One thing for sure is that there are 3 or 4 better playmakers that are ahead of Burton.

Another headache is Wilson, he looks like he's ready for a full time spot in FG but we've got so many outside backs.
Burton has his moments but I just don’t think he’s a half when we need him to be. Same left side bomb , no urgency.

Let's be honest, his general kicking game is well below when you compare to the other halves.

Very exciting future, what they’re doing in the lower grades is looking really good, I haven’t been excited about the development side of the club for years, but it’s looking really positive ..

Bro his last run literally stopped before engaging the line.
Yeah that was peak Liam Knight clusterfuck game.

Let’s hope that’s out of his system now in pre season because our young bulls aren’t ready just yet and we’ll need to use this big dumb fuck.

Biggest problem is the depth we have in the backs tbh so many of the boys would expect to start round 1, good problem to have! Thought the front row boys were very refreshing Posa/Hughes and the young boy Todd. Knight was just trying to hard I think he’ll be better for the run after CC gives him the don’t pass the ball talk

Highly depends on how Hughes and King progress but You'll have kids like Toddy, Hopoi and Hayes coming off the bench who will probably also win a comp as starters one day.

2 in this decade is a high possibility.
Todd is 10000% him. Problem is what happened between now and players like him debuting.

That’s an exciting youth. How good was kuatoga and faamasuli. Hayward Hughes Sarami sexton Todd and xerri were very pleasing too.

Knight was fucking shit.
Kautoga, Faamasuli and Hughes, made me a lot more confident in our middle.
Gus said some of those boys will surprise and I’m beginning to believe.

I'm sold on Hughes, just not quite sure about the other two as yet

I think Ciraldo has a lot of selection headaches coming up in the backs and halves. We have too many good players lol.

Papalii is very impressive, Skelton too. But how do you fit them in our backs? Still have JAC, Kiraz, Tracey and Critta to come in. Good to see we have great depth though. Also have more halves than we need. Burton isnt in the top 2 halves at the club right now, but how do you fit him in the backs?

Player who impressed me most was Salmon. Like having a 3rd half.
