dont really Want to be talking about a rooster player , but talk to anyone that’s not a roosters / riff / dogs Supporter who don’t have skin in the argument or have blinkers on and overwhelming response will be walker
firstly defence wasn’t the issues being discussed .. yet to see the best of burton yet does not mean he is better than Walker or has more skill ..
so being at a shit joint is the reason that burton cannot show his skill as a 5/8.. well then can we not blame the forwards , halfbacks , coaches , burton even and others for jmk being shit and not showing his skill .. maybe jmk is slow at the Ptb because he knows his forwards will not be at the line to pass the ball or the team can’t catch and hold onto a ball , or he takes wrong options because the halves are mutes and not directing or organising the attack or even calling for the ball like every other half in the comp that organises attack.
burton has not demonstrated that he has playmaking skill or that he engages the line like a 5/8 to try put on plays, even if they don’t work out . He either passes early or when he runs to The line he runs like a centre and no subtley to it
is burton good yes , doss he have potential to be better yes , but Is he better than the younger Walker or more skilful right now .. the answer is no and I’m yet to be convinced that burton rightful position is 5/8 , I think he showed last year he is a centre or even be a great ball playing lock .
