Just wondering, other than Moses, exactly what 7 would actually complement Burto.
We are seeing some worrying flaws in his game.
Yes there's plenty of reasons why he is not looking great atm, but there's def parts missing in his 5/8 skillset.
Finding him a suitable partner to jell with his game will be difficult?
I don't think Burton's problems have anything to do with who plays 7.
A lot of his problems stem from the fact our forwards are DOMINATED on a regular basis, and we simply do not get good ball.
But with the ball he gets he is reluctant to run and refuses to take it to the line.
Worryingly for me are the amount of times he dosen't take ownership of a situation and simply shuffles it off to someone in a worse position.
Not the mindset i want in my star player.
People will say he is young, give him time, and i agree to a point, but he is 22 not 18, has won a premiership and is a SOO player. For the talent he possesses he should be performing WAY better than he is.
I thought a new position must have been created yesterday ... DESIGNATED KICKER !!!
Hopefully CC and co can get the best out of him.
In respect to your original question ....We need a half who demands the ball and is not afraid to take ownership of the team.
Unfortunately these number 7's are usually experienced, expensive and hard to come by.
