Burton

[JHeatho9]

Yeah I just thought how typical of ivan it would be now that the news has broken that our young and up coming player Jakes Av will most likely get first crack at 5/8 he would release him to force Barrett to make a tough decision

A good decision none the less

 

[Bulldogs09]

Fucking hope so. Doubt it now.

This thread is in the shitter, all speculation
We want that good oil

One out of left field....

Could anyone see Burton playing lock if Flanno and Avo (FLAVO) lol have such a good partnership that would be crazy to break up in 2022?

Just a thought???

I wish we had Burton now, then we don’t have this dilemma.

Burton will carve up in 5/8, so imo if Averillo does do great chances are he’ll (maybe) do great at fullback too.

He is still pretty young and filling out his frame. I couldn’t imagine he would be battle hardened enough to make the change to back row at this stage of his career.

We have an abundance of players capable of playing lock/second row. He's too talented to be wasted playing lock. I'd rather flick Flanagan and have two running halves than shift Burton to lock or lose Avo.

they both need to be in the spine IMO

It could happen over one season & 2 off seasons...

I think with the tweaks to the rules the more capable ball players in a team the better!! This was always the case until the changes in the interpretation of the rules from the early to mid 1990's....If we had a good/great 6 & 7, good 1 then a fantastic big bodied ball playing middle in the form of Burton we could potentially catch up with the curve... the roorters forwards were dynamic in 2020 prior to Radleys injury & he wouldn't have the speed or ball playing ability of Burton. Anyway however it goes position wise in 21 & 22....all this speculation has me excited for a new season to start which has not been the case for too many years....up the Dogs & fluck em all!!

I know to take with pinch of salt ..

I swear it’s a bunch of kids that make these pages. Theres so many

I don't know about you guys but I reckon Kyle Flanagan will only be with the dogs until his old man becomes head coach at the sharks again. We will probably end up with Burton and Avo in the spine together no matter what.

That’s insane. Someone needs to kick and organise the team.

I just think Burton is the better 5/8th of the lot and should play in his best position instead of moving to accomodate someone else. Which leaves just one position and I choose Avo over Flanagan.

Sharks were in the mix for Flanagan and he chose us. If the master plan was to play under his dad he would of joined the Sharks. Flanagan will be with us for at least 3 years imo.

But neither Burton or Avo are genuine organising halves. We can’t have two running 5/8ths in the halves. We need a game manager.. I think either burton will have to go to lock, or Jake will have to either move to the centres, or try to challenge Allen for the fb spot. In any case, we will have quality players challenging each other for spots and that’s a good place to be in.... but I think Flanagan is assured a place. Barrett apparently thinks very highly of him and he’s the best game manager at the club.

Who the fuck is Zack?!

Who the fuck is Zack?!

Screech's friend from Saved by the Bell. You know, the handsome sidekick that was banging all the cheerleaders to cover up for his clear gayness

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

Can we not put the boot into Flanno just yet guys
He’s our first genuine half in years. Hoping he carves up and gives the biggest headache in deciding our halves partners.

This is how I would do it...

I'd play Flanno 1 off the ruck in attack controlling the game on both sides of the field & play Burt as a 6 outside him on the left side, with Avo outside Flanno on the right side playing as a 5/8 for that edge.

So essentially we got 2 permanent 5/8's with one playing either side of the ruck inside our centres.
The more points of attack the better.

Then we have to shuffle Flanno out of the middle in defence, maybe outside the bigger body of Burt on the left.
