This is an important post because it highlights that our ability to keep Burton long term is impacted by what support he can get from his halfback.Without a game managing and controlling half I dont know what MORE people expect from Burton. If we dont get a good half back to play alongside Burton it will also hamper his development.
We need to find a good halfback from somewhere and quick or it'll not just continue hurting the team but your prized recruit in Burton.
I never said Moses was our one and only answer, I merely said he was a good option from whats available. Another season or god forbid another two seasons of a 7 like Flanno and all this will have been worth nothing.
This decision therefore affects 2 positions. We have already paid Burton money on "potential". We need to ensure we do what we can to unlock that potential.
Personally, I'd like to see Burton take more responsibility but im willing to see what he can do next year. I certainly don't want both half position hampered by players playing below the minimum expected.
On that note, I'm bloody glad Josh Reynolds is given a train and trial role. Even if he plays 1 or 2 games, I'm hoping he can set the tone of a running game from the halves, because both Burton and Flanagan have been poor
