Burton is overrated.

Surely even the biggest Burton haters would admit he was very good today. He looks to have shaken off the rust of a disrupted preseason and was back to his running best..

He had 1 try, 141 metres, 5 tackle busts, 1 line break, 1 line break assist, 1 offload, 11 tackles (most importantly 0 missed), 260 kicking metres..

He's developing a great connection with Mahoney back in behind the marker which is how he scored that try.

His first thought was run .... some of us had been crying out for him to do so.

Best game as a Bulldog in my view.

If Burton can have that same good running game next week like he did today against a very weak defender in Shaun Johnson then its try time baby

We all do man.. Reed there helps him get back to that. I still think he's massively underdone physically which is why he's been quiet the first two games. Hopefully as the season goes on he keeps being that aggressive as a runner because it opens up everything for him and the rest of the team..

I hate when people say this. A running 5/8 is not a pretend 5/8 and strictly a centre. In the modern game the 5/8 with the right controlling halfback is predominantly a ball runner. Cody Walker, Dylan Brown etc

You know nothing about Rugby League.

If we had a 7 with even a little bit of creativity and a couple of props to win the middle this team and most importantly Burton would flourish. I have no doubt the people in charge will be all over this. The path ahead is looking like the real thing this time. The next few years should give Doggies supporters something to cheer about.
I have confidence in the system.
