It's a halves pairing meaning it's two of them that take responsibility, not just one. The best 6s take responsibility and lead the side alongside their halfback which is what Burton fails to do. This is exactly why we're playing with an extra half @ 13. Stick to your TRT or whatever else you're on.

How come Melbourne seem to lose when Hughes doesn’t play despite having Munster on big money ? Or are you telling me the Eels are so much better when Brown is the half and Moses is on the sidelines? The only 5/8 that seems to win without the big money halfback was Luia and well you hate him…

Munster $1.2 million
Brown $1.4 million getting paid 1.1 million at the eels. Both play with million plus dollar halves.

The hate for Burton on this forum is crazy. We have budget halves compared to most teams and we play a system where the lock receives the ball anyways.
 
Do you guys think Hughes plays FG or starts in cup to get some match fitness?
 

Report: Not even ‘the most freakish try we’ve ever seen’ can stop the Dogs​

ByDan Walsh​

Not even one of the freakiest tries rugby league has ever seen – from a man with little more than half a season playing NRL – could stop yet another Canterbury comeback.
Former Wallaby Mark Nawaqanitawase didn’t just tiptoe down the right-hand touchline in scoring a game-breaking chip and chase try in Friday night’s thrilling Roosters win over the ladder leaders. But he was still left hurting and kicking stones in the dressing rooms afterwards.

the glazing continues

And if Kikau doesn't play we don't win
If King doesn't play we don't win
And if Kiraz doesn't play we don't win
And if Xerri doesn't play we don't win
And if Hopoi doesn't play we don't win
And if Ciraldo doesn't coach we don't win.

But most of all, without Burtons boot, we don't win. His kicking was exceptional, even in th first half when everything else was going to shit.

Anyone mention Kiraz was in beast mode today?

Fkn running harder than usual.

Is that cahunt ever out of beast mode?? The second phase play he is generating off the back of yardage carry’s is fkn killing teams.

Opinions,
Is it legal for ball carriers to attack the defenders heads ?
Running at full throttle Leniu lifted his forearm forcefully attacking King's face, another time he ran with the same force this time he bent his shoulder into DSF's head causing his concussion, some might say DSF got his head in the wrong position,
IMO on both counts Leniu intended to cause damage and should be charged !

There was some thought given to restricting the yardage of bringing the ball back at the kick-off. These incidents can only reinforce the change as concern about concussion increases
 
We were fitter than them, by a long way too imo.

When we started getting equal share of the ball they couldnt go with us. We were bashing them 2nd half and they looked out of gas.

It took an error from Kiks and then a freak try to get them back in the game.

That’s our last three games in a Nutshell But every team that is playing us is throwing their best game of the year at us, we are learning to weather the storm and conceding less and less points in our first halves. Unless teams put 30 plus on us in the first 40 the show is over.

Our last three games have been pretty brutal and there will be another dip at some point but we are close to getting some troops back, so proud of the young players that have stood tall in the last few weeks.

It's enough to send us poor fans into nervous breakdowns but it really is like the rugby league version of rope-a-dope. We're letting our larger opponents throw all their haymakers at us in the first half and then our fitter team capitalises after they're badly fatigued and have nothing more to throw.

I don't know how long that will keep working and eventually there will be a team that defends their lead in a much more staunch fashion but you have to be impressed with the team's composure, confidence and fitness levels in some pretty dire circumstances over the past couple of weeks.

I reckon the only team that could defend a lead against us is possibly Melbourne but Origin will stretch them.
