What’s really annoying me is we are “not rushing” a talent like Oluapo…. Why wouldn’t you? Dolphins are showing right now that if you’re good enough, you’re ready for NRL - so much so that in their historic first game, Bennett chooses a 19yo over a seasoned Milford with everything on the line - Ballsy yet measured from Clint Eastwood…. young Katoa repaid the faith and delivered.
calling it now, in 80mins of NSW cup footy, Oluapo is without doubt our best option to partner Burton. Whilst I’m at it, he probably offers more than Burton, looks a natural half - Burton is disorganised, lacks communication and should be demanding the ball carrying his team to success. Flanno on the other hand lacks confidence, cannot engage the line nor effectively kick the ball.
Oluapo is the answer.
Im also throwing down the challenge to Cameron Ciraldo, if you truely believe *quote* “we will develop our own style of football working to our strengths” - let Burton play unstructured (aka: Munster) and take a chance on Oluapo giving him a licence to thrill to.
This team CANNOT PLAY STRUCTURED FOOTBALL!!!! Let them play the free-flowing style that Mick Potter adopted.
