Needs some boxing lessons, worst stance ever, gate swinging???
Tough call, kid is 22 years old, basically a baby playing in a massive game fighting a bloke ten years older than him who is a veteran in the arena.

Even with two blokes on him Burton still stood his ground and let a few fly too.. Also remember Burton comes from an age were there is no fighting so he was never expecting that first Gagai punch.

Turn it up… took the tough carry into heavy traffic when Cobbo got KO’d then copped a dead set bin worthy swinging arm from Tino not long after, before the Gagai incident where Tino came in and got him in a head lock when he was trying to throw a few back and defend himself. Should have been given more of a chance to throw the bombs up but Cleary tried to take all the kicking duties in the second half and we all know how that turned out.
It was clear QLD had decided before the game to target him for extra attention. That is what he needs to take home with him, after only one game they are already petrified of him. He is only going to get bigger and stronger from here.

NSW were stupid to not make Burton put up a few bombs in the last 10 minutes to try and force an error.. Burton had a game to forget, but so did most of the Blues players. The 2nd half they were defending their line the whole time..

Hopefully he can back up on Sunday night but I wouldn't be surprised if they gave him a rest considering some of the hits he copped from Tino and Gagai..
Need to give credit to Slater and QLD.
They had 4 hslfbacks firing on all cylinders plus a playmaking fullback.

DCE just took control kicking on 3rd and 4th tackle and turning the tired forwards around.

You cannot substitute brains in this game.

DCE just purely outsmarted NSW and he had Hunt, Harry and Dearden following him

Man QLD have always had old heads as their generals.. Look what happened when Maloney came in a few years back. NSW rely on raw talent which they lost this year.

Only reason Cleary does anything is because he has Payne next to him which QLD always need to throw bodies at, very easy to find a gap next to Haas.
