What a performance. He showed his toughness today and the classy skills and vision he had at Souths by putting Averillo into space several times. The effort on his chase on their first try despite being injured was inspirational.

What happens to him when JAC and Kiraz come back?
He doesn't play is the short answer.

Outstanding today idk how one poster here said there were a ton of fuckups lol
Creative player who had a day out and under duress too, has very good game awareness.

Burns on 1 leg made more meters and post contact meters than pangai.

I am not a massive fan of him and with all other troops fit and ready to go would not be in the side....BUT what a gutsy effort from him today. He could have quite easily gone into his shell and let the injury take control...instead he lifted and gave it his all. Tough man indeed and his effort in attempting to stop that try was phenomenal...If that could be bottled and distributed we could be unbeatable...

Burns just recorded a troll message to a Dragons fan with a bunch of bulldogs fans after the game.

The legend that keeps on giving hahaha.

I did share the video but realised probs not a good idea re privacy issues and i dont trust you ***** haha.

Tried to upload it as attachment without link, didnt work.

Anyways, burns is a legend!

Played like a man who knows he has to give it everything just to get a spot in the backline, was absolutely massive today and I doubt we win without him. Played almost the entire game on one leg, 3 line break assists, 6 tackle busts, 163m run.

He put Averillo into a 15m hole so that he had no one in front of him except for Sloan. And he did it twice. As well as all the tough carries. Easy Man of the Match
Him and Avo as a pair won us the match and i thinks it tough to split the two as we don’t win without either of them today.
Burns Performance of the Match for playing through injury and being pivotal to our points along with the effort areas when clearly compromised.

Man of the Match Averillo for icing those
Moments would be hard to argue as well.

Great to see both of them playing well, as they would have been at long odds to be our game breakers before kick off. That in itself is a welcome sight.

Plays well when not broken
Correction, plays even better when not broken.

Bloke was on one leg out there and was still MOM in many people’s eyes.

Outstanding performance all things considered.

When everyone's fit (LOL) I'd have Burns on the bench in the Okunbor role. Offers cover 1-5 and I honestly think he could probably do a handy job as an edge forward in required.

Maybe Burns becomes that versatile big body on the bench? Okonbur out and Burns in, maybe.
