Opinion Matt Burton following JT's foot steps

[Freakzilla]

Lets just see who plays and how they go. Would you rather brooks and liddle from the tigers then. and who knows how josh cook will go at hooker or how wakeham and averillo will go in a better side. The knights have pearce and brailey and have the 2nd worse attack in the game the tigers had brooks/benji and farah and they were still shit. players like burton can hopefully make others look better. look at jarhome hughes. he wasn't a halfback 3 years go and look at him now. I guarentee he wouldn't be that good in other teams. We have good players around our team now so it won't be as bad.

Having good players in your team can make the players around them look better than what they are.

Yes I would easily take Brooks and Liddle over Flanagan and JMK if they were on the same money.

But they're not.

And I wouldn't anyway.

Liddle shits on every hooker on our roster. Brooks shits on every halfback on our roster.

Don't be a pessimist. We have something the Cowboys didn't have - the game's latest super coach.

Wasn’t Graham Murray coach?

Liddle shits on every hooker on our roster. Brooks shits on every halfback on our roster.

Not much of an achievement though.

Disagree. I know I'm against the fashionable trend of hating on our players, but Liddle isn't clearly better than JMK, they are probably about the same level, and depending on what you are looking for JMK is a better option.

We saw JMK 9 times in 2021, Liddle played 20 times. On the basis Liddle had a more consistent playing season, and played in a more successful team, you'd expect him to have better numbers, but a lot of the time he doesn't.

On a per game basis, JMK is better than Liddle for Kicks and Offloads, and has a substantially lower rate of Missed Tackles, Errors and Penalties. They are almost the same for Tackle Breaks and Run Metres, in fact they are both in the top 7 for run metres per game. Liddle has a higher rate of try assists and line breaks, but he also has one of the worst rates of try causes defensively, even worse than Katoa, 10 in 20 games. JMK had 1 in 9 games. It is a similar story for line break causes, Liddle had 13 in 20, JMK 2 in his 9 games.

On balance, I actually prefer JMK. He offers slightly less in attack, but a lot more in defence and consistency.

I just hope he doesn't inherent jt's laugh.

That was my point.

Not exactly a repudiation, would you like to supply some reasons for your opinion other than you have the hate glasses on for JMK?

FOLLOWING POST WILL COME BACK IN COUPLE YEARS TIME WHEN WE WIN THE PREIMERSHIP

He's actually a outside back mark my words .

You might be right mate. I’m also seeing him as a centre, or a running 5/8, but he sure can play.

Hope he fires at 5/8.

 

[Dog’n’Bone]

Your best post of all time.

if that’s his best then the bar must’ve been set comically low

the comparison is a poor one. Burton and Thurton nothing alike as footballers.
