Burton is young, but he is going to be a star. He’s a footballer for sure.
We need to retain this kid.
He’s an out and out ball running 5/8 in a Fittler (no where near yet) mode. He has good hands, a good kicking game, and a great step.
We need to realise it’s time to get serious and build a good long term spine. Burton and Mahoney are a great start. We already have them which is half the fricken battle. Perhaps Toia will be the fullback we need? Who knows.
People have to realise, Burton is not a Keary or Munster “yet”. That said, a younger Munster or Keary (21) in this team, with these shit players apart from maybe 3 guys, and this shit coach, and this even shitter support team and conditioner would not be able to do SQUAT! Give the kid some time, but we’ve got a deadset keeper here, and next year if nothing else, we have 2 out of 4 LONG TERM spine players that we should build around, like the good clubs do (Storm, Penrith, Chooks).
We need a restructure, but Burton should NOT be part of that.
