Give moses the leagues club

[D0GMATIC]

Burton needs a creative aggressive halves partner

Burton needs to be creative and aggressive himself

 

[Bazildog]

Unless Gus is an even better poker player than I thought, its propbably time to move on from this thought. If he is bluffing and he somehow comes up trump with this deal then we should give the Leagues Club to Gus, not Moses.

Moses is not the answer, Burton needs an organiser he isn't an organising half, very few 5/8ths are. You probably have to go back to Thurston (who played the majority at 7 anyway) and Lockyer (who will be an immortal) to find a good 5/8 that is an organiser. It is why I've been saying for 2 years, forget everything if we don't get an organising halfback and a quality genuine fullback there is issues for years to come. We may have lucked out getting the Broncos bloke at halfback but we still need a fullback and before anyone says Crighton I'll just say this, I am far from convinced he's a FB, was horrible on Sat night there our of position all night long

A bomb is not creative. A bomb is what they have been doing for the last 10 years with no success

15 try assists last year is not creative?

Most of them were kicks to the Fox though. Doing the same thing repeatedly isn't really creative. Id like to see him putting blokes through gaps with good passes, or venturing to the middle or right hand edge occasionally to prove he isn't just a left centre

First half play from Flanagan summed it up for me. Can’t remember the exact time but think we had a repeat set and were pressuring their goal line. Shift on to the right and he fucking turns it back inside to RFM ( who did pretty well with what Flanagan gave him).
Just a nothing play that stifled the momentum instantly and showed no thought or planning or, perish the thought, creativity.
Think it was still 6-4 at that point but instantly pissed me off, he’s had long enough, trial or no trial.

I thought it was strange in the first half that Flanno was doing the long kicking and Burto short, surely they are better suited the other way around. Perhaps it was CCs idea to try something different

 

[Blueandwhiteblood1968]

Flanagan is a disgrace to the jersey

What's the point of throwing big $ at Moses when we need more than a halfback to fix this wreck, we also need a fullback because atm Avercado, Perham are shite!!

 

[Doggone1975]

I really don’t understand why the continue to play him 6. Back to back premiers didn’t, the blues didn’t and the kangaroos didn’t. Team is going no where with burton and flanno in the halves

I doubt Cleary and luai play halves all year only to be overlooked for burton

He showed he had backbone in origin. But he can’t do it alone. He can’t be what he’s not. Creativity - he’s not crafty like a Sherwin for instance. The other half need to possess this. We need both halves with a complimentary skill set

 

[D.O.W.]

On Burton’s performance, we don’t know what CC said to him behind the scenes in terms of managing his health to be fit for R1 and to use the game in getting some k’s into the legs.. we simply aren’t that close to the inner sanctum - remembering we have no decent back up, heck, we’re still short of a 7.

No doubt CC must have sanctioned his bomb as this puts massive strain on his hammy’s so at a minimum, he’s been restrained.

Let’s call it for what it was in defence of Burto, a trial, and save the criticism for NRL season proper. Most teams have a legit back up halve, we have didly squat.

Origin showed he is a better centre than half.

Yes precisely, he a centre come 5/8 - that is why he needs a real half back to share the load. Moses would have been perfect.

where did that get the team?

He is not a 6. Even blind Freddy can see that

 

[AlzzBulldog]

where did that get the team?

Still our most creative half lol

 

[Geoff Chambers]

Grub couldn’t game manage in his prime and we want him to do it now. We are so fucked at halfback sigh

Indeed. Way too much expectation from the vast majority on him for this year, his new hairline must = new skills not yet seen from him.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Patience...

 

[Teddybear]

Hynes led the sharks around the park brilliantly yeserday, it was seamless, like the conductor at the symphony orchestra, everything just flowed at high speed.
Meanwhile at the bulldogs......

 

[DaBulldog]

Flanagan's contract end this year, so what is our plan now we've pulled out of the race for Moses?
