 66% win percentage (and against quality teams) which is not bad for a newbie.
Galvin is ahead of Burton this year hands down! No ifs or buts!

Relax a little… Galvin is playing behind a monster forward pack and with an experienced organising half leaving Galvin to do his own thing

I always see this argument for different players but it doesn't always apply for vision and execution.. Burton's strike rate around good ball/good opportunities is low and hasn't exactly improved much since the days of him filling in at five-eighth for Penrith.

Pretty funny, Tigers were last year’s wooden spooners.

Pretty funny, they aren’t this years wooden spooners. Galvin didn’t play last year so last year is of no relevance

Pretty funny we will be this years wooden spooners and Burton will be our 5/8

Benji has showed the confidence to bring Galvin into a team that’s won back to back spoons, played woeful in the final trial vs Dragons and hasn’t exactly been a good environment off the field. Galvin is younger than Papalii and ONeill.

Katoa the young half from Dolphins is the same age as Papalii and ONeill he's now into his second season of NRL. He was blooded by Bennett round 1 last year they were smacked in the final trial, were widely tipped to not win a game all season, short priced spoon favourites and their round 1 game was against the Roosters.

We are a much better club than both Tigers and Dolphins. We have marquee players which Dolphins still don’t have. We are more off field stable than Tigers. So we have a better environment plus we have Gus which Tigers and Dolphins don’t have.

So no excuses not to be encouraging and blooding players more importantly stick by them.

I reckon if we played Hutch Sexton halves, Critta Burton centres, Kiraz Fox/Wilson wingers, things would be better in attack.. last year we struggled for a decent amount of field position. I feel like with all the possession we had against Souths, had Sexton been in the side we score at least one more try.
