I don't know if Burns was in the sook camp. But it would have been nice to have him for NSW cup, bit of experience around the young fellas. The biggest concern is Alamoti, so highly rated but has flopped hard, it shows the flaws in the previous regimes development system. I think he will eventually develop into a solid FG player, Melbourne should pick him up tbh.
I personally just think Alamotis weight and muscle gain negated the speed and agility he showed as a kid. Said it a million times.
Burns I imagine is a line ball decision, but you can’t really have outside backs so injury prone all the time.
You don’t expect that from centres and wingers. You expect it from forwards who get bashed up and you’d tolerate it from a half (like Foran) because of how influential they are.
People will say ‘Burns played on one leg and showed sicc courage yo’ but…
Why picks courageous one legged player over someone oat htwo legs you know?
Few good centres out there too.
We could poach Kayo iro, aitken has been shopped, Brad Parker still unsigned. Also drew Hutchinson can play there too, we signed him. Maybe even for that reason.
