My only guess is that we are less interested in the 2pts per conversion, and more interested in giving Burton goal-kicking practice/experience since he is the longer term prospect of the two.
He needs about 10 years experience to be any good lol, kicking at 46% right now. Flanagan, Averillo and probably even Schoupp are better options.

Burton is shit

I am soooo sure Flanno was a sharp shooter but he's been totally shit at the Dogs. Maybe our coaching is shit in kicking as well

That’s what it seems like. Likely hood of flanno being around next year will be slim. So just build Burtos confidence up, especially in fatigue situations.

In saying that. Kid has a huge boot. But he seems to struggle when the pressure is on. I remember he missed a few field goals 2 years ago at panthers. Clunked one 40 out a few weeks ago for us against manly maybe. But give him a line drop out and he can launch it 60 on the fly.

It’s either he doesn’t have time to gather himself or he is just under pressure?

Still a young lad though. His best years are definitely ahead. Hope we lock him up long term.

Doesn’t matter who kicks, we can’t score enough trys for the 2 Point conversions to make any difference.

We lost to manly by 1 point in a match where Burton missed 2 goals. Literally we kick one of those two misses and we win.

Have four kickers goal kicking all day and find the best at each angle, one conversion could mean the difference, a small but vital aspect.

Need Cooper Cronk as our halves coach, even though dumbass was a half himself at Dragons.

Careful Flanagun might respond. He must be saving his energy for the game. He kicks well when he does kick though.
