Reynolds, Townsend, Hynes.

It makes you cry.

Gus said we'd develop within :(
This 7 problem was not rectifield.
It's probably Gus' biggest challenge/failure since he started July? 2021.

I know he'll be on to it now but it has been a def missed opportunity with those 3 above being snapped up by Broncs, Cows and Sharks.
You can rule out Reynolds from that. We didn't have the Mil to spend.

Having his face caved in by a thug probably dented his confidence:

Pomfret looked set to cement his first grade place at fullback with Illawarra in 1982 but in a match against Wests he was left with a broken nose and fractured cheekbone after an altercation with opposing forward Bob Cooper.

He retired at 23 y.o.
He was 26. DOB 8/12/1957
retired 1983

Surely there's a Half Back in ESL second division that's better than him? Hell, pick up the next passed out druggy off Andrew John's front lawn & he'd be better.

Lewis Dodd from St Helens but his done acl this year and signed long-term unfortunately. Will Pryce was the other one but he been spending most of the time at fullback when not suspended and has also signed with Knights from 2024 trying to get him for next year

He always has been rubbish and will always be rubbish.

If he was a dog he would of been put out of his misery.

Just shows how bad Wakeham & Biondo-Mbye are if they can't get a start over him.
IMO they are playing him over Wakes and BBO for 1 of 2 reasons,
(1) The are afraid of him crying and upsetting the Fox arseholes, who are no doubt mates of his dad.
(2) they still have hopes of some other club taking him off our hands.
IMHO our club (probably due to reading TK) has made another big mistake in letting JMK go, he would have made a much better HB than Flamingo.

I'm sure that Burtons form has suffered big time either due to the poor service he gets or Flamingos general play.
If we don't sign a half decent HB before Nov 1, whats the bet Burton will sign somewhere else for 2024.

Burton can't mature carrying the team and learning his trade at the same time.

Totally agree mate but don’t worry we have better players arriving in our off season.
Let’s hope Burton extends come November and we see a different version in 2023.

this. if he just had to focus on his own game without carrying a side who provided him with an inept halves partner and reserve grade standard 9, im sure he’d be progressing without issue
